Chicken Trying To Cross The Road Impedes Traffic
By editor
Copyright 2014 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.
Good morning, I'm David Greene. On Monday, August 11th, at 5:45 p.m., Oregon police received a report of a serious traffic hazard. A chicken was trying to cross a highway. This is actually not a prank. That's what the man who called in the incident told the operator. Responding officers found no traffic problems. No one was hurt. Unfortunately, though, they could not locate the chicken. So we still don't know if the chicken really was just trying to get to the other side. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.

Obama on Boehner: 'He can't control his caucus'
President Obama on Tuesday defended his efforts to compromise, and said the problem lies in House Speaker John Boehner's inability to control Republican House members.
"The problem that we've got is that for Speaker Boehner, for example, him negotiating with me isn't necessarily good for the extreme faction in his caucus. It weakens him," Obama said in an interview with New York's WABC. "So there've been repeated situations where we have agreements, then he goes back and it turns out that he can't control his caucus."
"The challenge here is: Can you deliver on agreements that are made? Are you able to come up with sensible, bipartisan compromises and deliver on them?" the president asked, suggesting he's been able to do it, while Boehner has struggled. "One thing that I've shown is that if I say I'm prepared to compromise on something, I can deliver votes and we can get it done," he said.

WSJ Opinion: How Government is Making Solar Billionaires
By JLP | October 22, 2013
From today's WSJ (How Government is Making Solar Billionaires):
Welcome to SolarCity, SCTY -0.59% the latest booming green company that has never recorded a profit. The startup's stock price has soared by 600% since its IPO last December—it closed on Monday at $57 a share—and spiked after the company announced a couple of weeks ago that it expects business to grow by 70% to 90% next year. Yet the company, based in San Mateo, Calif., and specializing in deploying rooftop panels, ended the first six months this year $61 million in the red.
Ordinarily, that sort of number might disconcert investors. But SolarCity's business model is powered by government subsidies, which also fueled the 500% stock run-up and turn to profit this year of the electric-car maker Tesla. Steering both companies is Elon Musk.
In addition to being the chairman of SolarCity and CEO of Tesla, Mr. Musk is the largest shareholder in both companies. The increase in their stock prices has raised his net worth by more than $5 billion over the past year.
Isn't that lovely?
Yes, I am aware that the government also helps other industries. The point is the government really should get out of all business creation and promotion. The government should not be deciding who is or is not successful. If your idea cannot succeed in the market place on its own, then you need a different idea. Mr. Musk has the U.S. taxpayers to thank for his wealth.
Discuss among yourselves while I go paint the master bedroom…

Peanuts compared to the defense industry. At least one day we will be getting most of our electricity from rooftop solar panels. Defense industry spending pretty much all goes down the tubes although it is a good jobs program. Why is it no one ever wants the defense industry to compete on its own?
Retiredat40 Says:
October 22nd, 2013 at 2:40 pm
Also, most of Musk's wealth increase is coming from IPO mania. That's in part because of subsidies, but it is the market deciding what his net worth ought to be. The market has decided that solar panels are the wave of the future. His company is losing money even with subsidies. So clearly, the market is voting for the concept and not just counting on subsidies. Mostly, they are betting on Musk.
Musk got his wealth from PayPal. He has the market to thank for his increased net worth with some help from the govt. But obviously, people think the concept is valid or they wouldn't be buying.

"…Customers, however, must sign a contract agreeing to cede "any and all tax credits, incentives, renewable energy credits, green tags, carbon offset credits, utility rebates or any other non-power attributes of the system" to SolarCity…."
Wow, just wow.
What's next — Fertility clinics requiring patrons to sign over all their future child-tax credits? lol.

That's nothing. In Germany prices on solar are coming down so much that roughly 5% of electricity is now being generated using solar. This has the utilities sweating and they are lobbying to charge people for the electricity they produce themselves claiming that they are "freeriders." This will be the future of solar in the USA where corporate power reigns supreme.
When solar gets to the point that people can simply unplug, you'll pay a subsidy to the utilities for their lost profit as well as pay the solar panel producer for the electricity you generate using their panels which will probably be leased at that point. They will get you coming and going as always.

I think we should cut any government spending to the bone that props up industry. The defense industry should be scrutinized and watched like a hawk. The mixing of government and business paves the way for all sorts of funny business.
I don't think government should be involved in solar energy. If the business cannot survive on its own, then it's a bad business. The ONLY reason SolarCity is doing well is because of government subsidies…
Retiredat40 Says:
October 23rd, 2013 at 1:22 pm
Solar City isn't doing well. It's stock is. That is not so much because of the subsidies as the significant future prospects of solar.
The government should definitely subsidize things that benefit the population such as drug research and even energy. The energy subsidies are excessive at this point as the oil and coal industries can stand on their own. Solar not so much. So I agree with subsidies for solar. Those subsidies are much less than for coal which Republicans aren't upset about at all.
Musk is getting rich because of the market though. It's kind of amusing to see Republicans getting upset because someone is being rewarded by the market because that's the way they tell us it ought to be.
The main reason they are upset is because they don't believe electricity should come from anything but coal because that represents progress past 1955 and solar is seen as a Democratic agenda.

I owned some SCTY and sold after 150% gain inside a few months I ran! It is amazing to me that TSLA and SCTY seems to be trading without any regard to fundamentals. It is like 1999 again
Valkyrie Frost Says:
November 4th, 2013 at 2:44 pm
The advent of IRA, 401K's and numerous other retirement saving plans that send money into investment funds that in turn must invest those funds in the stock market are fueling stocks like TSLA and SCTY. Like, 1999, it's an artificially inflated market well outside the true value fundamentals. Invest with caution.
Valkyrie Frost Says:
November 4th, 2013 at 2:51 pm
BTW, I love solar. However, I also believe the govt should not subsidize the industry, except – perhaps – on the research side.

