For the first time in nearly 18 years, the U.S. government shut down this morning because of Congress's inability to reach a deal on the federal budget before today's October 1 start of the 2014 fiscal year. News reports estimate the shutdown will stop 800,000 Americans from getting paid and could cost the economy about $1 billion a week. The last time it happened, during the Clinton administration, the stalemate lasted 21 days.

Geography | Government | History
Slightly smaller than Maine, Austria includes much of the mountainous territory of the eastern Alps (about 75% of the area). The country contains many snowfields, glaciers, and snowcapped peaks, the highest being the Grossglockner (12,530 ft; 3,819 m). The Danube is the principal river. Forests and woodlands cover about 40% of the land.
Federal republic.
Settled in prehistoric times, the central European land that is now Austria was overrun in pre-Roman times by various tribes, including the Celts. After the fall of the Roman Empire, of which Austria was part, the area was invaded by Bavarians and Slavic Avars. Charlemagne conquered the area in 788 and encouraged colonization and Christianity. In 1252, Ottokar, king of Bohemia, gained possession, only to lose the territories to Rudolf of Hapsburg in 1278. Thereafter, until World War I, Austria's history was largely that of its ruling house, the Hapsburgs. Austria emerged from the Congress of Vienna in 1815 as the continent's dominant power. The Ausgleich of 1867 provided for a dual sovereignty, the empire of Austria and the kingdom of Hungary, under Franz Joseph I, who ruled until his death on Nov. 21, 1916. The Austrian-Hungarian minority rule of this immensely diverse empire, which included German, Czech, Romanian, Serbian, and many other lands, became increasingly difficult in an age of emerging nationalist movements. When Archduke Francis Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo in 1914, World War I, as well as the destruction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, began.
During World War I, Austria-Hungary was one of the Central powers with Germany, Bulgaria, and Turkey, and the conflict left the country in political chaos and economic ruin. Austria, shorn of Hungary, was proclaimed a republic in 1918, and the monarchy was dissolved in 1919. A parliamentary democracy was set up by the constitution of Nov. 10, 1920. To check the power of Nazis advocating union with Germany, Chancellor Engelbert Dolfuss in 1933 established a dictatorship, but he was assassinated by the Nazis on July 25, 1934. Kurt von Schuschnigg, his successor, struggled to keep Austria independent, but on March 12, 1938, German troops occupied the country, and Hitler proclaimed its Anschluss (union) with Germany, annexing it to the Third Reich.
An Independent Austria Establishes Constitutional Neutrality
After World War II, the United States and Britain declared the Austrians a "liberated" people, but the Russians prolonged the occupation. Finally Austria concluded a state treaty with the USSR and the other occupying powers and regained its independence on May 15, 1955. The second Austrian republic, established Dec. 19, 1945, on the basis of the 1920 constitution (amended in 1929), was declared by the federal parliament to be permanently neutral.
Austria Establishes Neutrality
On June 8, 1986, former UN secretary-general Kurt Waldheim was elected to the ceremonial office of president in a campaign marked by controversy over his alleged links to Nazi war crimes in Yugoslavia. Austria became a member of the European Union in 1995, but it retained its strict constitutional neutrality and forbade the stationing of foreign troops on its soil.
In Feb. 2000, the conservative People's Party formed a coalition with the far-right Freedom Party, headed by Jörg Haider. A nationalist against immigration, Haider had made several controversial remarks praising some Nazi policies, which he has since recanted. His gradual rise to power was credited to voters weary of decades of stasis under the rule of the Social Democrats. The European Union condemned Austria's new coalition, froze diplomatic contacts, and imposed sanctions, accusing Haider of being a racist, xenophobe, and Nazi sympathizer. Given the controversy, Haider chose not to join the government, but he continued to wield influence from the sidelines.
Failed Coalitions Hinder the Republic's Government
In Sept. 2002, the coalition between the People's Party and the Freedom Party dissolved after a shake-up in the Freedom Party, instigated by Haider. In Nov. 2002, the People's Party made large gains in general elections. After failed coalition talks with other parties, the People's Party again formed a government with the Freedom Party in Feb. 2003. A government plan to overhaul the country's pension program led to widespread strikes in May and June 2003—the first national strikes in decades.
In 2004, Heinz Fischer, known as the "left conscience" of the Social Democrat Party, was elected to the largely ceremonial role of president.
Austria's tough laws against Nazi propaganda led to a three-year prison sentence for infamous British historian David Irving, who pleaded guilty in Feb. 2006 to denying the Holocaust. In Dec. 2006, he was released from prison early, and deported to England.
Three months after elections, Austria's two main parties formed a coalition government in Jan. 2007. The leader of the Social Democrats, Alfred Gusenbauer, became chancellor.
Parliament passed a law in June 2007 that lowered the voting age in Austria to 16.
Infighting Causes Government Collapse
On July 7, 2008, the Austrian government collapsed after months of struggling between the two major political parties, the Social Democratic Party and the People's Party. Elections are expected to be held in September. The chancellor, Alfred Gusenbauer, announced that he would not run for reelection. The new Social Democratic Party leader and transport minister, Werner Faymann, will be the Social Democrat candidate.
In September 2008, the right-wing parties made tremendous gains in parliamentary elections. The Social Democratic Party of Austria won 29.3% of the vote (57 of 183 seats), the Austrian People's Party 26% (51), the Freedom Party of Austria 17.5% (34), the Alliance for the Future of Austria 10.7% (21), the Greens 10.4% (20), and the Liberal Forum 2.1% (0). Turnout was 78.8%. On October 8, 2008, Faymann was asked by President Fischer to form a new government.
On October 11, 2008, during a crucial time in Austrian politics, the leader of the far-right Alliance for the Future of Austria, Jorg Haider, died in a car crash. On November 23, 2008, a coalition was agreed upon. Faymann began serving as Chancellor of Austria on December 2, 2008.
Parliament Passes Controversial Reforms to Regulate Islam
In Feb. 2015, the Austrian parliament passed controversial reforms in an effort to control Islamist radicalism. The reforms were to the 1912 law that made Islam an official religion in Austria. The new legislation bans any foreign funding for mosques or imams. However, there were no similar bans made for other religions. For example, Christians could still receive foreign funding for their churches.
The new legislation was condemned internationally. Mehmet Gormez, leader of Turkey's religious affairs, released this statement, "Austria will go back 100 years in freedom with its Islam bill." In Austria, there are roughly half a million Muslims, about 6% of the population.

