CLEVELAND (AP) - Ryan Raburn's three-run homer in the 11th inning off Jason Frasor gave the Cleveland Indians a wild and sloppy 11-8 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday night.
After Asdrubal Cabrera and Carlos Santana singled off Frasor (0-2), Raburn pulled a 2-1 pitch onto the home-run porch in left to rescue the Indians, who blew a 7-1 lead and nearly lost to a Texas team that committed three errors and had three wild pitches.
As he neared home plate, Raburn flipped his helmet high into the air and was pummeled by his teammates who doused him with water.
It was the seventh walk-off win this season for the Indians, who began a stretch of 14 of 17 games at home.
Bryan Shaw (1-2), Cleveland's fifth reliever, stranded the go-ahead run at third in the 11th, and the Indians stayed within three games of first-place Detroit in the AL Central.

The heart is, in the simplest terms, a pump made up of muscle tissue. Like all muscle, the heart requires a source of energy and oxygen in order to function. The heart's pumping action is regulated by an electrical conduction system that coordinates the contraction of the various chambers of the heart.
An electrical stimulus is generated by the sinus node (also called the sinoatrial node, or SA node). This is a small mass of specialized tissue located in the right atrium (right upper chamber) of the heart. The sinus node generates an electrical stimulus regularly (60 to 100 times per minute under normal conditions). The atria are then activated. The electrical stimulus travels down through the conduction pathways (similar to the way electricity flows through power lines from the power plant to your house) and causes the heart's ventricles to contract and pump out blood. The right and left atria (the two upper chambers of the heart) are stimulated first and contract for a short period of time before the right and left ventricles (the two lower chambers of the heart).
The electrical impulse travels from the sinus node to the atrioventricular node (also called AV node). There, impulses are slowed down for a very short period, then continue down the conduction pathway via the bundle of His into the ventricles. The bundle of His divides into right and left pathways to provide electrical stimulation to the right and left ventricles.
Normally at rest, as the electrical impulse moves through the heart, the heart contracts about 60 to 100 times a minute, depending on a person's age.
Each contraction of the ventricles represents one heartbeat. The atria contract a fraction of a second before the ventricles so their blood empties into the ventricles before the ventricles contract.

NicStick Ecigs are products offered by a private corporation that is proud to be an American-based company. The key to its fast growth is the alignment of the entire organization to the philosophy of providing customers and employees the best possible experience. It regards customers as its life blood and considers their different purchasing options.
NicStick Ecigs Details
Every tank cartridge from NicStick can last from three to four weeks of use.
The e-liquid it offers is high quality. The main ingredient in the e-liquid is PG or propylene glycol. PG is a crucial ingredient because it is an agent that helps vaporize the liquid to simulate smoke effect.
Glycerin is also an ingredient used in NicStick e-liquid. It is odorless and colorless. It is used in various food products such as fruit preserves, candies and cakes.
The e-liquid may also contain nicotine depending on the strength that a customer purchases. Offered nicotine levels are from 0 mg up to 24 mg.
Ethyl Maltol is also used in sweetening the e-liquid flavors. Another sweetening ingredient used is Acetyl Maltol that can also be found in potatoes, nuts, coffee, cocoa and bread.
The basic heterocyclic compound Pyridine is also added. It has no color, a weak alkaline, water soluble and flammable. To give the e-liquid a nutty flavor, Trimethylpyrazine is added, which is also used in cosmetic products and flavor agents.
One cartridge is equivalent to about 1 pack of cigarette. One 5 ml ejuice bottle can last as long as 3 cigarette packs and a 15 ml bottle is equal to 9 cigarette packs.
Flavors offered by NicStick are USA/Mix Non-menthol, Tobacco, Menthol, Coffee, Turkish Blend and HorsePower-Energy Blend.
Products Offered
NicStick has excellent products for both new and advanced users of electronic cigarettes.
It offers a 6-pack XL Disposable NicStick Ecigs for $51. One disposable device can produce up to 500 puffs. You need not worry about assemblies, refilling or charging. This disposable product is ideal for those to travel and for those who are beginner users of NicStick or of electronic cigarettes.
It comes in two flavors: Regular USA mix and menthol. Three nicotine levels are also available: strong at 3.6%, Regular at 2.4% and lite at 1.8%.
Its Sirius Deluxe starter kit can be bought for $26.99. It is actually a new cartomizer product from NicStick. This reusable device will not bother you about refills. This is because its cartomizers are already pre-filled.
When the e-liquid in a cartomizer is used up, you need to replace it with a new one. Each time you replace the cartomizer, you also replace the atomizer so vapor production is always at its best.
The Sirius kit contains 2 rechargeable batteries that can be recharged up to 300 times, 2 pre-filled cartomizers and 1 USB charger.
The eGo Clear Express Special from NicStick is offered for $34.95 and is the newest single kit offered. It comes with a battery rated at 650mAh and with a lifespan of 300 charge times. Each full charge offers 24-48 continuous hours of vaping.
This kit likewise comes with eGo clear atomizer that can be refilled 30-40 times. This is an affordable kit especially for travelers and heavy smokers.
It also offers EGO Clear DUO for $49.95. It is basically like the eGo express, except that its kit contains 2 batteries, 2 refillable eGo tanks, wall adaptor, USB charger and 10 ml bottle of ejuice in either menthol or regular flavor and 18 or 24 mg nicotine.
You may also get yourself a Tank EGO Electronic Cigarette for $49.95. With this you can have 2 batteries, 2 atomizers, 3 pre-filled cartridges, soft carry case, USB charger and wall adaptor.