To my fabulous BW blog which will journal the life and times of one Maxwell McCurdy.
From a young age I knew that I wanted to be an archeologist and dig up dinosaurs but then I learned that bones were not located everywhere and digging gave my hands blisters. So I changed my life dream to becoming a vet, which lasted until I passed out after seeing an operation involving a dog's intestines... It wasn't until I performed in Oliver in tenth grade that I discovered my love of theatre and decided to make that my career, much to my mother's dismay and fears that I will become a starving artist/homeless.
However, since coming to BW I have discovered wonderful opportunities and the skills to become successful. My mother no longer bemoans my fate...
My senior year is going to be extremely exciting. Letmetellya. I'm directing a one-act (something many undergrad colleges don't allow students to do), I just finished costume designing (something else not many schools do) for the New Play Festival at BW which includes many plays written by students (yet another thing many colleges/universities don't have. Isn't BW GREAT?!), I'm also performing in one of those plays, and I'm preparing my senior recital for the end of my college career. It's going to be an exhilarating year and I'm thrilled to have you (my lovely readers) along for the awesome journey. And while this ride may not be long, since I'll be graduating in May, I can assure you it's going to be epic, fun, and wildly informational!

IDignity returns to DeLand Thursday, Nov. 21 — Volunteers needed; clients welcome
By Pat Andrews
posted Nov 12, 2013 - 11:18:49am
IDignity volunteers will be back at work 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21, at First Presbyterian Church of DeLand, 724 N. Woodland Blvd. They invite additional volunteers and clients, church member and IDignity volunteer Kathy Ambachtsheer said.
IDignity helps people whose circumstances robbed them of identification, and that identification — a driver's license, Social Security card, birth certificate, military veteran's documentation or other — is what can help them get medical services, housing, Food stamps, and other help. Without identification, people simply don't exist, as far as most governmental and social agencies are concerned. Identification restores hope and dignity to people.
The last IDignity event Sept. 23 was also held at First Presbyterian Church. At that time, around 150 people got assistance getting identification.
Clients who need assistance should bring any documents and proof of residency they may have with them to the Thursday, Nov. 21, event. Assistance is first-come, first-served, and intake will end when maximum capacity is reached, so come a bit early.
For more information about volunteering or service, call 386-279-0029.

