Fielders try not to get burned by new start times
Ken Griffey Jr. reached into his locker Saturday afternoon and grabbed three pairs of sunglasses.
A separate foam-lined Nike case housed eight more interchangeable lenses in tints ranging from bright orange to charcoal.
"Today is going to be a pretty good gauge of what glasses I've got to try and wear out there to try and see," Griffey said.
The Reds this offseason responded to fans' wishes for earlier start times on Saturdays by scheduling 10 of those home games at 6:10 p.m.
Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Great American Ball Park was the second played at the new time, but the first played under clear skies and sunshine.
The conditions had Griffey, left fielder Adam Dunn and others on both teams reaching for their sunglasses.
"It's going to be interesting," Reds manager Jerry Narron said before the game. "You might need to get a welder's mask (to see).
"They've just got to stay after it. If the ball does get in the sun, they've got to stay with it."
Shadows covered a small portion of the field when Reds pitcher Aaron Harang started the game with a strike at 6:11 p.m.
The sun typically presents a problem for 30 to 40 minutes for a 7:10 p.m. start.
"The old ballpark (Cinergy Field) was much taller than this one, so it didn't affect you for 7 p.m. games," Griffey said. "Here, everything is more compact and shorter."
Adding to the glare in the late afternoon and early evening is the reflection off the glass of the Scripps Howard building on Walnut Street.
"Even if the sun goes down, you can still see it off that mirrored building," Griffey said. "Some days it's bright orange. That's like playing in the Metrodome. There are some obstacles we have to deal with."
Dunn and Griffey were tested by the sun early in the game Saturday.
The game's first batter, Arizona shortstop Craig Counsell, hit a fly ball that Dunn caught. Diamondbacks center fielder Eric Byrnes then followed with a fly ball Griffey caught for the second out.
Only a sliver of sunlight was visible on the field in the fifth inning when Dunn fumbled a line drive by Arizona second baseman Orlando Hudson. Dunn did not flip down his sunglasses on the play.
"If you look at how outfielders play, look at their feet," Griffey said. "That will tell you if they see it or not - not their reaction and the jump."

Mill Creek Park has become a death camp for beautiful geese
I am writing with a heavy heart in regards to the massacre of the Canadian geese at Mill Creek Park. How can such a natural cathedral, where people and nature join together creating a sanctuary to rest from everyday pressures, now be forever remembered as a chamber of death for any animal that may be too numerous to now reside in Mill Creek Park?
When did overpopulation decree a death sentence?
I am outraged that all these beautiful geese and their babies (goslings) were slaughtered and dumped in a mass hole known as a landfill. These Canadian geese were being killed because they were a nuisance in regards to their droppings, which contained E coli bacteria. Every animal and human being has E coli in their waste.
These Canadian geese added to the natural beauty of Mill Creek Park. Their honking was like a hymn sung in an orchestra of praise with other animals in park. There are many unemployed people who would gladly work to clean droppings of these Canadian geese.
It was reported that these geese could not be used to feed so many hungry people in our area because these bodies of the geese contained a "possibility" of metals and other contaminants. The question I pose is, "Where did these metal contaminants come from and are these same metal contaminants found in the fish people are catching where these same geese resided?"
This is a terrible black mark for Mill Creek Park.
In conclusion, I hope in the future you find other means than slaughter, such as re-location. I will not support any levy of Mill Creek Death Camp for over population.
Sr. Mary Grace Rose Wilkins, Youngstown
Choose more humane methods to control geese overpopulation
The roundup and gassing to death of 238 Canada geese and goslings in Mill Creek MetroParks last week was inhumane and against the wishes of many Youngstown residents. It was also a waste of taxpayer money.
This time of year, Canada geese lose all of their flight feathers and cannot fly, which made them easy to round up and transport to their deaths. However, as soon as the molt season is over in a few weeks, Canada geese from nearby areas will discover the park's lush grasses and will fill the parks once again.
Treating eggs with corn oil (addling) is an inexpensive, humane and easy way to control the growth rate of Canada geese populations. If the park's staff had addled the eggs in their park and taken a humane and effective approach to this conflict, they would have reduced the number of geese in the park over time. They would have also been able to humanely harass geese away from the parks with methods such as lasers and specially trained dogs. Instead, they allowed goslings to hatch, only to kill them a few short weeks later.
Other important considerations in providing a long-term and sustainable solution would be to modify the park habitat to make it less attractive to geese and to curb the feeding of geese by the public. The Humane Society of the United States has helped communities across the country solve their goose conflicts using humane and effective solutions.
We would be happy to work with Mill Creek MetroParks moving forward to design a humane program that represents the wishes of the community and solves conflicts between people and geese.
Corey Roscoe, Washington, D.C.
Corey Roscoe is the Ohio state director for The Humane Society of the United States.
If geese aren't allowed in park, where on Earth can they go?
I have loved Mill Creek Park since I was a child and have hiked every trail, gone to horticulture programs, children's programs, etc. I believe Mill Creek Park is one of our greatest assets in the Mahoning Valley. But I am very angry that Canada geese were rounded up and killed there. And I would like to know who made this decision.
I realize this was done legally, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was ethical. Canada geese are protected, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources is too ready to give exemptions. To say people feeding them the wrong food (though not a good practice) is the cause of the problem is merely looking for a scapegoat.
The Humane Society of the United States says this on its website: "If not slaughtered, geese are killed by lethal gas — often in small chambers on the back of trucks brought directly to the roundup site. Geese are loaded into the chamber one at a time until several are inside. Witnesses can hear the geese banging and thumping trying to escape. When the chamber is full, the geese are gassed and dumped in trash bags to make room for more birds." What is more, we take advantage of the goslings and molting birds when they can't fly.
Moreover, at best, this roundup is only a temporary fix. There are more humane ways to address this problem. The website GeesePeace (www.geesepeace.com) has suggestions. The park says it has tried other methods. If they didn't solve the problem, then we have to live with it. Instead, our instinct is to kill the birds.
The park exists not only for us but for the wildlife in it. Just because we do not like their droppings and grazing does not mean we have the right to kill them. If they can't exist in a park, where should they go?

