Tuesday, February 18, 2014
Last week South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley said in a Facebook post that devastation from the storm was on the same level or worse than Hurricane Hugo in 1989. The governor's assessment of Winter Storm Pax is evident in Williamsburg County. Besides unsafe road conditions, thousands of felled trees and tons of debris, Pax crippled the electric system that we all depend upon. Most of the outages, according to Santee Electric Cooperative, were caused by ice collecting on limbs and trees that in turn fell across power lines. The South Carolina Emergency Management Division, a division of the Adjutant General's Office, reported at 11 a.m. on Thursday 346,000 outages were reported across the state. Of Santee Electric's 44,226 total members affected, about 12,000 were in Williamsburg County, followed by 9,000 in Clarendon County, 9,000 in Florence County, approximately 12,000 in Georgetown County. Two days prior to the storm, Santee Electric Cooperative began calling in assistance. As a result, more than 250 extra men worked to get electricity restored. Duke Energy also brought in additional resources from the company's Midwest and Florida operations that included helicopter trimming crews. Crews, including 3,900 field workers, worked to restore 91,000 outages across the Carolinas. In addition, other crews traveled from Sumter as well as Tennessee, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Law enforcement, emergency personnel, local road crews and the Department of Transportation worked non-stop clearing roads, sanding bridges and responding to calls. Williamsburg County Sheriff Michael Johnson commended all the public service personnel for their dedication to the saftey of its citizens. "This storm showed how prepared we are, as a public saftey department," said Johnson. "The effects of the storm were mush greater than we anticipated but we did a great job in handling the challenges. All the first responders stood up to the challenges and we got it done." Some of those challenges were clearing roadways; a responsibility of the Department of Transportation but teamwork pulled everybody through. "DOT was on board with us the whole way. They did everything they could to keep up with the demand but it was overwhelming for all of us." Another challenge was the ability to keep warm. "As the power started to go out the challenges got tough. Our shelters were activated for anyone who needed a safe warm place." Johnson agreed with the governor's Facebook assessment. "The damage is equal to or worse than the damage from hurricane Hugo, especially for tree farmers who could lose almost 100 percent of their farms." Assessments continue to come in regarding timber damage. On Saturday, the South Carolina Forestry Commission conducted reconnaissance flights across three of the Forestry Commission's operating regions. In the Pee Dee Region, pilots observed heavy weather damage to stands from Timmonsville to Olanta and down to Williamsburg Co., with lower Florence County appearing to have gotten the worst of the storm. An experienced Forestry Commission pilot observed significant snapping damage to trees in northern Williamsburg Co. The next survey will begin this week. The storm may also be blamed for the death of a 70-year-old man. On Thursday morning, the Kingstree Fire Department responded to a call of a fire with possible entrapment. Williamsburg County Coroner Harrison McKnight said Jonathan Page was found dead on a couch. When firefighters entered the apartment located on Wilson Bouie Blvd. they found light smoke and a table smoldering, seemingly from a candle. The cause of death is pending an autopsy.

text: MAC Hi Jinks! Casual Colour Lip & Cheek Colour ($21.00 for 0.43 oz.) is described as a "bright coral." It's a medium, coral-orange with warm undertones and a soft sheen. It had good, buildable color payoff, and the texture was thin, emollient, and creamy. On the lips, it's very unforgiving and will cling to any unevenness, dryness, cracked/chapped areas on the lips, and in general, it looks dry (and feels drying) on. The color lasted four hours on my lips, but it wore longer on cheeks at seven hours. IT Cosmetics Pretty in Peony (P, $24.00) is more shimmery, powder. theBalm Pie (P) is similar, slightly pinker. Tarte True Love (P, $26.00) is lighter, powder. Chanel Intonation (69) (LE, $38.00) is brighter. Tom Ford Beauty Flush (P, $55.00) is brighter, powder. Illamasqua Dixie (P, $26.00) is slightly pinker. See comparison swatches/ view dupes.

Bexar posts more campaign finance data
By John W. Gonzalez : January 18, 2013 : Updated: January 19, 2013 9:56pm
More Information
Bexar County website for campaign finance reports
Bexar County has joined the state's other most populous counties in providing online access to campaign finance reports for many local candidates.
Previously, only reports for Commissioners Court members were posted, but on Tuesday, Bexar County began posting some 2012 data for countywide offices such as sheriff, district judges, county court-at-law judges, justices of the peace and constables.
Harris, Travis and Dallas counties already provide similar data, and Bexar County had been discussing including offices other than Commissioners Court since 2008.
The data can be examined at the Bexar County Elections Department website, www.elections.bexar.org, which has a link to "C&E" (contributions and expenditures), with a search engine to locate activity for specific offices, officeholders and candidates.