FIRST PITCH - What You Need to Know
The Mizzou baseball team, in its inaugural season as members of the Southeastern Conference, has qualified as the No. 12 seed in the SEC Tournament. The Tigers open action against defending champion, fifth-seeded Mississippi State on Tuesday following the 4:30 p.m. game between eight-seed Florida and nine-seed Texas A&M. The game will likely get underway around 8 p.m.
Hoover In the First Year Mizzou, picked to finish last in the SEC in preseason poll by the league's coaches, has qualified for the SEC Tournament as the No. 12 overall seed in its first year as a member of the conference. The Tigers put together a 10-20 mark in SEC play and actually have more SEC wins (10) than non-conference wins (eight) this season.
Tigers in League Tournaments Obviously, 2013 marks the first time that Mizzou will play in the SEC Tournament, but over the years Mizzou built a reputation as a great team in postseason conference tournaments. In fact, Mizzou has qualified for its league tournament every year since 2002 and has a very impressive 9-3 mark in its last three conference tournaments (of course all three came in the Big 12). The 9-3 mark includes two runs to the Big 12 Championship game, including the league title in its final year as a Big 12 member last season. In all, the Tigers are 25-23 in conference tournament games under head coach Tim Jamieson.
Rob Z Gets the Ball Tuesday For head coach Tim Jamieson, the decision on a starter for Tuesday's game was a simple choice. After Mizzou clinched a spot in the tournament on Friday, it got the chance to rest ace Rob Zastryzny. This season, Zastryzny is a modest 2-9, but owns a 3.64 ERA in a team-high 81.2 innings pitched while striking out 75 batters against just 22 walks. He has 29 Friday night starts in his career.
But the big thing for Zastryzny is his ability to perform at his best when the lights are the brightest. He has pitched in two Big 12 Championship games, starting one, and he has pitched in five postseason games with Mizzou holding a 4-1 record in those games. The only Mizzou loss in a postseason game in which Zastryzny pitched was an 8-7 loss to Texas A&M in the 2011 Big 12 Championship Game. In his career, Zastryzny has a 3.41 ERA in 29.0 innings pitched while fanning 18 against just six walks. On full rest in the postseason, Zastrzyny has a 1.71 ERA in 21.1 innings with 15 strikeouts and four walks.
Last Time Out
Mizzou earned its third SEC series win of the season after taking two of three games from Kentucky over the weekend at Taylor Stadium. Mizzou won, 4-2, Thursday night as the pitching staff allowed just five Wildcat hits as sophomore Brett Graves earned his second win of the season. On Friday, Mizzou needed either a win or a Tennessee loss to clinch a spot in Hoover and as it turned out, it got both. Mizzou rallied from down 3-0 to win, 4-3. Keaton Steele hit a go-ahead solo homer in the bottom of the eighth inning before coming in to earn the save in the ninth, his second in as many days. His heroics backed a great start by Eric Anderson, who went a career-high 7.1 innings, allowing just three earned runs on the one-year anniversary of Tommy John surgery. Mizzou then lost 5-1 on Saturday after electing to throw Rob Zastryzny on Tuesday instead of Saturday.
Series History
Mizzou and Mississippi State have met just once and that meeting was a 10-5 decision in favor of the Bulldogs in the 2003 Starkville Regional. The Bulldogs eliminated the Tigers from the NCAA Tournament with that win. Former Tiger Ryan Rallo drove in three runs for the Tigers that day and current big leaguer Ian Kinsler scored a pair of runs in the loss. Nick Admire made the start for the Tigers and went 4.2 innings, allowing four runs (only two earned) while striking out five.
A Cohen Connection
Heading into Tuesday's game, it is not hard to overlook the fact that current Mississippi State head coach John Cohen was an assistant coach at Mizzou, spending seven seasons in the Tiger dugout. He coached under legendary Mizzou coach Gene McArtor (who is being honored as Mizzou's SEC Legend this week) from 1992 and under Tim Jamieson from 1995-97 as the team's primary hitting coach and recruiting coordinator. In 1996, Jamieson and Cohen led Mizzou to a 39-19 overall record while taking the team to its first NCAA Regional in five years. In all, Cohen coached in 332 games at Mizzou, winning 186 of those games from 1992-97.
Conference Tournament Stats
In each of the last two seasons, Mizzou has advanced to the Big 12 Championship game, winning in 2012. The deep runs in the tournaments mean that Mizzou has plenty of players with experience in conference tournaments. Notable stat lines are listed below.
Notables Batters
Dane Opel (seven games) - 7-for-27 (.259), 8 runs, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 6 RBI
Brannon Champagne (five games) - 7-for-22 (.318), 4 runs, 2 RBI, 1 walk
Dillon Everett (five games) - 3-for-16 (.188), 2 runs, 2 RBI, 1 walk
Scott Sommerfeld (four games) - 5-for-14 (.357), 2 RBI, 1 walk
Michael McGraw (four games) - 7-for-15 (.467), 3 runs, 2 doubles, 4 RBI
Notable Pitchers
Eric Anderson (1-0) - 2 starts, 3.60 ERA in 10.0 IP, 13 hits, 4 earned runs, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts
Rob Zastryzny (1-0) - 4 games/3 starts, 23.0 IP, 23 hits, 9 earned runs, four walks, 13 strikeouts
John Miles (0-0) - 1 game, 3.38 ERA, 2.2 IP, 1 hit, 1 earned runs, four walks, two strikeouts
Junior lefty Rob Zastryzny struck out four Alabama batters in his last start on May 12 in a 7-6 defeat, moving his career total to 221 over his three years. That puts him just two strikeouts shy of cracking the all-time top-10 in career strikeouts in Mizzou history. In his career, Zastryzny has started 29 Friday night games and has been the Tigers' Friday night guy at times since his freshman year. Once he cracks the top 10, his name will stand alongside such Tiger greats as Max Scherzer, Aaron Crow, Kyle Gibson and Nick Tepesch.
Opel Leads Nation in Outfield Assists
Senior outfielder Dane Opel is turning heads with spectacular defensive plays this season. He has landed at #1 on ESPN's Sportscenter Top Plays for robbing a home run from Texas A&M's Troy Stein, but it has been his arm that has been drawing most of the attention from opposing coaches as he leads the nation with 14 outfield assists. Opel threw out another runner at the plate against Kentucky last Saturday. Seven of his 14 outfield assists have gunned runners at the plate this season. Below is the list of the top five nationally.
Opel - 14
Jeff Kremer (Duke) - 9
Seth Miller (Florida State) - 9
Michael Bozarth (SLU) - 9
Trever Allen (Arizona State) - 8
Senior outfielder Scott Sommerfeld came into the season as the Tigers' top returning hitter (.312) from a season ago, but struggled early. But as of late, Sommerfeld has energized the Tiger lineup. In fact, in games that Sommerfeld has started in left field this season, the Tigers are 7-3 overall. After sitting much of the season, Sommerfeld was put back into the lineup at Alabama on Friday night after the Tigers fell behind 9-0. He sparked a seven-run rally that night and ever since he has been on a tear, hitting .350 (7-for-20) with six runs, a homer and two RBI in the last six games. He also has two walks and an OBP of .409 in the last six games as he has been a steady force for the Tigers.
Anderson Back on the Bump