An innovative new program is being tested in a Twin Cities homeless shelter. It's called the D3 Process: dream it, design it, and do it.
Students are trained to think and act like designers in a project-based learning environment that focuses on skills that some believe are underemphasized in traditional school settings.
The idea is that training at-risk teens to creatively develop solutions to everyday problems will translate into solving real-world problems.
The program is being tested at People Serving People, one of three D3 pilot projects in the country.
It's a collaborative effort between the Pearson Foundation and The New Learning Institute.

New York-based photographer Bob Gruen is a rock & roll icon. From photographing some of the earliest concerts of Ike and Tina Turner to chronicling months on tour with bands such as the Clash and the Sex Pistols, Gruen has done it all. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, capturing loving and candid shots of both emerging and established artists including the Rolling Stones, the Ramones, Blondie, Led Zeppelin, Patti Smith and New York Dolls.
Decades of constant documenting yielded many famous photographs and subjects, including John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Gruen befriended the couple in their New York years and shot some of the most iconic, enduring photos of Lennon, among them the one of Lennon wearing the sleeveless New York City ringer T-shirt and the photo where he's flashing the peace sign in front of the Statue of Liberty.
Gruen's newest book, Rock Seen, serves as a collection of the photographer's favorite shots from throughout his 40-year career — he also wrote captions and included behind-the-scenes stories to accompany the photographs. We spoke to Gruen in advance of his appearance this week at the St. Louis Jewish Book Festival and asked him about his work habits, past projects and plans for the future.
Jaime Lees: Part of what I like about your work is that you seem to be a fan first, and I think that it shows in your photos.
Bob Gruen: Yes, well, that's because I didn't choose to have a career. I was a child of the '60s. You know, "Turn on, tune in and drop out"? And I did. I lived with a rock & roll band because I like rock & roll music, and I tend to be friends with musicians and performers and artists. And when they got a record deal the company used my pictures. And then they hired me to take more pictures, and every time I would go and do that I'd meet more people who would hire me to do more photos. And I just kind of fell into this career of rock photography. It wasn't something I sought out — I really wasn't planning to have any career. I was pretty aimless as a kid. I really wasn't expecting much to happen. [Laughs] I couldn't really do a nine-to-five. Like, my parents were sort of trying to get me into a nine-to-five office career, which didn't appeal to me at all, especially the nine o'clock part. [Laughs] So that's why I was living with a rock band, and it just kind of turned out that that's what I was suited for and that's what I ended up doing.
In spite of myself I have a strong work ethic. I figured out what it is: It's because I really don't like to work. And until I finish something, I feel that I'm working because I live in my studio. And if I came home at night and the film wasn't developed, I'd have to do it the next day, and I had other things to do the next day. So I'd tend to go out and spend the night hanging out with friends and drinking and carrying on, and then I'd come home, and it's four or five o'clock in the morning, and I'd develop the film.
How do you decide where you're going to go shoot if you're not on assignment?
Oh, if I'm not on assignment, I go to see friends or bands that friends recommend, pretty much. I'm not really looking for the next big thing. I never was. Usually the bands that I like don't make it. [Laughs]
I still go out all the time, but I don't work as much as I used to. Photography has changed nowadays; it's much more accessible, so a lot more people are involved in photography. A lot more groups are doing their own work; a lot of groups are much more restrictive. Record companies got much more corporate, and they want to own the images.
And you have less access now.
Yeah, they control the access a lot more, and it's not as interesting for me. They came up with a three-song rule, where you're only allowed to take pictures for the first three songs of a group, and I was never into it in that sense of just being on assignment to take a picture of a guy onstage to show what color shirt he's wearing. To me, I was always more involved as a fan, as somebody who really likes the music, and I wanted to capture the feeling and the passion of what's going on. And a lot of times that doesn't happen in the first three songs. Usually in the last three songs, not the first ones. [Laughs] When all of the lights are on, and all of the effects that the band has brought with them are on, and the band is really putting it all out, and the audience is really pumped up, and you have much more excitement and much more feeling — that's what I'd rather photograph.