The best way to hear these songs is to take a tracklisting with you to a King Creosote gig and, in between songs, shout out the name of one. Repeat this until he plays that song. If you are lucky you will get two or three per gig. Sometimes with acoustic/squeezebox version.
That's my advice.

No kidding! I could happily go a day like that.
I'm with OTF on this subject, the more difficult it is to find the greater the joy when you manage to. Just located the Fence Reunited (on amazon of all places) after i thought i'd bought it from Domino TWICE, though is was out of stock both times... when it finally dropped through the letterbox i couldn't have been happier. If it hadn't been for the search, it would have still been good but not nearly as rewarding.
And my advice, get the OTF double CD while it's still available, get into Found they've got cds available and they're ACE!, and start playing the lottery so you might be able to afford that back catalogue.

Post subject: Apologies for any offence/upset caused
Dear All (Especially Beef Lords & Super Users)
Please may I clarify the following point.
My original request to hear the King Creosote backlog was just that.
I dearly want to own original copies not illegal CDRs or dodgy Mp3 downloads.
I know all good things to those who wait- but I only discovered King Creosote 6 months ago.
So I am many lavender moons behind everyone else trying to track down the KC & fence collective compliation back-catalogue. It 's all soo darn mint !
I am deeply sorry if I gave the misguided impresion I was trying to blatantly rip Fence off or comprise anyone's integrity. This was not & has never been my intention.
I humbly apologise for any offence/upset caused.
I hope that has helps to start to build to bridges.
Best Regards

Kenny personally hand-crafted the wooden boxes for these.. I think they took him approximately a week a piece.. hence it seeming so strange that a single CD from one would turn up on Ebay..
He did start a list on here sometime ago, for folk that wanted one to add their name, but then I think it looked like it would take him four years to make them all so he has pretended that he has forgotten.

Do you think he'll be persuaded to do a few more (even in balsa wood for ease of making the box?!
Although, saying that they would probbaly only be avalable at gigs, and due to my work / homelife I don't get much time to get out of the midlands.
Saying that, I am going to try to drive up for this years Haloween one, so, as soon as any news comes about, please shout!