Mizzou righty Eric Anderson made his fourth start of the season last Friday against Kentucky and it was a very notable start for the redshirt junior. In fact, the righty tossed a career-high 7.1 innings, scattering just four hits and allowing just three runs in Mizzou's SEC Tournament clinching win. The date, May 17, was of significant importance to the Tiger hurler as it was the one-year anniversary of his Tommy John surgery and the three-year anniversary of his labrum surgery in his freshman season.
Anderson was offered six figures to sign out of high school and even turned down Division I offers to be a quarterback to pitch at Mizzou. Injuries have slowed him during his career at Mizzou, but when healthy he has been one of the Tigers' top arms. In fact, he sparked a 2011 turn-around in which Mizzou won six of his seven starts while advancing all the way to the Big 12 Championship game that year.
Seniors Closing in On Some Milestones
As the three Tiger senior's careers wind down, they are close to a few notable milestones. Dane Opel sits one triple shy of cracking the all-time top-10 at Mizzou for career triples as he has nine heading into the SEC Tournament. Brannon Champagne, with 30 career stolen bases, is also just three back of seventh all-time at Mizzou in that category.
Opel Lands on Sportscenter Top Plays
Senior outfielder Dane Opel did something that most college players dream of when he landed at #1 on ESPN's Sportscenter Top Plays after robbing Texas A&M's Troy Stein of a homer. He leaped over the wall in right field and ended up halfway over the wall while bringing the ball back. The video has since went viral with nearly 7,000 views on YouTube and landing on the front page of Yahoo.com.
Pitching Has Been Great Lately
Despite Mizzou's struggles this season, the blame cannot be put on the Tiger pitching staff. In fact, over the last 16 games, the Tigers' ERA is a very good 2.98 while in the last 15 SEC games, the Tiger pitching staff boasts a combined ERA of 2.64. In those 15 league games, Mizzou has allowed just 39 earned runs over 133.0 innings pitched. It is no surprise that Rob Zastryzny, Keaton Steele and Brett Graves have been the Tigers' best pitchers in that span - below is a look at their numbers.
Graves (2-0) - 1.37 ERA in five starts - 26.1 IP, 4 ER, 10 Ks, 26 hits
Steele (2-1, 2 SV) - 1.54 ERA in six appearances (one start) - 23.1 IP, 4 ER, 16 Ks, 20 hits
Zastryzny (0-2) - 2.05 ERA in three starts - 22.0 IP, 22 hits, 5 earned runs, 22 Ks, four walks
Mizzou freshman Josh Lester has started at second base in each of the last six games and he has now played every infield position for the Tigers in his first year in black and gold. He has seen the most time at first base, playing in 22 games there, but he started six games at short while Dillon Everett and Shane Segovia were recovering from injuries and he has played at third base seven times as well. Lester has been a key contributor for Mizzou with 25 RBI and two homers and a team-high nine doubles. Not only that, but he has just four errors on the season, a team-low among Tiger infielders and leads the Tiger infielders with a .986 fielding percentage.
Steele Continues to Do It All
It is hard to argue against the fact that redshirt sophomore Keaton Steele has been the Tigers' most valuable player this season. He has been one of the top pitchers (5-3, 3.18 ERA in 56.2 IP) and top hitters (.281, 22 runs, 24 RBI, five homers) as he is arguably one of the top two-way players in the SEC. Below are some notables on Steele.
First player to earn SEC Player of the Week and SEC Pitcher of the Week in the same season since Tennessee's Scott Schroeffel in 1996.
First Tiger to hit in the three-hole while starting a game on the mound since May 12, 2001 (Ryan Stegall).
Leads the Tigers in pitching wins (five) and homers (five).
Is the only player in a power conference to lead his team in homers/win while batting in the 3/4 spots.
Tossed his first career complete game in a win vs. Auburn and homered in the second game of that DH.
Went 3-for-4 with three RBI and pitched the final 4.1 innings at Alabama to earn the win.
Homered in the eighth inning and earned the save in the Tigers SEC Tourney-clinching win vs. UK.
Although the Tigers have a losing record at this point of the season, Mizzou has been in nearly every game and the numbers prove it. In fact, Mizzou has lost 19 games by three of fewer runs, including nine by just two runs and seven by a single tally. Both of Mizzou's losses at Alabama were by two or fewer runs. In fact, 10 of the Tigers' last 11 losses have all been by three or fewer runs.
Hit Me Baby, One More Time
Heading into the week, the Tigers rank second in the SEC in hit batsmen as they have been hit 77 times this year. Kentucky leads the league with 86 this season, but has played five more games than Mizzou. In SEC play, Mizzou ranks second in hit batters to only Kentucky with 41; Kentucky has 43.
Mizzou Still Limiting Doubles, Walks
Heading into the weekend, Mizzou is still doing a nice job of limiting its opponents' doubles and walks as Mizzou has allowed the fifth-fewest doubles (61) and the fourth-fewest walks (147). In fact, in SEC play, Mizzou has allowed just 34 doubles in 30 games, the fourth-best mark in the conference, an impressive mark.
Walsh is the Tigers' Ironman
It is no secret that as the Tigers' top lefty bullpen arm, Jake Walsh has been one of the Tigers' most used arms. In fact, Walsh has appeared in a team high 29 of 49 games this season and has been trotted out in 24 of the last 35 games. In the Sunday game vs. Florida, Walsh pitched a career-long 3.2 innings, allowing just two hits and one earned run (a solo, wind-aided homer off the top of the wall). He earned the win in the game and got the Tigers out of a huge jam in the fourth. He earned his second win of the season in the Tigers' SEC Tournament-clinching win vs. Kentucky last Friday.
Triple The Fun
In Mizzou's 8-2 win over Florida on April 21, the Tigers tallied three triples - Logan Pearson, Dane Opel and Dillon Everett each had a triple in the win. It marked the first time that Mizzou had three triples in a game since May 13, 2011, in an 11-1 win over Texas Tech. The three triples in that game are the most by any SEC team in a league game this season and are tied for the most among SEC teams in all games as Georgia tallied three triples in a March 1 game vs. UAB.
Lester With a Big Day
Mizzou freshman Josh Lester tallied a career-best four hits in the Tigers' 8-2 win over Florida on April 21. It was the first four-hit game by a Tiger since May 19, 2012, when Conner Mach tallied four hits against archrival Kansas. It is also the Tigers' first four-hit game by a freshman since CJ Jarvis tallied four hits in a Saturday win at Baylor on April 23, 2011.
Newcomers Making Impact
So far this season, it has been the Tiger newcomers that have supplied the bulk of the Tiger stats, specifically at the plate. In fact, six of the 19 Tiger position players this year are newcomers and those six players have combined to take 53-percent of the teams at-bats, score 48-percent of the team's runs, drive in 61-percent of the team's RBIs and have 55-percent of the team's hits. In fact, Mizzou has 16 first-year players in its program this season. As many as six first-year players could be in Mizzou's starting lineup this weekend.
The impact of the newcomers has also been felt on the mound as eight of the 14 Tigers to see action on the mound this season are first-year players. In fact, those eight players have combined for 101 of the team's 174 appearances (58-percent) and 183.2 of the team's 423.1 innings this season (44-percent).