Investment bankers could provide help ailing steel industry needs
The Vindicator's recent editorial, "Demolition of steel mill dashes any hope of revival in Warren," is complete as far as it goes. But there is much more to the story. For a moment, let us go back to the early 1950s. Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. printed a history book on its first 50 years in business in Youngstown. It details its accomplishments through those years replete with the modernization of equipment and steel-making methods.
After 1950 and the high profit years that followed, this activity stopped. There was hardly any competition, and money was to be made. All steel companies in the U. S. were in the same mode — no new steel mills, even with a booming economy.
It had been said that the U.S. Steel CEO Edgar B. Speer intended to build a new integrated steel mill in Conneaut at Lake Erie. Part of his plan included closing a number of U.S. Steel plants around the country. Mr. Speer died in 1979, and David A. Roderick became the new CEO and did indeed close a number steel manufacturing facilities. He also proclaimed widely that U.S. Steel was in business to make money and not steel. It certainly went a long way in 1979 to promote the demise of the U.S. steel industry and started the investment of manufacturing of all kinds in foreign countries.
In 1979 the Republic Steel Co. put in a continuous casting system — 20 years after most foreign companies did so. This made a significant reduction in the steel making process. It was a little too late. Republic Steel could not catch up.
As this was happening, Republic Steel in Warren was sending profits to other units that needed funds to stay in business, much to the detriment of the Warren plant. Bankruptcy became the only outlet, and so we had C.D. Betters. The end was inevitable. He would sell the mill as scrap, but can this be the end?
Investment bankers can put together the billions of dollars to build a new steel plant. It will be needed to supply the steel needed for at least the next 20 or 30 years. Where are the entrepreneurs who can work with the investment bankers who can find the money to do what is needed?
Leonard J. Sainato, Warren
Corey, all you need is about 12 of these "beautiful" birds in your back yard and you'd have a much better idea of what's going on. They defecate all over the place, chew up all the lush grasses, and generally take over the yard like they own it. Where on earth you ask can these Geese go if not in Mill Creek Park? I hear Canada is nice this time of year.
We live in a world where freezers and grocery stores foster the illusion that life sustains itself without taking other life. Lives that even vegans indirectly take as the growing and harvesting of organic produce kills deer, birds, snakes, rodents, and insects.
I thought goose stepping Nazi's used zyclon b when gassing.
I live in Vancouver, BC, we have tons of permanent resident Canada geese. They did not stop Stanley Park from being named Worlds Best Park in 2013 and 2104 or stop National Geographic naming Vancouver as the world's 10th best beach city in the world.
I have no idea what Americans do to their Canada geese because they aren't leaving piles of poop here, don't attack children and the aged and infirm, and they are really more civil in our public spaces then many people, their kids, and their dogs and they don't leave non-biodegradeable crap lying around like I found in our park the other day after Canada Day.
Very sad that in the 21st century someone didn't notice geese having babies two or three years ago and do some research. Just shows how little someone values another innocent creature's little life and their suffering.
And did you know Canada geese are role models for humans?? They certainly have more character than the thugs that killed them.
Nobody is walking around in goose poop in my photos and if you saw that you need to wash your glasses.
And what 'native species' in your parks do geese crowd out? Bears, coyotes, wolves?? Dogs?
And as I pointed out...egg addling works to manage their population.
And fancy this...look where these Canada geese came from...they were planted there by humans.
"Prior to the 1960s, Canada geese were present in Ohio only during spring and fall migration, and they rarely nested.
A successful re-introduction of a generally non-migratory race has allowed for Canada geese to nest on many water bodies in all 88 Ohio counties."
Canuck you might want to clean your glasses for you seem to be having vision trouble. The boy in the blue shirt and yellow/green pants is not wearing anything on his feet. If you believe that his is not at risk of stepping into it you are a fool. Now check out the little girl in the blue bathing suit, you will notice her bare feet, and if you think her feet are clean of the geese business well then I would like to sell you a bridge in Brooklyn.
The geese are beautiful but have over populated over the years. This is an experiment gone bad. As humans we need to control somethings that some find offensive. I do have a problem with the statement they "Could be contaminated with metals." Why didn't people check before they proceeded with gassing them. The were just as likely to not be contaminated. At that point they could have been used as a food source. Education has a way of getting in the way of common sense at times.
The park board should be commended for their efforts to control the geese population over the last couple of years. They have tried several different methods of controlling the population including egg addling to no avail. The geese have caused a variety of problems including chasing people with young children out of the park. Geese may not be dangerous but they are certainly aggressive after laying eggs. Our park should be accessible to all particularly our children so they and their children continue to enjoy this treasure. The board are a group of unpaid people doing their best for our park. This decision was not made lightly and was made after other methods of control were tried. It was made at the suggestion of the DNR and the USDA. This could not have been an easy decision for the board and they have taken a lot of flak for it. Making decisions like this can be a lonely business I applaud The board for doing what was needed.
The only thing the Park did wrong is fail to hire more police to warn, and ticket, people who treat the Park as a dumping ground for their stale bread in the name of feeding the geese. A fifty dollar ticket would help discourage this foolish behavior especially if coupled with a couple of days of poop scooping patrol for repeat offenders.