For many residents around the CSRA, pets are family members, but not all cats and dogs are as fortunate in having a place to call home.
Many of those who find themselves in an untoward situation or because of unforeseen circumstances are brought to the Aiken County Animal Shelter. For some animals, hair color often plays a role in the adoption process.
Friends of the Animal Shelter – or FOTAS – is doing its part to see that animals which are often passed over are getting a chance to find a new home with a special adoption campaign. Dubbed Back in Black, the adoption event at the Aiken County Animal Shelter is going on during the month of November.
Dogs can be adopted for $35 and cats for $20, and the price includes microchipping and shots, said Jennifer Miller, FOTAS president.
"FOTAS is partnering with the Aiken County Animal Shelter and is doing everything they can to get as many of these animals adopted (as possible)," said Miller. "We believe that if we keep doing things like this, eventually that stigma will go away. Our goal is that one day, black won't be passed by, and we'll eliminate the stigma."
Many black pets have an unwarranted stigma associated with the color of their coats, often being passed over or rejected because of unsubstantiated superstitions and deluded misconceptions.
A number of irresistible faces are ready for adoption, including Babe, who has a sweet personality, is mischievous and loving; Blackie is a mama's boy; and Bootsie, whose sister was adopted, is awaiting a loving home.
"These are very healthy animals that are ready to go to loving homes. I think shelter animals are the best animals to adopt because they know you're saving them, they appreciate it, so they're going to be your best friend for life," Miller said.
Several animals were brought in with companion animals or siblings, with different color coats who were adopted, and both animals possessed the same loving and friendly personalities, but were dismissed because they were black, said Miller.

Steve Clarke has confirmed Brown will be part of his squad for the trip to West London and he could be named on the bench at the tender age of 16 years and 54 days.
If the England U17 international does feature at some point, he will surpass Fulham's Matthew Briggs' previous record, set in 2007, by 11 days.
Albion have been struggling with injuries and had to seek permission to take Brown out of school to train with the squad this week.
The teenager has been part of Albion's academy set-up for the past three years, with Arsenal understood to be tracking his progress after he impressed for their U18 and U21 sides.
He is currently studying his GCSE exams but West Brom's recently acquired status as a Category One academy means they can take over young players' academic studies.
Brown would also be Albion's second youngest debutant if he plays, behind only Frank Hodgetts, who was 16 years and 26 days when he appeared against Notts Country in 1940 in a war-time contest.

Southern Village hotel proposal gets warm reception
A proposal to build a five-story hotel in Southern Village was greeted warmly Monday by residents and business owners of the mixed-use community during a public hearing Monday.
The Town Council also gave the project good marks after developer D.R. Bryan made his pitch for the project, which he believes will be a boon for restaurants and retail shops in Southern Village.
"I think it totally, economically supports Southern Village," said Councilwoman Laurin Easthom. "I see the value in that."
But even with all the kind words, Bryan said in an interview that he was still nervous about the project.
"I'm scared to death," Bryan said. "We appreciate the input because we end up with a better hotel, listening to the comments and trying to refine what we're doing."
The council had questions about the "walkability" of the project from the hotel to the Southern Village core, its accessibility to people with disabilities and its impact on traffic.
The council will take up the project next at its Oct. 28 meeting.
Bryan Properties wants to build a five-story, 112 room hotel on a 4.1-acres site at 1020-1100 U.S.15-501 between Market Street and Arlen Park Drive.
A future phase of the project would include an apartment building.
The redevelopment would involve the demolition of three homes on the site.
Parking for 90 vehicles would be provided at the hotel, although it would be surface parking instead of the underground parking proposed in a earlier version of the hotel.
Nearly all of the citizens who spoke at Monday's public hearing endorsed the project, agreeing with the developer that it would help businesses in Southern Village.
Barbara Crane, a resident of Southern Village who works at IPAS, a nongovernmental organization that works to end preventable death and disabilities due to unsafe abortions, said she opposed the earlier version of the project but now has a change of heart because of the new location adjacent to U.S. 15-501 and a rebounding economy.
The earlier proposal had the hotel on the site of an existing parking lot in the middle of Market Street.
"Since the difficult times in 2009 when I and others questioned whether there was really a market for another hotel, the environment has improved greatly," Crane said.
While most citizens attending the meeting were supportive, one citizen sent an email message to the council critical of the timing of the meeting, which conflicted with an open house at Culbreth Middle School.
"Please take into account the poor timing of this public hearing (and the amount of opposition to the project you will not be hearing because of this ill timing) as you form your opinion on the project," Joe Buonfiglio wrote. "This is not how to build consensus and harmony within a community looking to make critical decisions on how and where it should grow."
In addition to asking the council to rezone the property from Residential 2 and Residential 5-Conditional to Mixed-Use Village, Bryan Properties wants the council to eliminate and modify some buffer requirements.