3 inducted into Harless hall of fame
HUNTINGTON -- Three people who have made significant impact on the education system in West Virginia were honored for their efforts during the 8th annual induction ceremony into the June Harless Hall of Fame at Marshall University on Thursday.
Dr. Lowell E. Johnson of the West Virginia Board of Education, West Virginia State Senate President Earl Ray Tomblin and Ralph Baxter, CEO of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, were inducted into the Hall of Fame during a dinner and ceremony at the Marshall University Foundation Hall. Dr. Stan Maynard, director of the June Harless Center for Rural Educational Research and Development, said the three men have each made a tremendous impact on education in West Virginia.
"This is a time to celebrate the inductees and also reflect on what we've accomplished in the past year and talk about where we hope to be this time next year," Maynard said.
Johnson was appointed to the West Virginia Board of Education in January 2004 and completed his second term as state board president in 2007. He taught in Greenbrier County and has also served as president of the West Virginia Education Association. Currently, he is the president of the National Association of State Boards of Education's Board of Directors.
Senator Tomblin is the longest-serving Senate President in West Virginia's History, having first been elected to that position in 1995. Harless Center literature credit Tomblin for being instrumental in advances in public education, such as new building construction, expansion of computer technologies and curriculum development.
Selected as one of "The 100 Most Influential Lawyers" by The National Law Journal, Baxter has served on the steering committee for former U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spelling. He also works on the board of directors of the West Virginia Education Alliance, a statewide public education organization whose mission is to create positive, systemic change in public education.
Since 2001, the June Harless Center has worked with school districts around the state to help them achieve at a higher rate, provide state-of-the-art academics and arm students to be academically competitive with other students around the world.

are held weekly from 9/14/2012 to 10/19/2012 (View complete list of dates)
meets on: Friday, 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM
Located in : Wasatch Mountain State Park, Visitor Center
Instructor: Mark Larese Casanova
Some of the greatest ecological diversity and scenic beauty in Utah
exists in the forest and alpine environments. Throughout these systems,
temperature, elevation, and precipitation play an important role in
defining plant and animal communities and their interactions. Come
join us while we explore these systems and learn about how they
function, the plants and animals that live there, and how they are
managed. Class size is small in order to maximize your opportunities
for learning and having fun!
Each Utah Master Naturalist Program module consists of 40 hours of
instruction, at least 50% of which is spent in the field. Classroom and
field activities will include instructor presentations, guest
presentations on relevant resource issues, small group activities, and
open discussions. There is an option to receive three (3) USU credits
for an additional fee. All participants must download and understand
the Program Introduction Letter available here.
Due to the nature of the Mountains class, we will be walking and hiking over some uneven terrain at relatively high altitudes. While we do our best to accommodate people of all abilities, please contact Mark at email@example.com if you have any concerns.
This program will be taught by Kathy Donnell from Wasatch Mountain State Park.

Below is the poem entitled Night Demons which was written by poet
Anderson. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Leighann Anderson
A full moon dominates the
now dark sky, once alive
with colour.
A ring of light surrounds it;
trouble lies ahead.
Slowly trees transform in to
distorted creatures, stone
becomes stained with blood,
and the ground scattered with
grey and dismembered bodies
once alive with the essence
of life; a beating heart.
Darkness consumes life leaving
nothing but demons to roam the land.
They thrive on innocence and virgin life,
they seem to infect it with hatred
and endless pain, to live an eternity
in a hellish bubble of which screams
will never be heard.
That was once considered beauty
has become ugly and feared; vanity
no longer exists.
The blood stained stone becomes a
symbol of an eternal cycle: day
turns in to night.
Thus the creation of demons is
immortalised by the every thing
that created life itself – nature
and time.

European Stocks Advance, Snapping Five-Day Retreat
May 21 (Bloomberg) -- European stocks climbed, after last week's biggest selloff for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index since September, as China's pledge to boost growth helped offset concern over the future of the euro area.
The Stoxx 600 gained 0.3 percent to 239.53 at 8:44 a.m. in London, recouping some of last week's 5.2 percent selloff. The gauge earlier fell as much as 0.6 percent. Contracts on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.7 percent today and the MSCI Asia Pacific Index gained 0.2 percent.

As a chick, I find it more okay to laugh at someone's chest size. Its a lot easier to 'fix' though it never really needs it, and some people are into smaller or bigger chests. Someone's dick size is a bit more personal, fewer people have a preference to smaller cocks, it can actually impact sexual performance (but only with certain girls, and rarely, honestly) and **** like that, and at the end of the day guys don't even have boobs to play with to cheer themselves up.