I finally got Partition Magic 7 to play nice, I partitioned my 6Gb disk drive with a little over 2.8 Gb for Linux and a swap.
Only problems I've had installing is that the 2nd CD that I have with all the extras on it is F.U.B.A.R
The install progress bar stopped at 14 minutes to go and asked for the 2nd CD, and I put it in and thought all was well until those error messages started popping up, "Error installing package",
Anyhow to make a long story short, it took over 4 hours for the process to finish leaving me with a whole notebook page of errors.
And finally telling me that my CD rom drive or CDROM was damaged.
So, I asked the guy I got the CDs from to burn another 2nd CD of Mandrake and I should have it this week.
Man was I ill after seeing all those error messages, but I know I'll get it installed someday soon.
And I'll be posting more here every now & then.
Thanks for the help so far, you guys are great!

Download SERVICE Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Valve For PCV valve removal, refer to Routine Maintenance of this information. 1. Locate the PCV valve. With the engine running at idle, use pliers to pinch the PCV hose between the valve and the intake manifold. It should be possible to hear the spring loaded valve click shut. 2. If no click is heard, remove the valve from the engine but leave it connected to the intake manifold. A hissing sound should be heard and vacuum should be felt at the valve inlet. 3. If no vacuum is felt, remove the valve from the intake manifold hose. The engine should stall or almost stall. This will indicate a stuck valve or clogged hose.

Jackie Robinson was one of the greatest trailblazers in sports history. He's well known for a certain iconic "first" – but his entry into Major League Baseball was just one of many things Jackie Robinson did before anyone else. April 15 is Jackie Robinson Day in Major League Baseball - every player in the league is wearing No. 42. We're helping celebrate by remembering Jackie Robinson's firsts. We'll start with one very famous fact…
First black player in Major League Baseball. In 1945, Robinson was playing on Negro League team the Kansas City Monarchs. When he was approached about playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers' farm team, the Montreal Royals, Robinson was initially skeptical, worrying that they were looking for "a Negro who is afraid to fight back." But he was convinced to join the Royals for the 1946 season, and he saw great support from the people of Montreal, who flocked to the stadium in unprecedented numbers. The very next season, he was called up to the majors, becoming the newest Brooklyn Dodger and the first black player in MLB history.
First Rookie of the Year. When Major League Baseball created the Rookie of the Year award in 1947, Robinson was the first player to receive the honor, thanks to a vote by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Forty years later, the award was renamed the Jackie Robinson Award.
First black MVP. In 1949, Robinson was named the National League's Most Valuable Player, after working in the off season to improve his batting average from .296 to .342. That same year, he was the starting second baseman in the All-Star Game. It was the first to include black players, but Robinson wasn't the first and only black All-Star – joining Robinson as the first African American All-Stars were Roy Campanella, Don Newcombe and Larry Doby.
First black vice president of a major U.S. corporation. After Robinson's retirement in 1957, he took a job as vice president for personnel at Chock full o' Nuts coffee, breaking the color barrier in a whole new field.
First black Hall of Famer. 1962 marked the first year Robinson was eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame, as it was five years past his retirement from the sport. And indeed, Robinson was voted in, the first black major leaguer to be honored in the Hall of Fame.
First black MLB TV analyst. In 1965, Robinson was hired as an analyst for ABC's Major League Baseball Game of the Week – the first black person to hold such a position.
First athlete with a universally retired number. On June 4, 1972 – just a few months before Robinson's death at age 53 – the Dodgers retired his number, 42. Twenty-five years later, Robinson was greatly honored by Major League Baseball when #42 was universally retired across all teams. It was the first time any major sports league had honored a player this way. The retirement continues, with one exception. Each year on April 15 – the anniversary of Robinson's major league debut – MLB celebrates Jackie Robinson Day, in which all players on all teams wear the number 42. It's a charming tribute to the man who helped change forever the face of Major League Baseball.

While generating electricity is its core business, Exelon Nuclear's Oyster Creek Generating Station prides itself on being a good neighbor and donated about $389,000 in 2008 to a wide range of organizations in communities surrounding the station.
FORKED RIVER, NJ. (Jan. 6, 2009) - While generating electricity is its core business, Exelon Nuclear's Oyster Creek Generating Station prides itself on being a good neighbor and donated about $389,000 in 2008 to a wide range of organizations in communities surrounding the station.
"Oyster Creek strives to be a good neighbor and a good corporate citizen," said Tim Rausch, Site Vice President. "In addition to sponsoring various events and contributing to worthwhile organizations in the area, many of our employees volunteer their time and talents to help those in need."
Rausch noted that the bulk of last year's donations came from personal donations by the employees of Oyster Creek when they gave $277,000 to the United Way of Ocean County.
"Our company and employees place great value on community commitment. We're proud to be recognized as a leader in Ocean County for our employees' generosity," Rausch said. "We know there are many groups and organizations that need our support, and I'm proud to say that our company and employees recognize and accept this responsibility. We'll continue live up to our commitments in 2009."
"United Way of Ocean County thanks Oyster Creek for its strong support of our programs," said Lisa Giannascoli, interim executive director of UWOC. "We are extremely appreciative of Oyster Creek's continued commitment to United Way of Ocean County."
Some of the other area organizations and events that have received support from Oyster Creek include:
Borough of Beachwood Bayville Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Southern Ocean County Hospital Lacey Girls Softball League Marine Mammal Stranding Center Barnegat Bay Decoy & Baymens Museum Lacey Food Bank
"In many cases, our employees have direct ties with the organizations we support and we try to help where we can," Rausch said. "We're glad to assist them when possible."
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 480,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