Editor's note:Spring football is over and summer workouts are starting for Baker and Crestview's football teams. We recently looked at the Gator offense and defense to project how they will line up in the fall. Today, we turn our focus to Crestview and the Bulldog offense.
CRESTVIEW — Things are running more smoothly as Tim Hatten enters his second season as Crestview High School's head football coach.
The players have had a year in his offensive system and are able to play faster as they know what to expect. Hatten likes what he has seen from his team heading into year two, but he knows there is still a lot of work today.
Graduation hit the Bulldogs hard at wide receiver, but the starting quarterback seems set as Crestview starts summer workouts Monday.
Corey Armstrong, Rusty Moorer and Alex Maxwell will compete for the starting job at quarterback that, heading into the summer, has Armstrong, a rising junior, leading the pack.
Hatten said all three quarterbacks showed promise in the spring.
Armstrong started the last half of the 2013 and should be hard to unseat as the first-team signal caller.
"Corey did a good job (in the spring)," Hatten said. "Coming out of spring he is probably the number one guy. Rusty Moorer and Alex Maxwell are behind him kind of battling it out for number two.
"Come the summer time one of them could get a little better and one could get a little worse. Nothing is set in stone. We were pleased with them, but it's not where it needs to be just like the other positions aren't where they need to be."
Running back
A new face will line up at running back this fall. Jaylynne Robinson graduated and Emmanuel Reed left the team going to Sebastian River, where he reunited with former Bulldog coach Kevin Pettis.
A quartet of ball carriers; Devon Riley, Derian McGee, JaQuan Daniels and D.J. Stewart should give the Bulldogs plenty of firepower at running back.
McGee and Riley missed the spring jamboree with injuries, opening the door for Daniels and Stewart to play against Fort Walton Beach and Choctawhatchee.
"JaQuan Daniels and D.J. Stewart had a chance to run the football (in the spring game) and both of them did a real good job for us," Hatten said. "We found out they can do a lot of things. It helped us to have those two guys (McGee and Riley) out."
With Matt Gillis, Khalil Foster, Ronnie Baylark and Robinson all having graduated the Bulldogs have to reload at receiver.
Fortunately for Hatten the cupboard isn't empty.
Marquis McLain saw plenty of playing time as a sophomore and at 6-2 ½, 210 pounds, he returns for what could be a breakout season. Rising sophomore Andrew Adkins is another tall and athletic ball catcher that could present problems for opposing defenses.
Daniels, Riley and Blayze Spencer also will see time at receiver.
"We like the combinations that we've got coming back," Hatten said. "We lost some good players, but we replaced them with some good players too.
"We increased our height there."
Tight end
Matt French and Chase Henderson will get the first shot at tight end.
French, who has played the offensive line in the past, has impressed Hatten.
"Matt has a lot of experience in the offensive line," he said. "He blocks well and he runs well and he catches it well. He's a good athlete.
"We've also got Chase Henderson who did a good job for us lining up at tight end. He also does a good job at defensive end as well."
A third option at tight end would be Tyrone Baker.
Offensive line
Crestview should be experienced and deep on the offensive line.
Trevor Vaughn, Sebastian Lee, Hunter Walker, Spencer Singletary and Nate Gerard return up front. They'll be joined by a pair of impressive newcomers in Cole Lambert Justin Martel.
"We lost two guys, but we return five guys that at one time started for us and I think that's going to be the strength of our offense," Hatten said. "I thought they did a good job in the spring game controlling the line of scrimmage.
"We expect to get a lot out of them this year controlling the line of scrimmage and making sure our quarterback doesn't get pressured."
Seth Kootsouradis, Tyler Hancock and Danny Born are fighting it out for the kicking spot Hancock manned much of last season.
Gerard will be the long snapper on extra points and field goals. He could also handle the kick off duties.
The most important thing for Hatten though is finding a guy that can consistently put the ball through the uprights.
"We've got to be able to make an extra point," he said.

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
Time lapse video of spinning supercell in Wyoming is awe-inspiring, terrifying
Mother Nature is amazing...and also terrifying.
A group of storm chasers who call themselves "Basehunters" were following a storm in eastern Wyoming Sunday evening, near the town of Newcastle.
According to The Washington Post, this thunderstorm happened due to "low pressure forming downwind of the Rockies."
Basehunters kept their cameras rolling, but I bet even they weren't expecting the spinning supercell that developed.
The time lapse video they created looks so creepy and supernatural. I wonder if their footage will also eventually make its way into a blockbuster film?