Because a small dick isn't so offensive if women still let you put it inside of them. Small tits make some girls look childish and innocent. But a flat ass is something else.

probably for the same reason women can walk around in public and loudly say men who don't have their penises mutilated are gross and dirty and no one should have sex with them. Imagine in men were going around saying that about women who didn't get cliterectomies ? the outrage would be insane, but we live in a world of double standards where more radical feminists have conditioned people into thinking it is okay to attack and insult men becuase women used to be opressed 60+ years ago.

When men are made fun of, we're told to suck it up and deal with it.
When women are made fun of, they all go up in arms in defense of the victim while demonizing the antagonizer.
Men with small dicks are seen as pathetic losers.
Women with small breasts are seen as petite, attractive little flowers.
Double standards.

Enjoy never going balls deep, women complaining that you're too big and tell you to stop it hurts. Women aren't the whores you watch in porn that can take 20 inch horse cock and "moan" with pleasure. When you consider that the average vagina is 6 inches deep, (roughly the same as the average length on men), the excess is actually wasted, and I'm sure most women don't enjoy being repeatedly punched in the cervix.
Unless you're with a size queen, it does you no good.

well sure theres anal and oral and foreplay but when it comes right down too it most women really only do vaginal and oral. About vagin's stretching, they expand, not elongate, you know for babies and such. sure theyll elongate a little but not a whole extra 4 inches

well I'm sure if there are people with larger penises there are probably women with vaginas that can accomadate them too. Also if a 9lb baby can come out of it I think my penis will be just fine even if it is not balls deep.

And I still don't get why you needed to tell us the length of your schlong. As you can see people don't really care, at least not in the good way. Also you could've easily told us your point without mentioning size.

Actually as a woman I think it's not okay to laugh at a man's penis size. It's just rude.

Feminist double standard.
When men gets laughed at they just have to shut up and deal with it. equality at its finest.

Wow. I'm impressed.
It's been an interesting time. I got the "new" PowerBook G4, and installed the upgraded memory. Alas, found out that the system has a defective slot, so I could only take it up to a gig. So, I've arranged for an exchange. The new system ought to meet up with me at home this coming Friday, and I'll be sending this particular computer back next week.
However, until then, I've been playing with the current system. I downloaded/installed NeoOffice for the heavy-lifting stuff, and Bean for the quickie drafts and notes. Done a little bit of writing with the system. Done the email and web-browsing. It's been my constant companion for a week now, and will be with me through part of the coming week.
I am impressed. The transition over has been marvelous. And the system just plain-out performs. "Only" a gig of memory has been more than enough to deal with anything I've thrown at it. It's fast, light on it's feet. And solid.
I like this. Granted, I'm not going to be throwing my Win computer out any time soon. It is still my business/work machine, but for personal stuff... I really think I should've tried this sooner! ;-)
I am impressed!

Steady, unidirectional flow (produced most often by powerheads). Depending on your aquarium setup, you can create laminar flow only or multi-directional flow with a powerhead by adding PVC pipe and fittings to the outflow. Or, implement an oscillating powerhead, which rotates within the aquarium and directs water over a wider area. Several oscillating powerheads, used together can create beneficial turbulence. The Switching Current Water Director, installed on the return of your main filtration, contains a pressure-activated switching valve that effectively splits your return line into two alternating outputs to create beneficial currents.
With proper planning and equipment, you can create some of these healthy water motions within your aquarium.

2012 Spring Programming
Film Screening: Performing Painting, Painters Filmmaking
Fri, Jun 15, 8–9:30pm
Andy Ditzler's Film Love series continues with a selection of historical films and videos that connect to our current Painters Panting exhibition. In the early 1920s, painters and artists began creating films that took cinema into new visual territory. Treating the filmstrip as a canvas, they made works that privileged color and the rhythm of film's movement.
The program begins with early 1920s works – some of the first abstract films – in which painters Hans Richter and Viking Eggeling worked through new ideas about the cinematic medium. Two early masters of the handpainted film, New Zealander Len Lye and the American Harry Smith, are represented by vibrant, virtuosic works. Avant garde pioneer Stan Brakhage turned to handpainting film late in his career, producing haunting works that suggest abstract expressionist painting but move with a filmic rhythm and depth entirely their own. Robert Breer's enigmatic, hand-drawn animation of a train trip and Jennifer Reeves' latter-day The Girl's Nervy are two acknowledged masterpieces of handmade cinema.
With films by Viennese Actionist artists Otto Muehl and Gunter Brus, the program also explores how artists have used the human body as an artistic surface. Drawing together all these concerns is the work of filmmaker and current Whitney Biennial artist Luther Price. In his Inkblots series, Price re-edits found documentary footage, then paints over the filmstrip in complex layers. Price's Inkblot films are projected as originals – no prints are made. Thus, it is Price's own painting that moves through the projector and is animated on screen. The materiality of paint and of the film strip are linked, with implications of the materiality of the human body itself.