A Quick Look at Newcomers' Contributions
61% of RBIs 55% of team's hits 53% of team's at-bats 48% of team's run
101 of the team's 174 pitching appearances 183.2 of 423.1 innings pitched
16 first-year players including six junior college transfers
With last Monday (April 1) being Opening Day for Major League Baseball, Tiger fans will see four former Tigers on active big league Opening Day rosters. The three that most have grown accustomed to - Ian Kinsler with the Texas Rangers, Aaron Crow with the Kansas City Royals and Max Scherzer with the Detroit Tigers - were joined by former Tiger Nick Tepesch, who joins Kinsler in Texas as the No. 5 starter for the Rangers this season. He just put together a great start for the Rangers in his first big league appearance, going 7.1 innings, striking out five while allowing just one earned run on four hits. He was the first Rangers pitcher to pitch into the eighth inning since John Dettmer in 1994, who coincidentally is also a Mizzou alum. The Tigers were close to having five players as former All-American Kyle Gibson made the active 40-man roster for the Minnesota Twins before being sent down to Triple A.
Recruiting Class Garners National Praise
the Mizzou baseball team transitions to the SEC this season, it will be bolstered by a 2012 recruiting that ranks 24th nationally according to Aaron Fitt at BaseballAmerica.com. The Tigers ranked one spot ahead of defending NCAA National Champion Arizona, the same team that eliminated Mizzou from the NCAA Tournament last year. The class, put together by the Mizzou coaching staff includes 19 student-athletes.
Rash Turns Down Big Money For Mizzou
One of the key contributors to the Tigers' recruiting class garnering national attention was the addition of Iowa-native Alec Rash. A second-round draft pick by the Philadelphia Phillies, Rash was the highest-drafted high school player to elect to go to school instead of beginning a major league career.
Little League World Series Connection
When Josh Lester and Ryan Phillips committed to play baseball at Mizzou, they were unaware that they had a unique connection. In fact, both players played in the 2006 Little League World Series and Lester's team won the tournament. Lester and Phillips never met in the series as the two were in different pools, but both remember watching the other play. Lester's team that won the Little League World Series kept that core group of players intact and went on to win three Georgia State Championships in high school.
Ian Kinsler Inducted into Mizzou Hall of Fame
Former Mizzou standout Ian Kinsler was inducted into the Mizzou Athletics Hall of Fame in February. Although he played only one season at Mizzou, Tiger Head Coach Tim Jamieson credits him with being a key figure in helping turn the program around, as he was instrumental in leading Mizzou back to the NCAA Tournament in 2003, after a six-year drought. That 2003 NCAA appearance started a string of seven-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances for the Tiger program. After transferring to Mizzou from Arizona State and junior college, Kinsler batted .335 for Mizzou in 2003, and was third on the team with six home runs and 45 RBI. He also went 16-of-17 in stolen bases during the season, earning All-Big 12 honors.
Coach McArtor Honored as SEC Legend
Mizzou baseball coaching legend Gene McArtor will be honored at the 2013 SEC Baseball Tournament as an AT&T SEC Baseball Legend. The tournament is scheduled to take place from May 21-26 in Hoover, Ala., and Coach McArtor joins former Auburn head coach Hal Baird, former Kentucky second baseman Terry Shumpert and former LSU head coach Skip Bertman.
As a player at Missouri, McArtor won all-conference and all-district honors as a first baseman from 1961-63. He played on two Big Eight Conference championship teams and two squads which advanced to the College World Series. He served as team captain as a senior. He returned to MU as assistant baseball coach in 1969 after coaching and teaching at the high school level in his hometown, St. Louis. McArtor served in that role until 1974 when he succeeded John "Hi" Simmons as the Tigers' head coach. During his 21 years at the helm, McArtor compiled a 733-430-3 record and won Big Eight championships in 1976 and 1980. He guided six teams to the NCAA Tournament and coached 13 All-Americans and 41 all-conference players. McArtor served on the NCAA Baseball Committee from 1987-92, including two years as chairman, during a period of unprecedented growth for the CWS. Former president of the American Baseball Coaches Association, McArtor is a member of the ABCA Hall of Fame, the Webster Groves High School Hall of Fame and the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame. Since retiring as baseball coach, he served MU as director of project management and was the interim director of athletics for several months in 1998. McArtor currently works with the NCAA as an umpire coordinator.
Jamieson Signs Extension
The Mizzou Department of the Athletics and Athletics Director Mike Alden announced back in September that a two-year contract extension for Mizzou head baseball coach Tim Jamieson had been reached. The two-year deal will keep Jamieson, who is the school's longest current-tenured head coach, at Mizzou through the 2015 season.
Francis Howell Connection
For sophomores Brett Graves, Jake Ivory and Case Munson, the 2013 season will just be an extension of their high school careers where they played together for four seasons, winning a MSHSAA State Title for Francis Howell High School last season. The trio has been playing together for nearly 10 years and should give Mizzou a strong foundation moving forward. All three are playing a much bigger role this season.
Georgia on My Mind
With the Tigers moving to the SEC this season, three Tigers grew up in the heart of SEC country and chose to play their collegiate ball at Mizzou. Mike McGraw (Newnan, Ga.), Josh Lester (Columbus, Ga.) and Dylan Kelly (Roswell, Ga.) all call the Empire State their home.
Tigers Televised Through SEC Deal
With the Mizzou baseball program entering its inaugural season as a member of the Southeastern Conference, the program will see four of its games televised to a national audience as part of the SEC's television deal. The Tigers will appear on ESPNU twice while appearing on the SEC Network through Fox Sports for two additional games.
On The Air
Once again this year, KTGR ESPN Radio is the radio home of the Tigers, with all of the game being broadcast on 103.1-FM, 100.5-FM and 1580-AM. The games can also be heard online at KTGR.com. Tex Little is in his 23rd season of calling Tiger Baseball and is joined in the booth by Hunter Mense, who is in his third year as part of the MU broadcast team.
Mizzou Network
Video webcast for all Missouri Baseball home games in 2013 is available at mutigers.tv as part of the Mizzou Network. Mizzou Network is the Tiger fans home for live and archived games, along with coaches' shows, press conferences and more. For more information, visit mutigers.tv and click on the Mizzou Network icon.
Up Next
Mizzou will need to win the SEC Tournament to extend its season and qualify for its ninth NCAA Regional in 11 seasons. It may not be an unrealistic feat for the Tigers, who have advanced to the last two Big 12 Tournament Championship games and own a 9-3 mark in their last three conference tournament appearances.