Yesterday, I sat down to make a video for the current writers on my Word Sauce – Letting Go course.
I had no idea what I was going to say.
There is so much uncertainty in the world right now. Things feel as if they're changing and changing fast – and that can be so challenging for us human beings.
The financial system, the weather system, ways of thinking and living that we've know for a long time, all seem to have been tossed up in the air like a bundle of pick-up sticks.
Who knows where they'll fall?
But something new will happen. It always does.
One of the things I've been spending some time thinking about recently is, where do I, one small person, fit amidst all this change in the world?
What is mine to do?
I can only make a difference in my own tiny corner of the universe. How do I do that to the very best of my ability? How do I best use my resources?
How can I really continue to enjoy and relish this precious life that I'm so lucky to have been given? Because I really think I have a responsibility to do that, to have fun, to live as well as I can, to learn as much as I can, in addition to being as responsible as I can.
And then, of course, there's the voice that creeps in, whispering, but isn't that frivolous? Amid all the devastation and suffering right now, how is this even important?
And, as I listen deeply, as I write, as I share my process with the wonderful people who do my e-courses and workshops and come and work with me one-to-one, I've begun to get very clear that my work with writing is absolutely central to all this.
I'm still going to be working with my hypnotherapy clients here in York. I love doing this work. It's where everything – my research, my passion, my interest in so many areas of personal development – comes together for me.
And I'm going to be developing more and more of my work over at Word Sauce.
It's time.
I do hope you'll join me on this next stage of the journey. It feels like a very natural evolution for me. If you've been following this blog over recent months, you'll know that I've been writing less about techniques and interventions (that way of working was never truly mine anyway) and more about acceptance, surrender, mindfulness, allowing our light to shine.
Writing more about less.
My work with Word Sauce – the e-courses, the workshops, the community - is growing. I'm working on a book about writing and being.
It all feels right. It feels time.
Over at my new blog wordsaucery.com , I'll be writing about writing and living and everything that the process of writing continues to teach me about mindfulness, self-hypnosis and simply being in the world.
I may still pop back here from time to time for the odd reflection on self-hypnosis. I might not. I haven't really decided yet. We'll see where it all takes me.
I hope you'll follow me on this next part of the journey. I'm curious and excited about what it will bring.
Whether we meet again or not, I'd like to thank each and every one of you for being such wonderful readers and friends to me over the last four years. Every comment, every email I've received has been important to me in some way.
I wish you well on your own journey.
Do come and put your head round the door at wordsaucery.com
You'll always be so welcome.
And thank you again. Heartfelt thank you.

Tame Impala anything but at Turner Hall show
Kevin Parker's perfectionist tendencies went into overdrive on last year's "Lonerism," psychedelic band Tame Impala's sophomore full-length album. Besides insisting on playing nearly all the instruments in the studio, Parker mixed the album two times, flying from his native Australia to New York on both occasions, to get the details just to his liking.
Tame Impala didn't have the luxury of do-overs and fine tuning in its sold-out, 85-minute Turner Hall Ballroom set Sunday. And if Parker attempted to bring that obsessive craftsmanship to a live setting, he would run the risk of sabotaging the set's potential for spontaneity. »Read Full Article(1)

In her curtain speech before Saturday night's sold-out performance of "Rep Lab," Sandy Ernst - who oversees the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's justly acclaimed intern program - made clear that the Rep simply couldn't stage its shows without each year's crop of two dozen interns.
But even as we routinely note these interns' presence - in smaller roles, as extras and in program credits, where they are listed as understudies and assistants - we rarely get to really see what they can do. Now in its third year, "Rep Lab" - short plays showcasing intern actors, directors, choreographers and designers - lets us appreciate how good they can be. »Read Full Article

Nothing will happen if you don't try
The real me here is a person who takes pride in personal integrity and inner strength. I have worked hard to establish a life that affords me financial and emotional freedom. I have a clear sense of who I am and what I want, but am also open to see the merit of things that I would not have chosen otherwise. There is a playful and artistic side of me that values creativity and spontaneity, which helps keep me in a good balance between work and life. My definition of beauty in a woman is not how she stuns your eyes, but the sense of comfort she makes you feel when you close your eyes. She is the woman you feel safe to open your heart to and want to be with in good time and bad. I try to be mindful of the need for self-growth, but there is no need here to share my virtues or shortcomings, because I believe that an authentic healthy relationship will bring out the best of both people involved. I have been asked by many men here wondering if I do look like my pictures in my profile. Yes, thank to the bliss of heart I am well preserved. I only post current photos (all are within 18 months) and many of them are my arm-length iphone self portraits. I came to this cyber space to find the person who deserves my gift of love. With him I dream of the joy of co-creating a new journey of possibilities. The image of a man who catches my attention is the way he walks on earth with his chin up. He has no fear; confident yet humble, and has a good grip of where he is going in life and what it takes to get there. He is well learned and cultured; has seen the world and respects differences in people of diverse backgrounds. He is a reflective thinker and a vivid communicator who can carry conversations on a wide variety of topics. I measure the success of a man, not by the amount of wealth or fame he has generated, but by the altitude of his inner landscape. Serious inquiry only. I believe in people's best intention, but intimate relationship involves vulnerable emotions which should be tended with moral and respect. If you can't handle one relationship at a time, please don't contact me.

Middle of the Road
I am well traveled and believe that if I am happy inside I am happy anywhere. I gravitate toward mountains and water (lake, mountain creek, ocean, waterfall, jacuzzi spa, hot spring..).
I have a curious mind and appetite and would try anything for at least once. I am a huge fruit lover. My secret dream is to travel and explore exotic fruits that I have not yet seen.
I love music (from Andrea Boceli, Christ Botti, to Sade, Sting, Santana, Ana Belen,..), fine food and cooking (take cooking seriously; it's an art and science), travel and reading (food for my soul), dance (watching and participating).