When we spoke that night, I felt as though I'd known her for a long time. A week later, I was in Detroit.
My half brother Jim admits that he was lurking in the airport the day I flew in. He wanted to witness that first meeting because he suspected it was a setup, maybe a Jerry Springer episode. I left the security area and walked into an atrium thronged with people, searching for a couple who might look equally curious. After a minute, I called her cell phone from mine.
"Hi, I'm here."
"Where are you?"
"Standing by the Delta counter. Where are you?"
"Standing by the Northwest counter."
We looked around and there we were. We approached. We hugged and kissed. On the cheek. I shook hands with Peter, her husband.
It was a 40-minute drive to Grosse Ile, an island in the Detroit River between the United States and Canada. Nine miles long, the island is at the mouth of the river, where it feeds in to Lake Erie. At that point it's more like a bay, ocean freighters plying the waters of the canal, loading or unloading steel. Along the island road, the tree limbs were laden with new snow, and an icy wind blew off the water. We reached their home, an 1883 farmhouse, warmly furnished, and had drinks as Mary Ann and Peter made dinner. Before long, Maureen, Jim and Mike -- my half siblings -- appeared, and the evening grew into an extended-family happy hour. We talked and joked and compared physical attributes and behaviors. For example, it was clear to me that I looked like Mary Ann, but not so much like her children. Yet there were other similarities.
"Hold up your hand," I told Jim. He put out his palm and I pressed mine against it. They were about the same size. We're both tall, yet our hands are small. I looked to Jim and Mike for clues to my eyebrows -- long, straight and coarse, like broomstick bristles. My barber said they "flew off like bullets" when he cut them. I once plucked one and measured it at an inch and a half. But my half brothers, with their fine, upswept eyebrows, did not share the gene.
"When you found this family, you hit the jackpot," Maureen said over and over. I had no doubts about that. As a family they are close-knit, cohesive, protective of one another. And they like to tease, which was refreshing. In my parents' house, we didn't banter; more often, there was tension because I was in trouble. I could relate to my "new family," as I called them in conversation. And though I felt comfortable with them, it was provident that we were meeting at a stage of our lives where we were mature and presumably could better deal with emotional situations. Had we met in our 20s or 30s, we agreed, we'd probably have been feuding already.
The weekend was a gabfest, and little by little the picture of past events became clearer. Mary Ann said that after the nuns delivered me, she refused to hold me because to look upon the baby she'd never know would have broken her heart. She went back home, resumed her life, got a good job at Ford, married and had more children. But every year on June 30, she said happy birthday to Joel Michael, the name she'd given me. My surname at birth -- her maiden name -- was Freeman.
Mary Ann didn't tell me my father's name and, feeling she might be sensitive about it, I didn't press. After I returned to St. Louis, I spoke with Maureen on the phone. "Mary Ann never did say the name of my father," I said ruefully.
"She didn't? I thought she told you. She told us. His name is...oh, I can't remember. Call her. She'll tell you."
Mickey Lennon. A guy from the neighborhood, Corktown, an Irish-American enclave in Old Detroit, near Tiger Stadium. They weren't really dating; it was more of a fling. Three years older than she, he'd been in the Army, overseas in Japan. She couldn't have been more than five weeks along when she told him she was pregnant, and then war broke out in Korea and he was recalled by the draft. She never saw him again, and he never looked her up. She'd heard through old classmates that he'd settled in the Downriver area south of Detroit and had died many years back. Mary Ann and Mickey didn't stay together, but they made me, which is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.
In late May that same year, I took my seven-year-old daughter, Margaret, to visit my mom in Grand Rapids, then on to Detroit to see Mary Ann and to meet Mickey's sister, a recently discovered Aunt Irene. In the past, when I'd say I was going to Michigan, people would ask, "To visit your mom?" Now I would correct them: "Well, yeah, my moms." Too bad I can't visit my dads, but they're both gone.
Things didn't go well in my mother's house. She's lived alone since her husband died in 1980 and has become increasingly high-strung, given to outbursts over small things, like sitting in the wrong chair or steaming up the bathroom. In short, we felt unwelcome and left early. I thought about her fits of pique en route to Detroit: Was it age, or was she envious over my relationship with Mary Ann? She'd insisted she was happy for me, but over the next month she canceled a visit we'd planned and didn't send a birthday card. I could only hope it would pass.