Returning for a second Dior campaign in support of the Miss Dior handbag, actress Mila Kunis slipped into the skin of a Fifties Hollywood star — a bouffant hairstyle accentuating the glamorous, retro mood.
The black-and-white spots,
photographed in Los Angeles by Mario Sorrentiwith styling by Carine Roitfeld, depict Kunis as the kind of woman accustomed to attention from throngs of paparazzi, and to smoldering in front of the camera. The young actress, who won wide acclaim for her turn in 2010's "Black Swan," is currently on screens in the Seth MacFarlane comedy "Ted."
The worldwide campaign for Dior is to make its debut in the August issue of Elle Hong Kong on July 21, followed by a range of September issues, including Bazaar and Tatler in the U.K., Vanity Fair in the U.S. and Vogue Paris in France. Dior also plans to unveil the images, along with behind-the-scenes imagery and mini film, on its Miss Dior Web site as of Wednesday.

Goebel Shakers
By Hubert and Clara McHugh
The following is an overview of Goebel shakers made in Germany.
A Little History
In 1879 W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik was started to manufacture ceramic objects. In the 1920's the first shakers were produced. At that time there were apprentices and several sculptors but the two master sculptors were Arthur Moeller and Reinhold Unger.
Crown Mark
Pre-World War II sets can be identified by the Crown Mark along with the pre-war hole pattern of seven for salt and five for pepper.
The trademark is also known as trademark one (TM 1).
It may be incised (impressed) or just stamped on the bottom. It was used from 1923 to 1949.
Shaker Identification
Shakers can be identified by a letter prefix or by a number prefix.
Letter Prefixes
The letter prefixes were used up until 1970. Examples of letter prefixes are B, D, G, H, K and I. M28 and M41 are examples of multipiece sets with the M prefix. Pairs with the P prefix were used up to 1970.
Numerical Order
The number prefix was created in the early 1970's to supercede the letter prefix.
70 is one of the prefixes used to designate three pieces that include salt and pepper shakers when they are on a tray or in a basket. Only a few 70 numbers were issued as they were soon superceded by the 77 prefix.
The prefix 71 designates egg cups and also two shakers on a tray or in a basket. It was soon superceded by the 78 prefix.
Early Shaker Examples from the 1920's
Examples of Shakers by Arthur Moeller
Examples of Shakers by Reinhold Unger
Additional Early Shakers from the 1920's
Examples from the 1930's
Condiment Sets
World War II Period
During WWII Goebel had to supply dishes for the German Army and were not allowed to make frivolous items. They also produced some very scarce miniature ceramic tanks that were used by the German generals while planning campaigns on "war maps".
No shakers were manufactured between 1939 and the end of the war.
After World War II
Arthur Moeller and Reinhold Unger survived the war and went on to sculpt shakers into the 50's. The 40's were the end of the apprentice systems. Many shakers were produced by "up and coming" sculptors but attributed to Arthur and Reinhold while actually made under their tutelage.
In 1945 Goebel started to get back into shaker production.
Examples from the 1940's
Girls with Odd Hats
The following series of girls with odd hats was created by Reinhold Unger in 1945. It was was an early attempt to get Goebel back into production in peacetime.
The first pieces were made with the pre-war hole pattern of seven for the salt and five for the pepper. Those early shakers were the last series to use the pre-war hole pattern. Soon the hole patterns were switched to the typical post-war pattern of three holes for the salt and two holes for the pepper.
These pieces also have unusual coloring as materials were scarce right after WWII. Soon the colors got better. Note, the color of the "fruit hats" were not accurate due to the scarcity of quality materials.
Chimney Sweeps
Examples from the 1950's
People and ...
Water Related
Examples from the 1960's
Examples from the 1970's and early 1980's
Webmaster Note:
For much more Goebel shaker information, read "Goebel Salt & Pepper Shakers" by Novelty Salt & Pepper Shakers Club members Hubert and Clara McHugh. You can get it direct from the authors (firstname.lastname@example.com) and they will sign the book.