The Internal Revenue Service has postponed two major IT projects partly because of budget constraints, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office. The actions are indicative of an IRS budget that has shrunk below 2009 levels and a decrease in full-time equivalent workers.
The Information Reporting and Document Matching system, which is designed to increase voluntary tax compliance and the accuracy of income reporting, was expected to be completed in 2019 and has already gobbled up $70 million. The Return Review Program (RRP) was initially slated to be complete in 2015 but is on hold indefinitely.
"IRS is working to develop a plan to move beyond the hold on RRP, and expects to complete the plan in the summer of 2014, and will initiate the plan after that time," the GAO report states. "Moving forward, this plan will help inform IRS' funding needs for RRP."
Budget cuts have chipped away at employee training as well. According to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, funds for training and related travel expenses have decreased by 83 percent and 87 percent, respectively, since 2010.
GAO recommended that IRS officials allocate their limited resources more effectively by assessing the revenue yield against costs for different enforcement programs. IRS leaders agreed with that strategy.
"Given the time to develop additional key data, IRS is considering how to apply interim methods, findings or approximations," the GAO report states. "They are unsure when this work will be completed; we believe our recommendation remains valid."

Major league owners descended on Chicago on Wednesday while the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays worked on a blockbuster trade with implications for the rest of the sport. It looked as if the owners and baseball executives were interested in hearing more about the deal, even if they didn't want to talk about it just yet Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria strolled by a group of reporters and said ''Not today, boys. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm not going to figure it out for you.'' Miami traded All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes, left-hander Mark Buehrle and right-hander Josh Johnson to Toronto for a handful of the Blue Jays' top prospects. The deal is pending physicals for the players.

Flying Above, Pilot Spots Thief in His Own Driveway
A Florida pilot was flying over his home when he noticed something alarming: a burglary in progress.
Earlier this week, David Zehntner was returning home from North Carolina in his personal airplane when he decided to fly over his house in Glades County, according to this report from NBC2.
That's when he noticed Gary Robert Haines, 59, peeking into the windows of his home. Haines then hitched Zehntner's trailer to his truck and took off down the driveway.
Zehntner called the Glades County Sheriff's Office and began to follow Haines down SR-80 toward Lee County, NBC2 reports.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office made a traffic stop on Haines's truck on I-75 and detained him until Charlotte County deputies arrived to arrest him.
Authorities impounded Haines's truck, NBC2 reports. Detectives found a loaded rifle and bullets in the floorboard.

The way forward
Recent developments in the country have provoked in me a search for the way forward. Well, for readers of this column, that is not a new preoccupation for me – a search for the way forward. What is perhaps different this time is the intensity of the provocation.
I have long settled the question of where to look for, for the change that will ensure real progress. That is from among the youths; specifically what I call the "elite youth". This informs my career choice of working directly with undergraduates, who - inspite of all their "issues " – present a better crop of raw material than those in the markets, the motor parks and the streets.
The developments I refer to include, but not limited to, the Mr. Herman Hembe of the House of Representatives versus Ms. Arunma Oteh of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) bribery and hotel bill accusations, last Saturday's Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP)'s convention and the muffled reports of heavy last minute lobbying (read bribing) of delegates, leading to the eventual "crowning" of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur and others as national officials, and the Dr. Sani Teidi Shuaibu of the Pension Administration (Office of the Head of Service of the Federation) scandal. Let me add the report carried by last Tuesday's Punch newspaper under the title "FG laments N3tn spent on education".
In it, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim, had, at the opening of a two-day Civil Society/Stakeholders Roundtable on Education, organised by the Independent Service Delivery Monitoring Group, revealed that between 1999 and now, the Federal Government has spent N3trillion on education; "with a little impact," he added. He also said he was aware that the sector had been suffering from inadequate funding.
Anyim, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary (Special Duties) in his office, Mr. Femi Olayisade, added that government was committed to finding solutions to the problem. He seemed miffed that, inspite of this huge funding, a recurrent "principal demand of ASUU" was "increased funding". Before taking his leave, he charged the roundtable to "discuss the ways and means of improving our educational system (so that) government's investment in education (will) be seen making the required impact".
No prize for guessing right that the same hydra-headed monster, corruption, is at the root of each of these developments. Let us take it from the last. Three trillion, in any currency (even in Zimbabwean dollars), is no chicken change, as my students would say. But there is not a single aspect of our education – primary, secondary, tertiary, not even research – that we can say is faring considerably.
From this year's budget, we have some idea of where the bulk of the N3tn went. Of the N400billion earmarked for education in 2012, almost N340billion goes into paying of salaries, allowances, overhead and other recurrent expenditure. Only N55billion will try to tackle capital projects in the entire federation. Equally, the 2005 N50million bribe-for-budget scandal, under the then Minister Prof Fabian Osuji and then Senate President Adolphus Wabara, shows how another part of the money was spent.
Thus, by the time National Assembly "oversight" and "appropriation" functions (from both chambers) are done, what remained of the N3tn went through personnel and overhead costs at the Ministry and all the agencies under it (UBE, NUC, NBTE, JAMB, NECO, NERDC, etc). Then, whatever remains (if we work with N55b of N400b - taking a cue from the 2012 budget - which roughly approximates to less than 15% of the total) the now less than 15percent of N3tn is all that is left for any development. And, may I add here that the money earmarked for capital projects usually always never gets fully released; and a bulk of what is released somehow ends up back in the pockets of the director generals, permanent secretaries and other "big ogas and madams" in the ministries/agencies. Try also to include what goes into the pockets of the vice-chancellors, rectors and provosts as well as other principal officials. You see, it's a vicious cyclic racket that we run here.
This directly leads us to the exertions of Shuaibu and others at the headquarters of the nation's civil service. Reading through the properties of the man that was reportedly seized by the EFCC, one can understand how our top civil servants are among the richest in the land, amassing properties and sending their children to the most expensive schools in and outside the country. I am too disgusted to add anything else to the matter.
We have so accepted corruption as the norm that, often times, some of those we describe as "respectable" do and allow practices that make the discerning wonder. I was a little child when Bamanga Tukur was governor of then Gongola State (albeit for just three months), and a teenager when he served the Sani Abacha junta, so cannot say much about his conduct in office. But from what I have read about him since I first "met" him in my days at Fate Foundation (an entrepreneurial training school) as the head of the African Business Roundtable, I had formed a picture of absolute respectability about him. Now, I do not care much for the PDP. This is formed from my proven premise that the party is completely clueless on how to deliver the nation from the cesspit of underdevelopment. Thus, immediately I learnt that Tukur was angling for the party's chairmanship (if he wasn't, he wouldn't allow Jonathan or anyone else prod him on), I did a re-think. When, therefore, news of the "lobbying" to ensure the President wasn't humiliated by the Northeast upstarts started coming out, I groaned to myself the beautiful ones are not yet born.
Hembe is a young man; Ms. Oteh is a technocrat. If Tukur is 76, Hembe is under 45; if Shuaibu is a man, Oteh is a woman. Each of these is at least educated, exposed, well-travelled or even has the three experiences. So, our problem is not "recycled men", it is not "greedy men", and it is not "desperate women". The solution is therefore not in "technocrats", and it is not in "new-breed".
While reading the report quoting Anyim, I remember that I first heard of the Independent Service Delivery Monitoring Group (ISDMG), the body that organised the roundtable, sometime last year when Vice-President Namadi Sambo spoke at another event it held. This prompted a research into who and what are behind the group. My findings are interesting. I will continue from there next week.
Happy birthday, Asiwaju
I join other well-wishers to pray for former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he clocks 60 today. I have met the man only once, but he has impacted my life in many positive ways since then, even in a directly personal way.
What can I wish you today, sir, but to ask God to keep you strong until you fulfill all your dreams, personal and national. Happy birthday, Asiwaju.