Is Pixar the only source of quality animation today? Not quite. Look no further than The Animation Show for examples of independent animation keeping the classic traditions alive with wit and insight. Yeah, there's a great Bill Plympton Guide Dog short, but some other contributions from newcomers with just as much enduring simplicity.
Nick Hilligoss' The Animator, posted above, is not included in The Animation Show, but it also deserves your attention. We recently invited Nick to join the Wonderland community, so I interviewed him for Stream. The story of his twenty year devotion to independent side projects suggests the determination of a passionate artist, and you can see that dedication in the film above.

A central Iowa man found a way to keep busy while battling a life threatening illness. He says his project took his mind off treatment. Now, he hopes his effort helps others.
Walking through a workshop in Carlisle, you can tell Larry Schabel has a hobby. He says, "The tractor thing, the thing I love."
He says he typically keeps his work private, but one particular tractor is a labor of love worth sharing. He says, "It needed everything, but I decided this is a thing I love. I'm going to do it right."
Schabel started restoring an old Allis Chalmers B tractor last fall with the help of a new friend. He says, "He couldn't do much, but he was here for spirit and everything. In fact, I asked him to come up today, but he didn't feel very good."
Larry Schabel met Larry Myers in the hospital. Both were battling colorectal cancer. Schabel says, "When I was in the hospital, we're walking and people would be kind of dragging, they'd turn around and go to their room. We'd be come on walk with us. Larry was right there with me."
Out of the hospital, the men decided they needed something to keep the mind off what the body was battling. The two Larrys tinkered with the tractor while undergoing chemotherapy. Medical Oncologist Bob Behrens says, "I got a kick out of hearing him carry his chemotherapy bag around with him while he was fixing the tractor."
Dr. Behrens goes on to say, "I'm happy Larry had activities to do to take his mind off what's going on. I'm happy he was healthy enough and felt well enough to restore an antique tractor while he was on chemotherapy."
Schabel also restored the tractor as a way of giving back. It's going to be raffled off to raise money for the John Stoddard Cancer Center.
Dr. Behrens says, "Stoddard has a lot of programs with special nurses who help people with questions and side effects that come up."
The typically orange tractor should also raise awareness. It is brightly painted blue in honor of colon cancer, pink for breast cancer and the orange seat signifies blood cancers in honor of the family who donated the tractor for Schabel to restore, which he says helped him kick his cancer. He says, "You bet, all the tractors I worked on and this one probably especially because I had something in my heart I wanted to do with it."
He wanted to fix it in honor of all those who helped fix him. The tractor will be on display Saturday, June 15 at G&L Clothing on Ingersoll Avenue in Des Moines. Tickets are $10 and will be on sale through September 16th. Click here for more information.

When I first came to Africa, everyone had an opinion on what shots and medications I should take to ensure that I was in good health when I returned. So begrudgingly, I took shots for yellow fever and hepatitis A, as well as started on my daily dose of Malarone to help ward off malaria. So when I returned to live in Africa many were afraid that I would catch malaria and not make it out alive. Well, eight months in I can say that I still am malaria free.

Municipality of Broken Hill, New South Wales
Image: Medal - Broken Hill Mining Exhibition Commemorative,1890 AD
Source: Museum Victoria
In January 1885 a rich vein of silver at Broken Hill, discovered by a syndicate, turned out to be one of the world's largest known silver-lead-zinc lodes. The syndicate established the Broken Hill Proprietary Company (BHP) later that year. Other silver mining companies in the area included the Beltana Broken Hill Proprietary Silver Mining Company, incorporated in 1888, which purchased four mineral claims on the Ediacara field from the Broken Hill Miners Prospecting Syndicate.
During its early years, Broken Hill was a makeshift community of timber and corrugated iron buildings known for its mineral wealth - and also for its dust storms and poor living conditions. Vegetation around the town was destroyed for use in the mines and smelters, increasing the severity of natural dust storms, and smelters and mine plants belched noxious fumes and dust over the town. The shortage of fresh food and water led to the spread of disease.
The Municipality of Broken Hill was incorporated on September 22, 1888, just five years after the first mineral lease was pegged out and the year that a typhoid epidemic killed 128 people. The need for public health controls was one of the main driving forces behind incorporation. Three years later a private company finally constructed the Stephens Creek Reservoir and reticulation systems to the town and mines.
The City was divided into four wards: Burke, Wills, Sturt and King, each returning three aldermen. The ward system was later abandoned and Councillors are today elected to represent the whole of the City. The number of Councillors has remained at twelve, including a popularly-elected Mayor.
By 1891 the population had passed 21,000, making Broken Hill the third largest town in New South Wales. Civic progress continued during the 1890s with the construction of schools, a technical college, town hall, post offices and gaol. Many of the timber and iron hotels and business houses were rebuilt in brick and stone. Streets were paved and recreation reserves were planted with trees.
Broken Hill was declared a City in 1907.
Water supply problems were finally resolved in 1952 when a 109-km pipeline was built to channel water to Broken Hill from the Menindee Lakes.
BHP ceased work at Broken Hill in 1940. Today Pasminco is the only remaining operator, formed through a company merger in 1988.
The decline of the mining industry presents today significant challenges to the City.
The Broken Hill City Council issued a medal to commemorate the coronation of George VI in 1937 (NU 34750).