"Deepest condolences for your tragic loss, which turns the celebration they returned from such a bittersweet affair. Time will ease the pain; love will heal the heart. May you find comfort in knowing that others care."
Vicki, Toronto, Ontario
"My heart goes out to the friends and family of those involved in this terrible tragedy. My condolences."
April, Nova Scotia, Canada
"What a tragic loss for WWF and for the world. The achievements of these dedicated individuals will be their shining monument, and will serve to forever remind the rest of us that change is possible, and the earth is worth caring about."
"My deepest sympathy!"
Lone Fundby, Toronto
"Oszinten sajnalom, hogy pont e remek emberekkel esett meg ez a tragedia."
Pallai Levente, Romania
It takes a very special person to dedicate themselves to such a worthy cause that never seems to end yet they work tirelessly for the good of the Earth and all living creatures. Unfortunately there are not enough of these people and to have the ones that do exist ripped away by such an unfortunate incident is sad beyond words. I pray for them and their families that they take solace in the fact that they did a lot of good with their lives and they will be sorely missed.

Are you recovering from or struggling with a health problem, it's almost always because, your body's natural self-healing mechanisms haven't yet done their job. Sometimes just a little help is needed.
Most people seek out Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine after being disappointed with the results of medications and other treatments. Even the strongest modern drugs usually can only mask symptoms, not cause healing. True healing is only possible when your body heals itself.
That's what makes Acupuncture, Therapeutic Massage, Cupping, Infrared heat and Chinese herbs so powerful. They work by assisting your body's self-healing mechanisms and correcting biochemical imbalances.
As an acupuncturist, I've been privileged to see many, many cases of healing, even after nothing else worked. Please review the conditions treated page to see if acupuncture and Oriental medicine may be appropriate for you. If you're interested in discussing your specific condition let see if your a good candidate for treatment, please contact me to arrange a free 15 minute consultation. Or simply book an appointment.
Let me show you to how to maintain your body for optimal health. I look forward to helping you get healthy and stay healthy.
Cathy Harris, A. P.
Acupuncture Physician
Acupuncture is a trip without drugs.

I just finished "One True Thing" by Anna Quindlan. It was very hard to read, and very good.
Printable View
I just finished "One True Thing" by Anna Quindlan. It was very hard to read, and very good.
Started 77 Shadow Street by Koontz last night. There are no extraordinarily talented Golden Retievers in sight! So far, so good.
After finishing "The Mormon People" (Mathew Bowman), I thought I would start "11/22/63" next, but got way-laid, and instead, picked up Candice Millard's "The River of Doubt", which I had bought some time ago, and never had the inclination to begin. What an interesting story, a unique blend of history and adventure. I had previously read "African Game Trails", but had no prior knowledge of Roosevelt's South American odyssey. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, from start to finish, and highly recommend it. The author provides a wealth of information along the way about the country, the river, the expedition and the individuals who were part of it. I guarantee you will consider it time well spent if you decide to read this narrative.
Gone Missing by Linda Castellano
Andrew M Greeley's "Irish Gold." I wanted something fluffy before I nosedived into the first of the Dark Tower series. Also reading "the Alchemyst" and a dictionary of idioms.
"The Descent" by Jeff Long. Very good book.
Just finished "The Men Who Would Be King", a neat book about the founding of Dreamworks SKG.
I'm about 225 pages into Boy's Life (McCammon), I'm enjoying it.

UHD will host the fourth annual Houston Environmental Education Summit, "Green Schools, Green Families, Green Sites," from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 5.
UHD hosted the event last year and it brought 350 visitors to campus, said Brad Hoge, assistant professor, Department of National Sciences. This year, organizers expect 400 participants. The registration fee is $10 and includes a continental breakfast and lunch.
The summit is co-sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation, Houston Independent School District, Environmental Educator's Exchange and UHD's Department of Natural Sciences. The event is open to teachers, principals, executive principals, curriculum specialists, district administrators, school board members, PTA leaders, parents, program sponsors, and anyone who cares about the education of children in the Houston area including UHD faculty, staff, students and their families.
The summit will explore various ways to help reverse the growing trend of the indoor child by connecting children to nature through environmental education at school, at home, and through the offerings of various nature centers in the Houston area. Studies show that students who participate in hands-on environmental education programs are able to connect to the natural world while achieving higher academic standards, increasing their critical thinking skills, self-confidence and academic motivation. Six CPE credits will be available for attending.
For information contact Marya Fowler, National Wildlife Federation at 512-610-7767 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. A flier is available here. Registration and agenda information are available here, http://houstoneesummit.org.

Beginning today, the university will start a long-planned project to replace the north roof on the One Main Building. The area most affected will be 2nd Street - the pedestrian walkway between the Faculty/Staff Garage and the One Main Building.
Access through this area will still be open to the public, but the Facilities Management Department is strongly encouraging pedestrians to make use of the double elevators in the One Main Building's North Dock Lobby entry (beneath the North Deck, adjacent to the University Police Department) rather than the elevators on the west side of One Main.
The university's consultants and the UHD Environmental Health and Safety department have reviewed the scope of work and the contractor's work plan. No university students, faculty or staff will be exposed to any hazardous materials or processes as the old roof is removed and replaced. In addition, the new roof material itself is a 'cold-applied' product so there will not be any of the odor issues normally associated with hot-asphalt roofs.
We appreciate your cooperation as we undertake this work. Please contact Facilities Management at 713-221-8030 with any questions or concerns.