Roane County Property Assessor Teresa Kirkham is accusing one of her opponents of being "desperate for money" because of a slip-and-fall lawsuit he has pending in Circuit Court.
David Morgan is one of four people challenging Kirkham in the August election.
Morgan, who lives in a condo in the Villages of Center Farm subdivision, sued Rockwood Electric Utility and the cities of Rockwood and Kingston in 2007.
According to the lawsuit, he was taking out his trash on March 1, 2006, when he fell from a curb.
Roane State Community College will host a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, June 5, for its new Allied Health Sciences and Technology Building at the college's Oak Ridge campus.
The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. at the campus, 701 Briarcliff Ave. The public is invited.
Property owned by Roane County property assessor candidate Cheryl Laxton and her husband was foreclosed on by Citizens National Bank earlier this year.
Laxton said she doesn't think that should be a reflection on her ability to run the assessor's office.
"We were caught up in a downturn economy like so many other great people in Roane County," she said.
The property is located in Providence Place subdivision on Hwy. 58. Laxton said she and her husband purchased it in 2008 with plans to build mid-scale condos.
The Princess Theatre Foundation is having another fundraising event, this time with entertainer Dennis Tufano, one-time lead vocalist for the Buckinghams.
Tufano will appear at the downtown Harriman theater starting at 7 p.m. May 24.
A flyer said he will be singing favorites such as "Kind of a Drag," "Hey Baby, They Playing Our Song," "Susan," "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," "Don't You Care" and "Back in Love Again.
Construction on the new Dyllis Springs Elementary School is coming along.
"We're hoping by the first of the (2012-13 school) year everything is cleared up, ready to go and we're moving kids in to start teaching," Roane County Board of Education Chairman Sam Cox said.
Cox and other board members toured the school earlier this month.
"I hope it will help us save money on utilities and so forth," Cox said. "With money as tight as it is right now, that's going to be very important."
Rockwood Mayor James Watts' proposed budget for 2012-13 eliminates Rockwood City Administrator Jack Miller's job and calls for a 25-cent increase in the city's tax rate.
Miller, however, had previously made a budget proposal that would begin to solve the city's dire financial straights but without quite the pinch to taxpayers. His suggestions were distributed to city officials prior to Watts' proposal last week.
Two things about the 2012-13 school budget bothered longtime Roane County Board of Education Member Mike "Brillo" Miller.
One was some support employees were excluded from getting a 2-percent raise.
The other was having to ask the Roane County Commission for a 6-cent property-tax rate increase to fund the budget.
Those two issues were addressed at last week's board meeting. Miller made a motion to give all support employees a 2-percent raise and use $739,233 of surplus to balance the budget.
Samuel Corum proves he's no chicken by getting up close with a fine-feathered friend during the recent Roane County United Way Famly Fun Day celebration.
This chick was just one of the critters in the Extension Service exhibit that proved to be a popular draw for the event at Roane State Community College.
The Roane County Board of Education approved a contract for new Director of Schools Gary Aytes at last week's meeting.
Aytes will take over for retiring director Toni McGriff on July 1.
His contract is only for two years. McGriff, by comparison, started with a four-year contract when she was hired in 2005.
The board does have the option to grant Aytes an extension before the contract expires on June 30, 2014.
"It's fine with me," Aytes said about his contract.
The Roane County Sheriff's Office has released more information about the death of 2-year-old Clifford Dotson.
Clifford lived with his parents, Amanda and Matthew Dotson, at 180 Lerchen Road in East Roane County.
According to an incident report, an officer was dispatched to the address at 4:47 a.m. May 3 to investigate a suspicious death.
"Fort Loudoun hospital in Lenoir City called in that Amanda Dotson had come to the hospital with a dead child," the report said.