They're focused on learning the school song before the first football game gets here.
No time to think about home which is 5,000 miles away.
"I like the cheers," says Lais Ferfoglia. "The only thing I don't like is the jumps."
Cheer jumps are... less graceful than ballet in Brazil.
"I jump but it's not so radical."
Already in the front row... Laura.
She cheers in Germany but says the actual cheering part of the sport is more intense here.
"It's fun... And although it is not always easy, it is a great experience."
An experience that is helping her adjust to the U.S.
Skowhegan's Athletic Director says year after year, foreign exchange students join sports.
"It really makes them a part of the school and they get to know kids faster and integrate themselves much quicker than kids that don't," says Don Finley.
Another benefit? Beginning before school is in session.
"The cheer practice started before the classes started so I arrived on my first day knowing some people. 'Does that help?' Yeah. And the girls are so nice," says Ferfoglia.
Fellow teammate, Erika Cooley says "every time you see a cheerleader in the hallway it's hey, how are you doing?"
And the comradery starts here. The Skowhegan cheerleading program doesn't begin until High School. And with new coaches this year... the team chant is fresh for everyone:
"I am good. I am good! I am worth it. I am worth it! I can do this. I can do this!"
"I feel already like a part of the team."

Read: Bridging The Make Whole Gap
Yesterday Donald Fehr announced that there was no longer a discrepancy of upwards of $1 billion or so between the NHL and NHLPA on the topic of make whole and that the number was now $182 million.
The NHL proposal calls for $211 million to be paid in make whole payments while the NHLPA's proposal saw the league paying $393 million in a four-year installment plan that broke down as:
- $182 million in year one
- $128 million in year two
- $72 million in year three
- $11 million in year four
Bob McKenzie tweeted last night that the key, to him, is finding a way to bridge that gap. He notes that it may be hard to do as the owners may not go above $211 million and they could decrease that offer moving forward. "As days pass and games get cancelled, Make Whole dollars can't stay constant. Shorter the season, the more MW$ will skew player share."
Pierre LeBrun says "Make Whole $$$ asked for by players will need to go down"
The $182 million difference breaks down as $6 million per team over the course of the CBA.

Visiting the brewery during Energy Week

Last Friday, I took a stroll over to the Toronto brewery to see what was going on for Energy Week — it was great! There were booths set up from different sponsors and organizations including Spirax Sarco, Enbridge, Energy@Work, Toronto Hydro and more. The Molson employees were able to go to the booths, learn about different energy saving initiatives, ask questions and submit ideas.
At the end, tons of prize draws were done with prizes donated from Enbridge. Every time a Molson employee submitted an idea for energy saving at the brewery, they received a raffle ticket.
Would like to hear your ideas too! How are you saving energy?