And then there was little Danika, petting every patch of moss, examining every delicate flower, chasing every swallowtail butterfly. The draw of this place is the West Branch of the Ausable River and the crack in the earth it occupies, but, as Danika had discovered, that is only a lure to something more grand.
As we explored the gorge, I began to realize that these businesses, the ones I had previously snubbed, are providing a service whose benefits cannot be weighed. As someone who understands that human health, a clean environment and education are imperative to a functioning society, I can easily make a direct connection between those needs and the importance of everyone having access to the outdoors.
Drawing parents and their children into nature encourages people like Danika and Andrew to take a closer look at the living world around them, and the interpretive signs along the trails are the perfect complement to that. This kind of interaction inspires more trips and other healthy activities, and promotes learning that is sparked by a curiosity about the world, something that leads to an understanding of nature that can only develop into respect and compassion for all living things.
The walkways and handrails found in places like Ausable Chasm and High Falls Gorge also help those who aren't as able-bodied navigate the wilderness. People like myself can talk about the obvious benefits of protecting our forests, water and air, but talk pales in comparison to the sight of water raging through a gorge, a pitcher plant in full bloom or a snapping turtle laying eggs. These places are alive.
Danika is a little older now, and her ability to pronounce the word "butterfly" has improved dramatically. Andrew calls me for advice regarding other hikes to bring her on, ones without wooden viewing decks and stairways, and I am happy to oblige. I think I will always remember that first adventure, though. It taught me that these places, with their interpretive trail signs and fences, are providing a service to everyone who appreciates the outdoors.
It's funny to me, how learning works. I never would have thought that watching a little girl show her daddy a fern frond could help complete the picture of the world as I see it.

Hi guys. I will be taking a vacation in August of this year (end of month) to Amsterdam the Netherlands. I was wondering if anyone had any information of any mens knitting groups there? I have googled for the yarn shops and found several some close to where I will be staying please let me know.
I'm so excited, I just found out there's a knitting group forming nearby!! I hope I'm not the only man there!
I'm currently working on Mathew Gnagy's Carlito cardigan. It's going to be a challenge. I don't like simple, easy, quick to do projects. The more difficult the better. I will post some pics when I'm further along!
True, Christmas isn't exactly around the corner but this project might take some time to finish, so I thought I'd share it well in advance. And we don't want Mrs Santa to have to be pregnant longer than necessary, do we? Good thing her baby is born fully clothed with a hat to make it easier to give birth!
This is a fair isle pullover that I designed and knit from Jamieson & Smith's Shetland on US#4 needles. I used about 30 different colors throughout, but only two at a time per round. Neck and armholes were secured and cut in the traditional method. All the color changes really kept my interest, so I finished it in week!
It's like this. I have the worst cold I can remember. I took a swan dive into bed a week ago and feel like I'm just turning the corner. The Kimberly-Clark Corp sent me a thank you bouquet for helping their stock market prices soar due to my abundant use of tissues. In between sneezing and coughing, I have been knitting like crazy to keep my hands busy.
This is Marianne Kinzel's "Sun Ray" pattern from her "First Book of Modern Lace Knitting". I made it in 100% linen on US #4 needles.
The first half goes quickly, the last bit, not so much!
Hi boys!
Giving this another shot!
I designed and knit this pullover last month. Wool is Knit Picks "Palette", used US # 4 needles. Knit from bottom up...body and sleeves connected and finished with yoke. I love it when all the math works out right and the visualized design becomes reality!

How to Make Your Mobile Phone Number Appear As a Private Number
Want to hide your number from the business you're about to call, or don't want your friends knowing who's calling them? You can block your Caller ID information so that your number does not appear on the recipient's phone. You can do this by using a special prefix, contacting your carrier, or by using the features on your device. See Step 1 below to learn how.
1Use a caller ID blocking prefix. In many countries, you can enter a code before you dial a number and your phone number will be blocked from appearing on the recipient's caller ID. The code varies depending on your country and your service provider, and it is not possible to block in all countries. Enter the prefix, followed immediately by the number you are dialing. For example, if you are in the US and want to call (555)123-4567, you would enter *675551234567.
- North America - *67 or #31#
- Albania, Australia, Denmark, Greece, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden: #31#
- Argentina, Iceland, Switzerland, South Africa: *31*
- Germany: *31# or #31#
- Hong Kong: 133
- Japan: 184
- UK and Ireland: 141
- New Zealand: 0197 (Telecom) or *67 (Vodafone)
- Australia: 1831 or #31#
- India: *31# - Must be enabled by network.
- If your country is not listed, chances are you can use either *67 or #31#. Most GSM mobile networks work with #31#.[1]
2Contact your carrier. If you want all of your phone calls to always be blocked, you can contact your carrier and set up permanent Caller ID blocking. There is typically a charge for this, and the fees and terms will vary from carrier to carrier.
- Most pre-paid plans cannot enable permanent Caller ID blocking.
- India users need to enable Caller ID blocking before they can use the blocking prefix.
- Some people have Anonymous Call Rejection enabled, which means your call will not be able to be completed unless you call from an unblocked number.
- If you want to make an unblocked call after setting up a block on all your outgoing calls, you will need to enter the unblocking prefix before the phone number. Some of these include:
- Australia: 1832
- Ireland: 142
- North America: *82
- New Zealand: 0196 (Telecom) or *82 (Vodafone)
- Hong Kong: 1357
- Japan: 186
- Most GSM Networks: *31#
3Hide your number through your device's settings. Many phones allow you to block your Caller ID information by changing the phone's settings. If your phone does not have the option to do this, then it is not allowed by your carrier, and you will have to try one of the previous steps.
- iPhone - Open the Settings app, tap Phone, tap Show My Caller ID, and then toggle the slider to ON.[2]
- Android 4.0 and earlier - Open the Settings app, tap Call, tap "Additional settings", tap Caller ID, and then tap "Hide number".
- Android 4.1 and later - Open the Phone app, tap the Menu button, tap "Call settings", tap Caller ID, tap "Hide number".[3]
- Windows Phone 8 - Open the Phone app, tap the More button (...), tap "settings", tap the box under "Show my caller ID to", tap "no one" or "my contacts".[4]
- BlackBerry - Press the Menu key, click Options, click General Options, find the Restrict My Identity field, set it to Always.[5]
We could really use your help!
- If you have Caller ID blocking enabled for your service and don't want to enter the unblocking prefix each time you call someone you know, add the unblocking prefix to each of the numbers in your contact list. The prefix will be dialed automatically when you select the person to call.