Start-up procedures: progress in 2007
Building on the discussions and conclusions of the "Workshop on start-up procedures" of November 2006, and after consultation with relevant parties, the Commission launched two actions to support Member States comply with the 2006 Spring Council conclusions:
- It created a document to establish a clearer definition of what is to be looked at when assessing start-up times, costs and one-stop shops in the context of the Lisbon strategy for growth and jobs: Staff Working Document SEC(2007)129 [164 KB]
- It included "start-ups" as one of the focus areas for the 2007 Charter Conference in Berlin (4-5 June 2007) which was used as a platform to exchange information on start-up procedures and presented the best practices which had been selected.
Assessment of compliance with the 2006 spring council conclusions for start-ups
The conclusions of the 2006 Spring European Council (point 30), stated that:
"Member States should establish, by 2007, a one-stop-shop, , for setting up a company in a quick and simple way; reduce the average time for setting up a business, to one week anywhere in the EU by the end of 2007 and that start-up fees should be as low as possible."
In December 2007 the Commission assessed all the 27 Member States on their compliance with the 2006 Spring Council conclusions for start-ups. The results for each of the three areas were:
Number of Member States
Not accomplished
The average time to start-up a company was 12 days and the average cost € 485.
Most countries have established a one-stop-shop or equivalent arrangement even though in some cases they do not cover all types of companies: only 2 out of 3 one stop shop systems offer the possibility to register a private limited company.
In general registration times have improved and in half of the Member States it is now possible to register a company within one week. However, starting a business requires more than mere registration and there are still vast differences between Member States in terms of the number, cost and length of procedures required. In most cases, there is scope and need for greater simplification.
The last 20 months since the conclusions have seen Member States' efforts continue and in some cases accelerate in the pursuit of easier company start-ups. Some of the most relevant examples within this time frame have been:
- Italy is interconnecting the different agencies involved in company creation. This will effectively transform the notaries into a one-stop-shop. A similar process has already been accomplished by Belgium.
- Slovenia is finalising a number of very important modifications into their physical (VEM) and virtual (e-VEM) one-stop-shops that will reduce the times and costs to the levels of the best countries in Europe.
- Estonia has introduced a web based system operated by the notaries that has reduced company registration times to hours or in some cases even minutes. Also Portugal (empresanahora) and France (cfenet) have "transported" their successful start-up procedures into the web facilitating the online creation of companies.
- The Netherlands have eliminated two formerly required procedures which will reduce 5 days from the time to register a company.
- In Latvia, the registry has been given power to act as a notary, hence eliminating the need for that step with the accompanying reduction of costs and times.
In addition to those there are some significant on-going processes:
- Luxembourg has embarked on a process of modernisation of their IT systems which will reduce the times required to comply with the start-up procedures.
- Finland has embarked on a very ambitious programme to create a fully integrated enterprise portal (enterprisefinland). It will include the possibility to create companies online. Results are expected in some years. Sweden expects to be able to offer online creation of any type of company in 2008.
- Spain is expanding the capabilities of the PAIT one-stop-shop so that it can handle private limited companies. There is also a project to merge PAIT with the other one-stop-shop network (VUE-Ventanilla Unica Empresarial).

SW19 to the rescue
From football to fishing and everything in between, including cricket, rugby, golf and tennis - there's some amazing coverage coming up on the five Sky Sports channels. Plus, with the launch of Sky Sports News HD this summer, all five channels will soon be available in stunning high definition, only with Sky. Click here for more