The development of the Nice N Easy convenience store at Salmon Run Mall Road and Route 12F has run into an unexpected snag over a sign its owners want to place at the corner of 12F and the Interstate 81 South on-ramp.
The developer is claiming that an obscure state Department of Transportation regulation has created a hardship that requires a zoning variance for a taller and larger on-premise sign, while the town of Watertown Planning Board is claiming that by granting the variance, the town Zoning Board of Appeals would create a dangerous precedent.
The Planning Board approved the project in early March. At the time, a narrow strip of land extended from the area designated for the gas station and convenience store to an area designated for the installation of a 20-foot-tall sign to advertise the station.
Later that month, the state Department of Transportation approved the traffic flow into and out of the station, according to Patrick J. Scordo, principal at GYMO Architecture, Engineering and Land Surveying, the firm developing the site.
The project moved forward and site work began July 8 for the convenience store and gas station.
A few days later, however, a letter arrived from the DOT announcing that the proposed sign would not be considered an on-premise sign.
Where the sign site is located on or near the end of a narrow strip contiguous to the advertised activity, the sign site shall not be considered part of the premises on which the activity being advertised is conducted, the letter read.
DOT also told developers that the sign could not be considered an off-premise sign because it would be less than 500 feet from the I-81 interchange.
Mr. Scordo said that neither the town Planning Board nor the design team was aware of the regulation.
Caught off guard, Mr. Scordo said that Edward J. and John P. Valentine, who own several Nice N Easy stores in the area, tried to remedy the situation by seeking a variance from the town Zoning Board of Appeals for an 80-foot-tall on-premise sign.
The appeal was based on a claim of hardship imposed by the DOT regulation.
But before the Valentines appeared before the ZBA, members of the town Planning Board sent ZBA Chairman Robert W. Wormwood a letter.
The developer of the Nice N Easy site first approached the Planning Board with a proposal for a taller and larger sign than is allowed by town regulations, the letter read.
The developer was informed that the Planning Board could not and would not consider that request but that other options could be pursued, including using interstate promotional signs located before each exit on I-81, using existing billboards or increasing the amount of property purchased to allow construction of a sign closer to I-81.
The developer pursued the last option, the letter read, and it was up to the developer, not the Planning Board, to ensure there were no issues associated with the option it chose.
Mr. Scordo said that the 80-foot-tall sign proposed by the Valentines blends in with surrounding land features, including a cellphone tower and high-tension power lines.
It is so tall because the Valentines want the sign to be visible if adjacent sites are developed further, according to Mr. Scordo.
But according to Planning Board Co-Chairman Thomas E. Boxberger, who helped write the letter to the ZBA, the sign flies in the face of the aesthetics that the town has endeavored to enforce in the area.
The proposal for larger and taller signage is clearly NOT in harmony with what has occurred in the Town and in clear violation of the regulations and intent of those regulations. The Town has been recognized for the attractiveness of signage along the NYS Routes 3 and 12F at Local Government Conferences, and the proposed signage would undo much of that, the letter read.
The Planning Board also wrote that granting a variance for the taller and larger sign would set a dangerous precedent for new businesses and existing businesses proposing new signage.
Mr. Scordo said the Valentines dont agree with that assessment, as they feel their situation is unique because of the unforeseen DOT regulations.
At last Wednesdays ZBA meeting, the issue was tabled until next month so the developer and the Valentine brothers could regroup to see whether a compromise on the sign could be reached, according to Mr. Wormwood.
He said he doubted the ZBA would grant the variance.
If the Valentines decide to continue their appeal, they will appear before the ZBA again on Nov. 6.
The Valentine brothers could not be reached for comment.

|The Morning After; Cleaning Up, Drying Out
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 31 January 2013 12:19
The High Country is bouncing back quickly from the heavy rains and flooding that hit the area mid afternoon yesterday, causing evacuations and shelters to open while emergency services dealt with swift water rescues and a major propane leak. This morning, mud and slush
were being swept and shoveled out of and around many homes, apartments and businesses, with still a number of roads nearly impassable. Winklers Creek Road was one of those, with the road still almost completely covered with water at several points, and residents of roads off of Winklers Creek reporting their roads impassable. Still, the relatively few power outages that occurred were dealt with and road repairs taken on by DOT and various town crews.