Maj. Harry Schmidt is charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter and eight counts of assault. He is also charged with failing to exercise appropriate flight discipline and not complying with the rules of engagement in the Afghanistan area of operations. The charges were filed under Articles 119, 128, and 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, respectively.
Maj. William Umbach also is charged under the same Articles, including the allegation that as flight commander he negligently failed to exercise appropriate flight command and control and to ensure compliance with the rules of engagement.

Gear Review
Nicely made. Expensive.
I ordered these after concluding that overshoes were not really doing the trick.These are expensive for the what they are - socks. The bottom of the sock is so thin, I have to be careful not to rip them putting them on.They do seem to be blocking the wind which is what they are designed to do. Wearing them on top of some rather thick Assos socks, in SIDI shoes with PI cyclone toe covers, they have been keeping my feet warm from temps down to 35F so far.My one major complaint is that the tube part of the sock as it transitions to my leg, is really loose I wish it were a lot tighter to make a windproof seal.These are basically a made in italy gore product with both Gore logos & a Castelli logo stamped on it.

What Bush was told behind closed doors
Discover the biggest lie of the last 30 years...
...revealed by the investment newsletter rated No. 1 over a five-year period by the independent Hulbert Financial Digest
What Bush was told behind closed doors
Discover the biggest lie of the last 30 years...
...revealed by the investment newsletter rated No. 1 over a five-year period by the independent Hulbert Financial Digest
Dear Reader,
Those Saudi Arabians, you've gotta love 'em. First, 15 out of 19 hijackers on Sept. 11 were Saudis, but Saudi Arabia had NOTHING to do with it, or so we're told. They love us!
Now Saudi Arabia is about to drop another bombshell on us, and this one will make Sept. 11 look like small potatoes.
I never thought I'd say anything could make Sept. 11 look like small potatoes. But this does, at least when it comes to the economy.
Sept. 11 shut the markets down for a few days. When the next crisis hits, you'll wish the markets would shut down so you wouldn't have to watch the carnage.
What Bush learned behind closed doors
If some well-informed experts are right, Saudi Arabia's oil reserves are a fraction of what they've been telling us.
Why does it matter? Because everyone has believed for decades that Saudi Arabia's oil supply is virtually unlimited. That's what the Saudis have said over and over again for more than 30 years.
If an oil shortage threatens to cause a recession or a market crash, we can count on the Saudis to come through. So people think.
But in a private briefing, one of America's top oil experts told President George Bush exactly what I'm telling you. In fact, this same man was a consultant to the secretive task force that drew up Vice President Dick Cheney's energy plan in 2001.
In other words, the guy is a heavy hitter who knows the energy business.
He warned Bush that the Saudis don't have anything near the oil reserves they claim. They already pump less oil than most "experts" think, and here's the real kicker...
Saudi oil production is about to drop sharply. And it will keep going down for good.
Other experts have analyzed the numbers and come to the same conclusions. If the charges are true — and I believe they are — we could be facing...
Oil at $150 per barrel and gasoline at $6 a gallon or more
The oil is running out. It's as simple as that.
But that's not what you hear from so-called experts. If you ask government officials, our intelligence agencies and even powerful Wall Street financiers, they tell you the opposite.
They say the Saudis could quickly double their oil production from the current level if they wanted to. And given a few years, they think the Saudis could produce four times as much oil as they do now.
This is like the Iraqi WMDs all over again
The intelligence agencies and the conventional "experts" are dead wrong. The oil isn't there...
It goes on for a lot longer, but you get the idea.

Child Passenger Safety
Buckle Up Every Age, Every Seat, Every Trip
Motor vehicle injuries are a leading cause of death among children in the United States. But many of these deaths can be prevented. Buckling children in age- and size-appropriate car seats, booster seats, and seat belts reduces serious and fatal injuries by more than half.