Running many benchmarks on fast storage (FusionIO, SSDs) and multi-cores CPUs system I constantly face two contention problems. So I suspect it's going to be next biggest issues to make InnoDB scaling on high-end system. This is also reason why in benchmarks I posted previously CPU usage is only about 50%, leaving other 50% in […]
Search Results for: split buffer pool mutex
Introducing percona-patches for 5.1
Our patches for 5.0 have attracted significant interest. You can read about SecondLife's experience here, as well as what Flickr had to say on their blog. The main improvements come in both performance gains and improvements to diagnostics (such as the improvements to the slow log output, and INDEX_STATISTICS). Despite having many requests to port […]
XtraDB: The Top 10 enhancements
Note: This post is part 2 of 4 on building our training workshop. Last week I talked about why you don't want to shard. This week I'm following up with the top 10 enhancements that XtraDB has over the built-in InnoDB included in MySQL 5.0 and 5.1. Building this list was not really a scientific […]
5.0.83-build17 Percona binaries
Dear Community, The build 17 of MySQL with Percona patches is available. New features in the release: MySQL-5.0.83 is taken as the basis The new patch innodb_use_sys_malloc.patch is added The new patch innodb_split_buf_pool_mutex.patch is added This patch splits the single global InnoDB buffer pool mutex into several mutexes for different purposes. This reduces mutex contention. […]
Performance improvements in Percona 5.0.83 and XtraDB
There was small delay in our releases, part of this time we worked on features I mentioned before: – Moving InnoDB tables between servers – Improve InnoDB recovery time and rest time we played with performance trying to align XtraDB performance with MySQL 5.4 ® and also port all performance fixes to 5.0 tree. So […]
XtraDB storage engine release 1.0.2-2 (New Year edition)
Today we announce release 1.0.2-2 of our XtraDB storage engine. Here is a list of enhancements: split-buffer_pool_mutex The patch splits global InnoDB buffer_pool mutex into several and eliminates waitings on flush IO and mutex when there is no enough free buffers. It helps if you have performance drops when data does not fit in memory. […]
XtraDB/InnoDB CPU bound benchmarks on 24cores server
One of our customers gave me a chance to run some benchmarks on 24-core (intel cpu based) server, and I could not miss it and ran few CPU-bound tasks there. The goal of benchmarks was investigation of InnoDB-plugin and XtraDB scalability in CPU-bound load.
MySQL Binaries Percona build10
We made new binaries for MySQL 5.0.67 build 10 which include next fixes: We addressed concerns about potential logging and statistics overhead, so now you can fully turn on / off query statistics for microslow patch and user statistics in runtime. Next variables were added:
| slow_query_log | ON |
| slow_query_log_file | /var/lib/mysql/slow_query.log |
for compatibility with MySQL 5.1
| userstat_running | OFF |
to control gathering of user statistics.
With both slow_query_log = OFF and userstat_running = OFF […]
MySQL 5.0, 5.1 and Innodb Plugin CPU Efficiency
We've recently done benchmarks comparing different MySQL versions in terms of their CPU efficiently in TPC-C like Workload. We did it couple of weeks ago so MySQL 5.0.67, MySQL 5.1.29 and Innodb Plugin 1.0.1 were used which are not very recent, though we do not think results will differ a lot with today versions.

New process can trap carbon as stone for construction, paving, and more August 27, 2013 at 1:01 pm
So you've designed the perfect carbon capture process, cheap and easily installed in everything from coal power plants to car exhaust systems. Everything works perfectly, and not a single hydrocarbon escapes its net. Congratulations, you've solved one of humanity's most pressing problems — but you've also created another. All that carbon may not be in the air, but it still exists. What do we do with the solid carbon byproducts in our quest to save the atmosphere?

A punchy pink for adults and kids alike.
H&H.com's promotions editor Seema Persaud is dreaming about the perfect pink: "Sico's Ming Red (6052-65) is feminine but not too childish or delicate," she says. "I would dare to use this deep coral or Maraschino (6053-65) in a girl's bedroom with crisp white trim and gold accents. Am I too old for pink?"

Colloquium: Technology, Language and Literacy
The purpose of this colloquium is to initiate a discussion on some of the issues raised by the use of computer technology for the development of literacy, be it in a first or in a second language. What kinds of formal and contextual constraints does the medium impose on the creation of texts? What kind of textual imagination is fostered by electronic technology? How does the medium redefine cultural and historic authenticity, authorship, textual cohesion and coherence, genre, voice? How does the use of digital technology affect traditional forms of teaching and traditional academic structures?

"You sort of have to show some discipline early," he said, indicating that runners who fail to do that often expend too much energy early in the race to be able to keep up the pace - or, indeed, to be able to finish at all. "You can get such an adrenaline thing when you're not used to that." So what about the weather, Ms. Beatty? "It didn't bother me at all," she said.
And the size of the race?
"The beginning was awful," she said, pointing to time spent passing scores of slower runners. "I think my first mile was like nine minutes."
But she was very impressed with the race operations, which include busing runners from the finish area in Falmouth Heights to the starting line in Woods Hole.
"It was really well organized for a big race," Beatty said.
No one from Barnstable was in the top 10 men or women, or even the top 10 U.S. men or women, but in terms of completing what they set out to do - no small feat given the humidity - the town's runners fared a bit better than the field as a whole. Of the town's 169 registered runners, 136, or 80.5 percent, finished the race. Of the 9,500-runner field, 7,527, or 79.2 percent, made it across the finish line.
The heat "really shuffled the deck," said Fendler.
The Cape Cod Academy cross country coach called his own performance "good enough." He said his time of 43:19, good for 87th in the men's division, "sort of met my expectation" of a per-mile pace of 6:10, an expectation that took into account the conditions, he said.
Beatty finished 91st among the women with a time of 51:37.
The top Cape Cod finishers were North Eastham's Joe Navas, 34, who was 42nd among the men with a time of 38:59, and North Falmouth's Alexandra Smrcina, 17, who was 39th among the women with a time of 47:29.
Kenyans dominated the men's division, taking the top four spots, six of the top seven, and 11 of the top 16. And the top U.S. finisher, Mbarak Hussein of Albuquerque, N.M., is a recently naturalized citizen but Kenyan by birth. Hussein, 40, finished eighth in 33:20 and first in the men's masters (age 40 and up) division.
The top finishers in the women's division came from all over the world: Italy, Japan, Romania and Russia joined the Netherlands in being represented in the top 10, as did the United States. Deena Kastor, 32, of Mammoth Lakes, Calif., was the top U.S. woman, and third among all women, with a time of 36:48.
Colleen DeReuck, 41, of Boulder, Colo., won the women's masters division in 37:50. She was seventh among all women.
Tony Nogueria, 37, of Glen Ridge, N.J., won the men's wheelchair division for the fourth year in a row, and thumbed his nose at the weather by finishing in 26:01, 12 seconds better than he did in 2004.
April Coughlin of New Paltz, N.Y., was alone in the women's wheelchair division, finishing in 35:10. She, too, defied the conditions, and far more drastically, improving on her 2004 time by 1:33.