|WHS Continues To Struggle
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Saturday, 23 March 2013 12:50
For Watauga High baseball coach Pete Hardee, it's seems to be a recurring dream. The Pioneers (2-7 overall; 1-4 Northwestern 3A/4A Conference) just keep finding ways to lose.
And no matter what the veteran skipper does, it just doesn't seem to work. The Pioneers committed four costly errors Friday night. They coughed up three unearned runs, and in turn, wasted a marvelous effort by Ryder Jones in a 3-1 loss to Hibriten at Hagaman Field in Lenior, N.C. Jones, a right hander, went the distance, scattered five hits and struck out eight. But a throwing error by right fielder Jesse Illich in the first inning, an error by second baseman Andrew Miller in the third, and a throwing error by shortstop Utah Jones in the sixth, plated three runs, giving the Panthers their first win against WHS in seven tries since the schools became NW3A/4A Conference foes in 2009-10."We just had a few more breaks than they did tonight," said Hibriten coach Terry Henthorne. "We should really still be playing. (Ryder) Jones is a pretty good pitcher. We just wanted to go deep in the count against him. We wanted him to make a lot of pitches. And we wanted to put the bat on the ball, something we haven't done in recent games."The Panthers (4-4; 2-3) also snapped a three-game losing streak, and now find themselves in a four-way tie for third place with Hickory, Fred T. Foard and St. Stephens. The loss knocks WHS into last place. It's the first time the Pioneers have been mired in last place this deep in the season since 2002 (the Pioneers finished last that year with a 3-7 record in the old NW4A Conference, but reached the conference finals before they lost to Alexander Central)."It's frustrating," Hardee said. "We're just making too many mistakes, and they're coming at critical times in the game. I really thought Ryder pitched well enough to win tonight. But we let him down offensively and defensively."Left hander Jon Curtis (3-1) held the Pioneers in check. He gave up one run, unearned, scattered two hits, walked one and struck out ten. He now has 55 strikeouts in four league appearances, and Curtis is making a strong argument for Pitcher of the Year honors in the NW3A/4A."That guy is nasty," Hardee said. "I was watching him warm up, and I knew runs were going to be tough to get. He does a good job moving the ball around. He really kept us off balance. We hit the ball pretty well a couple of times against him, but the guy never got rattled. He shut us down when he had to."The Pioneers left three men on base, two in scoring position. Leading 1-0, Curtis pitched out of a jam in the third. Jesse Illich led off the frame with a double to left field. He moved to third on a wild pitch with nobody out. But Curtis got Utah Jones on a pop fly to first, and he struck out Chance Richards and Tyler Jones to end the inning."He's been through episodes like this before," Henthrone said. "He knows what to do. And it's been a tough week for him. Jon lost his grandfather on Thursday right before practice, and our guys rallied around him. Jon is a humble kid. He's really worked hard, and he's made himself a good high school pitcher."Curtis has attracted interest from Brevard College, UNC-Asheville, and Catawba Valley Community College, which according to Henthrone, "would love to have him." But the Pioneers finally broke through in the fourth.Ryder Jones led off with a single, moved to second on a walk to Mason Illich, and he reached third on a fielder's choice by Tyler Sturgill. Jones eventually scored on a throwing error by catcher Dylan Hamel. Tripp Taylor, a courtesy runner for Sturgill at first, stole second base. Hamel's throw sailed into center field and Jones scored easily from third. Taylor raced to third on the play. That made it, 2-1. But with the tying run just 90-feet away with one out, Curtis struck out designated hitter Clay Mizner and he retired Carson Isaacs on a ground ball to second base to end the inning. WHS never threatened again. Curtis retired nine of the last ten men he faced, five of those by strike out. Mason Illich reached on a two-out error in the sixth, but was stranded at first base.Ryder Jones (1-2) wasn't too shabby, either. The right hander retired eight men in a row during one stretch (between the third through the sixth innings). Carson Poarch snapped the streak with a one-out single in the sixth. And that single handed Hibriten a much-needed insurance run.Poarch left the game after he was hit in the shoulder by Jones on a pick-off attempt sliding back into the bag at first. Jordan Sherrill came on as a pinch runner. Sherrill moved to second base on a throwing error by Sturgill, and he scored one out later, on Utah Jones' throwing error on a tough play between second and third. Jones ran the ball down moving to his left, but his throw skipped by Chance Richards at first as Grayam Austin reached safely on the play. The throw sailed into foul territory allowing Sherrill to score all the way from second base for a 3-1 lead."It was a tough play," Hardee said. "But we're not getting the breaks right now. And we seem to run into the other team's ace pitcher every Friday night. But that's no excuse. We've got to find some answers pretty quick. And we've got to keep working. There's nothing else we can do."Saturday's scheduled game with Charlotte-Providence was rained out. It's been rescheduled for Saturday, April 13. The Pioneers, who haven't played a home game all year, will be on the road again Tuesday night when they venture to St. Stephens. Coverage begins at 6 p.m., on Classic Hits 100.7 FM.

I'm not the biggest fan of Stephanie's or Stephi's because I think people go more for the real estate than for the food. But I did go to a wonderful graduation luncheon in Stephi's private room a few months ago and had a really wonderful time. That being said, I also love, love, love the South End and am looking forward to wandering around there this weekend!