Skysports.com's Joe Drabble explains how Wimbledon more than made up for his World Cup woe.
In 1986 we had the Hand of God, in '94 we had Bebeto and his baby, in 2006 we had Zidane's head-butt, and in 2010 we had... vuvuzelas. After four years of waiting, I'll be honest, I expected more. The pre-tournament bets and banter had been flowing, the fridge was stocked and the sickness excuses prepared, I was counting the days until June 11, the start of my favourite sporting spectacle...
What an anti-climax!!
Thank goodness for Wimbledon, the event that saved my summer.
As drab as I have found this year's World Cup, in no way should that undermine how compelling Wimbledon was.
While South Africa has had nauseating vuvuzelas, half-empty stadiums and a plethora of forgettable football matches, Wimbledon captured the imagination of the nation with pure sporting theatre on grass.
I have been covering the championships for skysports.com over the past fortnight and have witnessed first hand just how much the 13 days has kept sports fans on the edge of their (work) seats.
The very first match set the tone, the seemingly unbeatable six-time champion and favourite Roger Federer taken to five sets by little-known Columbian Alejandro Falla.
As people got wind of a major shock unfolding on Centre Court I became inundated with questions on the interactive service. 'What's wrong with Federer?' 'Is he injured?' 'Who is this Columbian?' It was as if it was inconceivable for Federer to find himself in this position. Fortunately, for Federer fans, their man escaped.
Over in Africa, the first seven games of the tournament yielded just nine goals as the majority of players failed to get to grips with the new high-tech football in front of sparse crowds.
But while England toiled against USA and Algeria, British number one Andy Murray did his best to lift the spirits of the nation as he powered through the first week at the All England Club without breaking sweat.
I would flick back and forth - World Cup, Wimbledon, World Cup, Wimbledon - slightly perplexed at how I could find myself with this TV watching dilemma.
As it was, there was simply no competition between the sound of buzzing wasps or the sight of Nadal, Federer, Murray et al entertaining the London crowd with some sublime tennis.
The sporting world witnessed something quite special on June 23, not England's qualification-clinching 1-0 win over Slovenia, but a tennis battle of gladiatorial proportions between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut.
A day on the drink with pals watching England had meant I was rather oblivious to what was happening on Court 18, however the wave of text messages I received later that evening alerted me to something rather special.
Time was eventually called with the score locked at 59-59 in the final set, more LA Lakers v New York Knicks than strawberries and cream.
Nursing sunburn and a rather sore head, I arrived at work the following day, loaded up the interactive Wimbledon service, made a coffee pick-me-up, and before I knew it I was soon to be the integral part of thousands of people's days across the world.
From Steve at Yorkshire Water to Maureen in Barbados, everyone wanted a piece of Isner v Mahut and were relying on me to keep them in the loop point-by-point.
The 11 hour, five minute marathon eventually finished 6-4 3-6 6-7 7-6 70-68 to Isner - the longest, most physically draining match of tennis ever witnessed since the sport was conceived on this earth. Isner and Mahut were not alone in feeling exhausted.
Back in Durban the following day, footballing heavyweights Portugal and Brazil played out one of the most mind numbing goalless draws I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing. That was my clincher - World Cup over.
Of course, I tuned back in to watch England's humiliating - if not slightly predictable - last 16 mauling to Germany, but that has more or less been that for me and I have watched little of the tournament since.
Why? Because Wimbledon provided my sports fix.
Two Czechs stole the show - Tomas Berdych stunned Federer, while Petra Kvitova won her first ever matches on grass to reach the women's singles semi-finals.
Murray fell short again as world number one Rafael Nadal refused to follow the script, the Spaniard later hailing the crowd on Centre Court as one of the best he's ever played in front of for the way they applauded their home hope and his opponent in equal measures.
And while Nadal and Serena Williams safely booked their place back at SW19 for the final weekend, Berdych and Vera Zvonareva reached their first grand slam finals with famous wins.
The finals may not have lived up to the drama of the days that preceded them, yet Nadal and Serena proved to be worthy champions at this wonderful event.
Rio de Janeiro 2014 can wait its turn.

Granted, everything seemed like it was going down hill since Bart's arrival. Wally pretended there was no correlation between the series of unfortunate events and his new cousin, but it could be hard sometimes. The kid seemed oblivious enough, but Wally'd been in the business long enough to know when someone was hiding something.

Q: How has the face of the sports nutrition market changed in recent years?
A: Now a $3.2-bilion industry projected to grow 21% between 2008 and 2013, sports nutrition products are no longer just a niche category used by elite athletes, such as pro athletes and hardcore bodybuilders to augment their rigorous training and give them a competitive advantage. General consumers who lead active lifestyles have now sought out sports nutrition supplements to improve their physical look, energy and performance as part of a pathway to leading a healthier lifestyle. Moreover, their brand selections in this category are highly influenced by the endorsements of serious athletes and bodybuilders whom they aspire to emulate.
Over 40 years ago, a remarkable discovery was made by a brilliant scientist…John Willard, Ph.D. At the time, this talented chemistry professor was in the process of conducting research on a highly concentrated trace mineral water when he serendipitously combined the trace mineral water with another product he'd been developing. With that small stroke of inspired genius, he invented Willard Water.
Blood sugar and appetite are monitored by various systems within the body. For example, specialized immune cells that surround every brain cell can sense the level of glucose in your blood. Every time blood sugar drops rapidly, these cells send signals to parts of the brain that cause you to feel hungry. If you are overweight, insulin resistance and cravings can make your brain send out hunger signals even when it is inappropriate.
1. What is the importance of vitamin D in the body?
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient that requires conversion in the liver and kidneys to form the physiologically active form of vitamin D known as calcitriol. Active vitamin D functions as a steroid hormone in the body, augmenting calcium and phosphorus absorption in the kidneys, which helps to form and maintain healthy bones and teeth.
ResistAid™ is a natural proprietary immune support ingredient manufactured by the Swiss life-science company Lonza. It is produced via a water based extraction patented process (US 5756098, EP 866808 and other patents) from larch trees that grow in abundance in the United States. ResistAid™ consists of the soluble fiber arabinogalactan and bioactive flavonoids, and thus has antioxidant capacity.
Kaneka QH UbiquinolTM
What Is Ubiquinol?
Ubiquinol is the reduced, active antioxidant form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Produced naturally within the body, Ubiquinol is CoQ10 that has been converted ("reduced") for use in the cellular energy production process. In addition to its critical role in energy production, it is the strongest lipid-soluble antioxidant, protecting the body's cells from oxidative stress that can cause damage to proteins, lipids and DNA.
Bones are not inert structures, like the beams or pillars of your house. They are dynamic living tissue that requires a wide range of nutrients for optimal health—and not just minerals like calcium.
Q. What are the recommended macronutrient needs of school-age and preadolescent children? And why are certain healthy fats important in children's nutrition?
Many nutrition store shoppers know of whey protein as a mainstay in the sports nutrition, weight management and general health/wellness categories. An important, but lesser known component of whey is lactoferrin and it is key for immune health. In fact, several studies indicate lactoferrin has immune-modulating effects and, in supplement form, it is believed to support a healthy immune system.
Chondroitin remains one of the best-known supplements not only for joint health, but also as a "natural supplement" among mass market consumers. It is often consumers' singular entry point into consuming condition-specific dietary supplements as part of normal preventative, self-care regimens.