Apple's Top-Secret Maps Project
The foibles of Apple's maps app are both alarming and a lot of fun to write about, with the latest mishap directing drivers across an airport runway in Fairbanks, Alaska in order to reach the terminal. It's exactly the sort of press coverage Apple doesn't want right now, in a season when a new iPhone and a radically transformed operating system are rolling out.
In fact, were it not for the Apple Maps debacle, things would have been going seamlessly well for the last several months. Its decision to do away with Google maps on its hardware was largely seen either as hubris or as something of a kindergartener's sandbox tantrum, but after Maps hit consumer devices and became a global joke (coining phrases like the "blue dot of directional death"), Apple went into full damage-control mode. Two executives lost their jobs, Apple CEO Tim Cook penned an apology and mea culpa, and Apple started buying up map startups in an attempt to fix the problems.
These measures clearly haven't gone far enough, as Apple continues to use Google Maps for its cloud-based services like Find My iPhone, which we assume they'd like to stop doing as soon as is humanly possible. Apple is keeping its cards close to its chest, but it looks as though something radical is coming down the pipe. Last week Apple posted a new job listing for a Maps Designer, which the Cupertino company hopes to have working on an cryptically "secret project."
Of course, there's a fair to middling chance that while its job offer is for a Maps position, Apple might have something bigger in mind. Apple's job summary states that it's looking for someone to work on an "exciting new system" involving "an advanced web platform upon which many of Apple's future services will be based" that has "the potential to change the world".
Apple's products have been changing the world for years now, so this may not be hubris, but when it comes to its maps, we're certainly not alone in wanting to see Apple get its act together.
iOS 7 – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Change can either be good, bad, or neutral, but if you're used to something, change is almost always a little confusing. Sure, it doesn't take long not to mind the lack of skeuomorphism in Apple's iOS 7 design, but there are quite a few things about the new operating system that can be a little frustrating if you don't know how to navigate them. Here are a few, along with their fixes:
- Editing Safari's "favorites:" When you open up Safari, you'll probably see sponsored icons for Yahoo, Disney, and ESPN. To remove those, tap the bookmarks icon, then tap "favorites," then "edit," then the minus sign next to the link. To add your own, navigate to the desired site, tap "share" next to the url, then "bookmark," then "location: favorites," then "save."
- Closing apps: With iOS 6, pressing the home button twice would bring up all your open apps, after which you would press and hold until the minus sign appeared on the top left of the app icon. With iOS 7, you still press the home button twice, but once there you'll need to swipe up on any open app you want to close.
- Control Center: You can now access your device's control center merely by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately this still works while you're, say, playing Temple Run, and you probably don't want your volume controls when you're telling your character to jump. To disable this, go to Settings, then Control Center, then turn off "Access with Apps."
- Battery life: iOS 7 is a power hog, but it doesn't have to be. The default allows mobile apps to refresh their content while they're not on screen. If battery drain is a problem, go to Settings, then Background App Refresh, and toggle the switch to "off." You will probably want to do this on an app-by-app basis, as GPS apps aren't terribly useful if they're not updating their content. Additionally, turning off the AirDrop feature (by swiping up to the Control Center and toggling it off) can disable it.
If you've found any minor annoyances with iOS 7 (and how to fix them), let us know in the comments!
What's New With the iPhone 5S and 5C
Apple held its annual iPhone event last Tuesday, and predictably, a fair few blogs and commenters complained that the new devices don't really do anything revolutionary. We're perplexed by such complaints, for two reasons: 1) the iPhone has been a wildly successful product with good reason, so demands that Apple make it something fundamentally different than what it is don't seem to make much sense, and 2) Apple did do something revolutionary. Two things, in fact: the fingerprint sensor and an entirely new phone model.
Here are a few things you need to know about the announcement:
- Apple is taking user customization seriously: While the cheaper iPhone 5C was only a rumor prior to last Tuesday, it's now a reality. And while many believe that its purpose is strictly to compete with Android in the low-cost hardware market, with its wide variety of new colors and cases, Apple is encouraging user customization like never before.
- The fingerprint sensor is more than a gimmick: Much like Android's Face Unlock, in its early stages the iPhone 5S's fingerprint sensor might be seen as a party trick rather than as a useful security tool. Concerns have also been raised about secret government databases of iPhone user fingerprints, as well as the problems that occur when fingers have been shriveled by the cold or the shower. We'll have to wait and see how the technology develops, but using your fingerprint instead of a code to access your phone is just the start. When working in tandem with iBeacon, Apple's answer to Near-Field Communication technology, it might not be long before we're able to make secure purchases in stores without ever having to wait in line at a cash register. (Unfortunately mobile app developers can't access the fingerprint function…yet.)
- The improvements are awesome: We'll be discussing some of these in the coming weeks, but suffice it to say that the new motion sensor, 64-bit processing, and new camera (with slow-motion and low-light capabilities) are all unassailably cool.
iOS App Feedie Takes Lemons and Makes Lemonade
If you're of a certain age, there are a few things about the digital revolution that you could probably do without. "Selfies," for example – or fake selfies, or Geraldo selfies, or Korean selfies, or selfies-on-a-stick – are probably high on your list, along with the accompanying "duck face" and misspelled captions.
Perhaps not quite as annoying as that (but still pretty annoying) is the incessant stream of other people's food that we're subjected to in our social media news feeds. We're not entirely sure where, when, or why filtered photographs of somebody else's steaming plate of bibimbap became a thing, but by now the trend seems to be more or less unstoppable.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, seems to be the motto behind a new free mobile app called Feedie, which hopes to take all those foodie pics and turn them into charity. It works like this: if you take a photo of a particular dish at any of the forty-seven participating restaurants and then post it to your social network of choice (Google+, Facebook, Twitter, or FourSquare), that restaurant will donate money to The Lunchbox Fund, a nonprofit organization that nobly provides food security to impoverished children. And it's not an insignificant amount of money, either: one uploaded Feedie pic will trigger a donation that will cover one meal for one child.
Of course, we're not just writing about Feedie because it's a cool app, which it very definitely is. We're writing about it because of its innovative approach to advertising and philanthropy. Feedie takes the pre-existing phenomenon of food photography and channels it into the very virtuous goal of feeding hungry children, while providing free advertising to restaurants that choose to participate in the program. As of this writing, a total of 326 meals have been provided to hungry children, and that's a full month before its official debut at the Lunchbox Fund's annual gala on October 9th.
We're naturally delighted whenever a mobile app does something new, especially when that something is as innovative as Feedie. Now if only someone could think up a way to monetize selfies, we could cure all the ills of the world.
Sassy Upgrades in Store for Siri
Last January Apple went on the hunt for a writer to make Siri a more engaging conversationalist, and if Tumblr tags like "Sassy Siri" are any indication, that writer has been doing his job pretty well. But if you're really looking to get a rise out of her, try asking her about Google Glass.
To get Google Glass's attention, the user speaks the phrase "Okay Glass". Saying that to Siri will elicit a range of responses, each a bit sassier than the next. Her responses include "I think the Glass is half empty," "I'm not Glass, and I'm fine with that," "Stop trying to strap me to your forehead, it won't work," and "Just so you know, I don't do anything when you blink at me."
Apparently there are more and sassier comebacks in store for the iOS 7 version of Siri that's due out next month if rumors are to be believed, but Siri's sass is indicative of an underlying and ongoing discussion over the future of wearable tech. While it's a fantastic piece of technology, Google Glass is suffering backlashes from privacy advocates and fashionistas alike as it tries to gain ground in the marketplace. The fact that athletes and others have been wearing their tech on their arms and wrists seems to make Apple's push for the iWatch something of a safer bet.
Still, Siri is maturing, and while I've been using "she" and "her" thus far in this post, the iOS 7 version of Siri will come with the option of a male voice. (Strangely, this option has been available for foreign languages for a while.) Siri will also be undergoing some cosmetic changes in iOS 7, including a translucent skin, and initial reports also seem to suggest that she pulls up her results a lot faster than she did in previous OS iterations.
Of course, we're still a long way away from the flirtatious computer voice in Star Trek, but the fact that Apple's giving Siri the love she needs is good news for iPhone users everywhere.