CLEVELAND -- Spring is in the air in Cleveland.
Among the scents of flowers and spring rains, there is something else: the pungent odor of decaying fish.
You may have noticed the smell if you've been downtown or near Lake Erie this week.
The smell is from thousands of dead fish -- shad -- washing up on shore.
The annual shad die-off is underway all along the lakeshore. But take heart, Clevelanders. The smell gets far, far more intense as you head East, all the way to Buffalo.
Biologists say this is a natural event caused by temperature changes that the shad cannot withstand.
"They're very sensitive to temperatures and they don't do good when temperatures change a lot,"said CareyKnight."They're very oily and break down and be kind of smelly. You probably want to keep your dogs away from them."
Knight says the shad pose no threat and are a food source for many different animals including other fish, herons, ducks and gulls.
Eventually, the fish will decay away, taking the smell with them.

(NBC) - BP has agreed to settlement for the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The oil company will pay billions in fines, on top of clean up and recovery costs already paid.
"This marks both the largest single criminal fine, more than $1.25 billion dollars, and the total largest criminal resolution, $4 billion, in the history of the United States," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder noted after announcing the settlement.
BP will plead also guilty to 14 felony charges for its role in the Deepwater Horizon incident, the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
Among the most serious are 11 counts of misconduct or neglect that led to the deaths of 11 crew members the night of the fiery blast and well collapse that triggered the spill.
Additional charges include obstruction of justice for lying to Congress about the amount of oil that poured out of the well for months, closing beaches and keeping shrimpers, fishermen and so many others who made their living in the Gulf off the water and without work.
In a written statement BP responded to the agreement saying in part:
"We apologize for our role in the accident, and as today's resolution with the U.S. government further reflects, we have accepted responsibility for our actions."

I'm breaking my own rule. The one that says it's not finished until it's blocked. But it's Sunday, Maggie's Tomten is done, she's home and we had time for a photo shoot. We'll call it "finished" and I promise it'll get a bath tonight. Can I show you all the pictures?
In my previous post about this sweater, I mentioned some of the modifications I've made to the pattern. Another mod I made besides those already detailed is that I decreased the sleeves to 32 sts, instead of 28 as directed. Then I added that little loopy at the back of the neck with i-cord that you can see in the last two pictures. Don't ask how I did it, because I don't think I could replicate it if I tried.* Also, when I finished the pockets, I put the stitches from threads onto a needle, but didn't bind off right away; I knit three more ridges then bound off. The pockets are nice and deep.
*Essentially what I did: I marked the center back stitch, and when I got that point in the i-cording I stopped attaching it and knit the i-cord for about 10 rounds. Then I flipped it around and attached it again (this is the part I cannot replicate) and continued i-cording as before. When I was weaving in my ends, I tacked the loopy down so that it would stay in place.
The sweater is big on Maggie. I hope it doesn't look too big, my goal was that it would fit now and fit next year (and fingers crossed, the year after). Seeing as she has nearly outgrown the jeans that I bought her in August, I won't hold my breath. This Tomten has room for growing, but please don't grow too quickly, mkay?
Tomten project page on Ravelry
So that's the Tomten! It was exactly the knitting project I needed after knitting all those socks a few weeks ago. But now I must face the music and get started on all those Christmas ideas I have. Balls anyone?

It seems to be the beef between Adobe and Apple is not that too as Adobe recently has released an updated Express app of Photoshop for the iPad and iPhone from Apple.
The app, already available on the handsets of Android, has changed its name to Photoshop Express from Photoshop Mobile. This is the first to be much compatible with the iPad from Apple. And it contains a large screen which should help to make editing photo easier.
There also exists a user interface which is updated for the Photoshop Express by Adobe for the iPad and iPhone from apple, and visually it is quite a lot pleasing.
Do not expect that it will be having all the features of the Photoshop of desktop fully, as this iPhone app from apple enables only the very basics such as rotation, cropping and another few effects. Still, it has been a very solid way in case of editing photos of yours on your go.
I also think it was summed up by a farmer best in the review he made on iTunes: If you expect features like Photoshop, then this app must be forgotten. What so ever, if you search for basic transforming and editing of pictures on the iPhone, this very app is truly cool. And above all it is absolutely free!
The Express app of Photoshop makes its presence just being the relationship between Apple and Adobe and it continues being tenuous, at its best. The crux of that very beef is such that Apple has no desire for having Flash on iPad or Unlocked iPhone4 from apple just because Steve Jobs has got a pretty strong belief that in case of issues of performance it is actually not at all right for the entire platform.
Adobe hence has countered such that the lacking of Flash could strongly hurt its business.