Indianapolis edges Romero, Bulls
Durham had one more hit than Indianapolis on Wednesday night.
But the Indians benefitted from an unearned run and edged the Bulls 2-1 in an International League baseball game at Victory Field.
Enny Romero (3-7) was a tough-luck losing pitcher for Durham. He struck out five in his six innings, allowing six hits and only one earned run.
Romero limited the Indians to just three hits over the first four innings while protecting a 1-0 lead.
But Indianapolis solved him and got some help from a Durham error in the fifth inning to tie the game.
With one out, Mel Rojas and Michael Martinez paired back-to-back singles. Romero appeared set to get out of the inning when Chase d'Arnaud hit a ground ball to shortstop. Hak-Ju Lee field cleanly and threw to second to start a double play, but Bulls second baseman Jayson NIx dropped the ball for an error that loaded the bases.
Robert Andino's sacrifice fly to right field brought in an unearned run to tie the game at 1. Romero escaped further damage by retiring Chris Dickerson on a pop up to shortstop.
But Indianapolis found more success against Romero in the sixth inning.
Matt Hogue started the rally with a lead-off double. Tony Sanchez moved Hogue to third base with a groundout to second base and a Bret Morel groundout, also to Nix at second, gave Indianapolis a 2-1 lead.
The Bulls scored their lone run in the second inning when Wilson Betemit singled, moved to third on a Curt Casali double and scored on a Vince Belnome sacrifice fly.
Casali attempted to start a rally in the ninth inning for the Bulls, collecting a lead-off single. But after Belnome struck out, Ray Olmedo grounded into a game-ending double play.
Durham finished the game with seven hits to six for Indianapolis. The Bulls stranded seven runners on base while hitting into one double play and having one runner picked off base.
Notes: Durham's bullpen makeup was shuffled Wednesday when right-hander Josh Lueke joined the team and left-hander Braulio Lara was optioned to Double-A Montgomery. Lueke, a pitcher with Durham last season, pitched in 25 games for Tampa Bay this season. He was designated for assignment last week after compiling a 5.64 ERA.

Elementary and junior high school students around the state are taking the new Common Core tests all week. But those tests come with a lot of controversy.
Some parents don't want their children to take them because they haven't been taught all the subject manner. And there is confusion with what schools are to do with students whose parents have opted them out of the exams.
The New York State Education Department says all students are expected to participate in these tests. But that's not stopping some parents from refusing. A school principal in at least one district, Honeoye Falls-Lima, told parents of kids not taking the test that they would have to sit silent while the test was being given. The parents say that would be a form of punishment.
The parents of eight-year-old Hayden Koch, a third grader, and his 10-year-old sister, Olivia, a fifth grader, have decided that the kids will not take the new Common Core standardized state tests.
Their father, Scott, is a teacher who is studying for his doctorate in education. He describes himself as an activist. Koch echoes what many educators have complained about, that the state rolled out this new test way too fast, and teachers were not given the time or the right materials to prepare their students.
But what really irked Koch and his wife was the school principal informing them that their kids would be required to sit quietly at their desks as for long as an hour.
Scott Koch said, "They will force students to sit for 50 minutes and not allow them to do anything. They were not allowed to read, to doodle. They would not be allowed to do anything except sit in their chair. I felt it was punitive. And my wife and I framed the debate in terms of it being essentially an in-school suspension."
But the Honeoye Falls-Lima superintendent says that was a misunderstanding and the district decided that kids who opted out would be allowed to bring reading material to occupy their time.
Gene Mancuso, HF-Lima School Superintendent, said, "I think the confusion was the state put in the manual the word "may." Students may read, and that was a new part of the protocol they had put in."
News10NBC also wanted to know if districts could be penalized if enough children opt out. If less than 95% of students take the tests in the school at large and certain sub-groups within the school, the districts could lose certain state funding if it were to happen for two years in a row.
Checking with a handful of school districts, News10NBC found only a small number of students are not taking the new Common Core tests. For example, one in Fairport, three in Hilton, six in Honeoye Falls-Lima, eight in Churchville-Chili and eleven in the city of Rochester.