A reliable and sometimes explosive scorer, Marshall has been Penn State's leading three-point shooter the last two seasons and enters his senior campaign with 108 threes on his career to rank 12th all-time at Penn State. An honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection and team captain last year, he will bring 857 career points, 46 double-digit scoring games and nine outings of 20-plus points into his final season as he looks to become the Lions' 30th 1,000-point scorer and finish among the top 10 three-point shooters in program history. He will be among the top returning scorers in the Big Ten, having ranked sixth last year (15.3), and has led the Lions in steals the last two seasons, finishing seventh (1.5 spg) in the Big Ten last year. A long armed, slick passing, crafty scorer and a good penetrator and finisher, Marshall has also established himself as a valuable team leader and will be part of the nucleus of one of the best backcourts in the Big Ten.

Controversial help scheme a success
Posted: September 28, 2012|
AN EX-OFFENDERS' project in St Austell is celebrating "huge improvements" since it launched four years ago.
An open day on Friday, showcased the work of FreshStart and residents' achievements.
"It was quite controversial in the early days," said Barbara Smith, from the project. "But now, four years after we opened, there is a huge improvement."
She said that currently 86 per cent of residents are in education, training or employment. And since the beginning of 2012, more than 67 per cent have moved into independent living.
Managed by Chapter 1, FreshStart is a multi-agency project to support people identified as prolific offenders in the community.
Residents go to FreshStart when they have completed custodial sentences, or are part of the drug intervention programme.
All have a link to Cornwall and are committed to addressing their use of drugs and/or alcohol which has contributed to their crimes.
"It's not been an easy ride. The project was new. No one else had ever done it before, but we had experience of working with many people with similar needs," said Chapter 1's operations director, Rachel Sanders.
The open day was attended by St Austell mayor, John Keast, as well as police probation representatives and Chapter 1 chief executive, Geoff Hawkins.