We've got best practices from LivingSocial and estate sale guru Everything But The House in our next Insight webinar. Google is celebrating the birthdate of Robert Moog, the inventor of the Moog synthesizer. How? Oh nothing major, they just converted the logo on the most-used search engine in the universe into a working synthesizer. Users can record their creations to their Google+ pages for public sharing, similar to last year's Les Paul tribute. Above: Robert Moog The interactive Google Doodle was created by "Chief Doodler" Ryan Germick and Google Engineer Joey Hurst, and took nearly four months of development. Hurst spent his free time (where Google allows its employees to do whatever they want) building the synthesizer, but it wasn't until the recent Web Audio API was added to Google Chrome that the project finally reached its full potential. The API allows for high-quality low-latency audio in a web browser (Chrome, to be specific). And that's a necessity here, as the Google synthesizer has over 20 functioning keys, knobs, doodads, and doohickeys from which your auditory masterpieces can be birthed. Moog Music will be donating 50 percent of online sales today to the Bob Moog Foundation. Also in celebration of Robert Moog's accomplishments, the Animoog app (normally $10) is on sale for a dollar on iTunes. The iPad version (normally $30) is on sale for $10. As a diehard fan of chiptunes and electronica, I plan to record a few beats of my own to honor Moog. Unfortunately, most of the music I make causes dogs to howl several blocks away, but whatever. Happy birthday, Moog! Below is a guide to using the Google Moog synthesizer (click for full size). Come back and link us to your tunes if you make anything cool. We are partial to Super Mario remixes and 80's cartoon themes. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

After a freebie night of MMA action, the UFC awarded Vitor Belfort (Pictured), C.B. Dollaway, Daniel Sarafian and Ildemar Alcantara each an additional $50,000 for their special performances Saturday night at "UFC on FX: Belfort vs. Bisping." Belfort earned his bonus check in true highlight reel fashion. "The Phenom" planted his left shin on Michael Bisping's face in the night's main event to earn 'Knockout of the Night.' Overall, Dollaway and Sarafian put on the most thrilling scrap of the evening. Their back-and-forth affair resulted in a controversial split decision win for Dollaway. Nonetheless, both 185-pounders are $50k richer for scoring 'Fight of the Night.' After losing the opening round to Wagner Prado, Alcantara rallied to catch his opponent in a slick kneebar in the middle stanza. That effort was good enough to earn 'Submission of the Night' 'UFC on FX 7' took place inside Ginasio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Fight of the Night: C.B. Dollaway and Daniel Sarafian ($50,000/each) Submission of the Night: Ildemar Alcantara ($50,000) Knockout of the Night: Vitor Belfort ($50,000)

Learn how to access your Microsoft Exchange account online using Outlook Web App (OWA). In this course, author Gini Courter takes you on a tour of OWA, and shows how to send, receive, and manage your email on the web. Learn the ins and outs of tagging and organizing your email and discover how to create appointments, request meetings, and view multiple calendars. Plus, find out how to add, group, and search for contacts and use the task feature to manage your to-do list effectively.
Right now each time I end an email I need to provide a signature. It can be as simple as just my name, but normally in a business setting I want to have something more that includes my name and my department, my voicemail number, perhaps my mobile phone, perhaps a disclaimer at the bottom that says that this email was sent for specific purposes and cannot be forwarded, information that might be provided by my legal department or would be required in my organization.
So I want to create a signature that I can use. If you are used using Outlook, you're used to having multiple signatures that you can apply. Here in OWA, you get one. So let me show you how to create your one OWA signature. We are going to choose Options>See All Options>Settings and here are the Mail settings. You will find lots of choices here that I've referred to earlier in the course. You can go set those options, here is where they are. And I'm going to enter and format a signature here. That looks good.
Now I can include other information if I would like, if I have our website and I'd like to direct people there. Maybe we have some social networking information that we want to provide. Whatever it is this is your signature. So you are going to use this signature, as the alternative to typing something. You always have the ability to just type. If you wish, you can say automatically include my signature on messages that I sent, and that's going to save us some time.
I am going to turn that off for right now. We'll come back here in a minute and enable it. At the lower right-hand corner I click Save. It's saving my signature, and return to my mailbox by clicking the Mail link in the upper left-hand corner. Now let's compose a new message and when I'm done entering text whatever my text is, I was in the middle of sending a message to Mark, I'm going to click Insert Signature and there's my signature. Looks good to me, works well.
If I don't want that much signature, then I can just type like that. If I'm replying to a message for example I'm replying to this message here from Judith, after I type my reply, sounds great to me. Once again I can insert my entire signature if that's what I want. Now just a little protocol here, normally you will include your entire signature on new emails, but you won't include your entire signature on replies. They already know who you are, they are writing to you.
I am going to go ahead and leave this page, let's go back to our options then and let's tell OWA in the settings for mail that we would like a signature on all the messages we sent and save. Go back our Mail Options create a new message and notice my signature is there already. Now if I don't want my entire signature, that's fine. I can just delete the part of it that I don't want, but I have this nicely formatted signature for whenever I do want it.
One more thought about signatures; in many corporations you have specific text you're required to include in your signature, specific attributes that have to be there, it has to have your name, it has to have your title and it has to your location and it has to have this text provided by your corporate legal counsel that says the contents of as this message are confidential and so on. You have seen these messages before with signatures like this. It's also possible that your IT department has automatically created your signature for you and has lock it down. So that when you begin using OWA, there is a signature there that meets those attributes and you don't need to modify your signature at all, you just use the signature that's provided and it's automatically stamped on your email.
So don't be shocked if you didn't build the signature but you have one already.