Local artist's great-grandfather saw Titanic set sailWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Local artist Ralph Henry has spent years chronicling the maiden and final voyage of the most famous ship in history. Working in colored pencil, Henry has drawn more than a dozen portraits of Titanic — depicted everywhere from the docks at Southampton, England, to its final resting place at the bottom of the sea.
His works have been displayed in various locations around the area since 2006, most notably in a regular exhibit at the Lucas County Fair. But as the great ship's voyage came to a sudden end, so too will Henry's work in tribute to it.
"I've drawn quite a few of them, and this will be the last one," Henry said. He noted that this year's portrait will be given away as part of the festivities at the Lucas County Fair. "I'm actually titling it, 'Steal the Titanic.'
"Lucas County, I will say, since '08 has been the best and most accommodating, as far as my artwork goes.
"They have really graciously enjoyed the Titanic and stuff. And this year, when I actually informed the board that this would be my last year, they were kind of disappointed. I went, 'Look, since you guys have had it, this'll be the fourth year of you running it, it's the anniversary — let's let it go after this.'"
Although Henry's interest in art goes back to his childhood, his passion for all things Titanic goes much deeper — you could even say it is in his blood. His great-grandfather, a shipbuilder from Yugoslavia, was actually present the day Titanic sailed.
"I had to write a report in the fifth grade, and I was sitting at my grandma's desk," Henry, a native of Jackson, Mich., remembered. "And I was looking it up in a little encyclopedia I got from Kroger, and it had a little picture of Titanic, and just a teeny little article. And my grandfather just happened to walk by and said, 'I can tell you a better story than that book will.'
"And he sat down and relayed how his father was there the day Titanic sailed. He met with the shipbuilders. My cousin has the documentation. … He met with [ship designer] Thomas Andrews the morning Titanic sailed to sign agreements with them to build their ships for Yugoslavia."
His grandfather's story helped inspire young Henry's passion for things aquatic — in addition to Titanic, he has drawn portraits of numerous other noteworthy naval subjects (and disasters) such as the Bismarck and the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. In fact, it was the latter that reignited Henry's passion for art after a break of nearly a decade.
"I stopped drawing in 1995, actually, for 10 years. In the '90s, I was making a lot of artwork and giving them as gifts. I really didn't do any ships, though, just odds and ends and everything," Henry said.
"In 2005, a neighbor bet me that I could not draw the Edmund Fitzgerald. And I said, 'Fine, I'll do it.' And when I gave him the picture, he's like, 'I can't believe this.' And I just started drawing them again."
He soon returned to his childhood obsession, and began creating works dedicated to Titanic.
"I did three in 2006, and one of them won first place at the Wood County Fair. Unfortunately, I don't have them — my ex does," he said, noting that he was told via email the paintings had been burned.
In addition to the exhibits at local fairs, Henry's work has been displayed in several local libraries, such as Way Public Library in Perrysburg and the Maumee branch of the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, which is exhibiting his portraits of the Titanic this month in commemoration of the sinking's 100th anniversary. He made clear that his muse is not limited to nautical subject matter, however.
"I draw just about anything — I've drawn John Lennon, the Last Supper, just basically anything I can draw — I can try it. I'm not gonna promise nothing, but I'm going to try it. I believe every artist has their own style, their own techniques, and everybody does it differently."
"I look at it like, I don't like to compete with other artists. Even though that's what you do in the fair," he said.
And through all his work on the great ship, whether it be his more realistic pieces or his more recent works which depict it in neon, augmented by a black light — Henry said he takes great care to capture the essence of the luxury liner, down to the last detail.
"It's kind of difficult to explain, because when I do a piece, no matter what it is — I get a photograph of it, and I study it, very carefully. I believe in detail. I look very closely at the detail, and how I want it to look. Titanic has a lot of detail.
"It's almost like a puzzle you're putting together." O

Space shuttle Atlantis is on its way to orbit for the last time.
Atlantis and an experienced crew of six blasted off Friday afternoon. More than 40,000 guests gathered at the Florida launch site, all of them eager to catch one of the few remaining shuttle flights. NASA said it was the biggest launch-day crowd in years.
The shuttle is bound for the International Space Station. It should reach the orbiting complex Sunday.
Atlantis is carrying a full shipment of space station gear.
Only two shuttle flights remain after this one. Discovery is due
to fly in September, followed by Endeavour in November. The fleet
is being retired so NASA can pursue more ambitious exploration.
This is the 32nd flight for Atlantis.

MILLINGTON — U.S. Navy officials say a suspect is in custody after a shooting on Navy property at a facility in Tennessee.
A tweet on the Navy's official Twitter page says Naval Support Activity Midsouth in Millington, near Memphis, is on lockdown. One person is in custody, according to the Navy.
A Navy recruiter who had been relieved of duty shot two people at a Navy base north of Memphis and was quickly taken into custody, according to a law enforcement official who had been briefed on the developments.
The injuries were not life-threatening, said that official and another official, both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.———

The design of the Congress flag was selected from 27 proposals submitted by interested vexillologists, and modified slightly by the design committee. The white stars on blue and the red stars on white represent, respectively, the host nation and city, the United States of America, and Washington D.C. There are 24 stars in all, echoing the number of the Congress. The blue-and-white and the quartered design also recall, respectively, the state flags of Virginia and Maryland, the two states adjacent to the District of Columbia.
The basic design was submitted by Mr. Tony Burton of New South Wales, Australia. Mr. Burton's original design showed gold stars in the white blue quarters. While the original blue-and-gold motif suggested the colors of the FIAV flag, the committee felt that there should be a stronger reference the host nation. The committee also considered displaying gold stars in one blue quarter and white in the other; however, this was visually less attractive and created a potential precedence issue.
Coincidentally, the concept of the ICV 24 flag is similar to the one used for ICV 14 in Barcelona in 1991, held twenty years earlier. However, the use of the stars to represent the number of the ICV creates an additional symbolic link between the ICV and the host nation and city.
The flag was chosen by the Congress Flag Committee: Peter Ansoff, chairman; Baron Fain, Dr. John Purcell, and Cindy Williams. The flag artwork is by Peggy Rose.

For decades, Russia's oil giants have been polluting parts of the country's once thriving landscape, often in secret, spilling oil onto the land and into the Arctic Ocean, poisoning the water and destroying the livelihood of local communities and Indigenous Peoples.
Greenpeace has investigated and documented the ongoing disaster, revealing how the oil seeps into rivers and farmland. This leaked oil spreads and becomes a thick, heavy mire, suffocating plants and animals, and forcing people to abandon the area. The oil contaminates food and water supplies, and people live with the knowledge that their once clean rivers, forests and air now pose serious health risks.
When BP spilt 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, the whole world took notice. The Russian oil industry spills more than 30 million barrels on land each year — seven times the amount that escaped during the Deepwater Horizon disaster — often under a veil of secrecy and corruption. And every 18 months, more than four million barrels spews into the Arctic Ocean, where it becomes everyone's problem.
After analysing satellite images to identify spill sites, Greenpeace staff travelled to this and other Arctic and subarctic regions to investigate and document the spills and expose the extent of the damage. All these photos were taken over a three-day period in just one of the many oil spill hotspots in Russia.
Intensive development work carried out by the oil and gas industry is generally accompanied by large-scale PR campaigns. These are focused on making local residents believe that oil drilling and production are absolutely harmless and will positively contribute to the overall development of the region and its infrastructure.
Extreme weather conditions along with a lack of maintenance have resulted in a slow but constant seepage of oil from pipeline ruptures. Additionally, there is still "outlawed" burning of associated gas (60% of which is methane — a powerful greenhouse gas). Russia burns around 40 billion cubic metres of this kind of gas annually.
According to a representative from the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources, "The development of Russia's continental shelf is characterised by the most complicated working conditions and requires the use of new and unique technologies. At the same time, among the major constraints are: extremely difficult, natural climatic and engineering-geological conditions, lack of infrastructure, remoteness of extraction areas from coastal support bases, and the absence of proven technologies for the development of offshore oil and gas fields in the Arctic."
If the Russian oil and gas industry has been unable to adhere to regulations in the existing fields — despite having all the necessary technical capabilities — why would we believe it will show any greater responsibility to environmental issues when developing the offshore Arctic?
Previously classified government documents state that dealing with oil spills in the freezing waters is "almost impossible" and inevitable mistakes would shatter the fragile Arctic environment.

Tens of thousands of small-scale leaks from pipelines throughout the Russian oil fields result in millions of tonnes of oil polluting the landscape every year.

"The overall fit was horrible, a real challenge to build, but I love the plane," says Michael of Monogram's 1/48 scale B-26 Marauder. He scribed panel lines, airbrushed with Testors Model Master paints, and used Tamiya's weathering kit. After airbrushing a gloss coat of Pledge Future floor polish, he applied decals from his spares box, sealed them with more Future, then finished with Testors Model Master clear flat.