BUFF ENHANCEMENT MORE!!!!! Its not enough imho. Its a good start.... 4 wind-fury swings would be better.
Buffs buffs and more buffs... but where is the 5 sec stun?!
What's the reason for enhance consistently being low tier in arenas? It seems to have everything, except a stun and maybe spammable hex (like warlock fear), though resto is already OP enough.

They should make the LS glyph baseline for Elem and Enhance, and Imp GW baseline for all Shaman. That would free up some glyph slots to actually let us customize our glyphs. Imp GW should have NEVER been a glyph to begin with especially with how ferals get all their root/snare shifting for free, and the new LS glyph will become mandatory and any serious pvp player will have it so might as well make them both baseline.

NBA "Trill" Player Posters
So since the NBA season started I've seen people add the word "trill" to certain players names. I think it's hilarious to see and fun to say…so in some down time tonight I was messing around and came up with a couple simple posters highlighting the names. Check them out above.
And if you're wondering what the original names are…
Damian Trillard=Damian Lillard(Portland Trailblazers)
Paul Trillsap=Paul Millsap(Utah Jazz)
Mike Triller=Mike Miller(Miami Heat)
Trillson Chandler=Wilson Chandler(Denver Nuggets)
Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Volleyball Advances to BIG EAST Championship with 3-1 Win over Xavier
OMAHA, Neb. - The Creighton volleyball team advanced to the BIG EAST Volleyball Tournament Championship with a 3-1 win over Xavier on Friday, Nov. 29. Creighton will face off with #24 Marquette on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 5 p.m.
With the win the Bluejays moved to 22-7, while Xavier likely ended its 2013 season at 21-11.
Creighton created separation early in the opening set with 10 of the first 14 points, but Xavier responded with five straight to get back within a point at 10-9. A service error by Xavier, followed by a kill from Kelli Browning and an attack error by the Musketeers pushed the Bluejay edge back to 13-9. The Jays went on to force Xavier into nine errors (eight attacking and one service) in the first set, en route to a 25-18 win.
The second set was decided by a 11-3 run, once again characterized by Musketeer errors. Down 6-5, the Jays scored on a quick attack from junior setter, Michelle Sicner. Moving to the service line, Sicner's tough serving forced Xavier into three straight errors to give the Bluejays a 9-6 lead. Xavier appeared to regain its footing as the squads traded kills twice, but sophomore Kate Elman had other ideas. Elman served five straight points on kills from freshman Jess Bird, Browning, a Xavier error and capped by an ace to make it 16-8. The Jays took set two, 25-19, holding Xavier to a .061 hitting percentage (11 K, 8 E, 49 A).
Down 6-2 early in the third set, the Bluejays appeared to seize control with six consecutive points on a kill by Sicner, one by Lauren Smith, two Xavier errors, then kills from Sicner and Leah McNary. Xavier, however, regained the lead with a 5-2 run of their own to make it 11-10, Musketeers. Tied at 17-17, Xavier used a 4-1 run to seize control and went on to claim a 25-22 win to force a fourth set.
Once more it was a Bluejay burst that tipped the scales midway through the fourth set. Leading 11-10, Creighton rattled off seven of eight points to build an 18-11 edge. This time the Creighton run was fueled by a two McNary kills and two Smith kills. Creighton dominated the fourth set, hammering down 20 kills on 42 swings, with just two errors (.429).
Sicner set the table for her teammates with a triple-double (44 A, 21 D & 11 kills). Four other Bluejays finished with double-figure kills, Browning (13), Smith (12), McNary (11) and Bird (10).
Abbey Bessler led the way for the Musketeers with 13 kills.
As a team the Bluejays posted 96 digs in the match, led by 24 from Elman.
Earlier in the day the Marquette Golden Eagles advanced to the Big East Conference Tournament Championship match with a 3-1 victory over Butler. Set scores for the match were 25-18, 14-25, 25-22, 25-16.
Marquette finished with 61 kills, three aces, 71 digs and 10 blocks on .293 hitting. Four Marquette players had double digit kills. Nele Barber had 18 kills on .500 hitting to pace the Golden Eagles, while Julie Jeziorowski had a match-best 29 digs. Meghan Niemann had 13 kills on .360 hitting. Autumn Bailey and Lindsey Gosh each added ten kills. Elizabeth Koberstein dished out 49 assists.
Creighton and Marquette split two matches during the 2013 season, as the Bluejays swept Marquette in Omaha on Oct. 13. Marquette returned the favor with a 3-0 win in Milwaukee on Oct. 25.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Michael Dell wants to take his company private. And Hewlett-Packard ought to be broken up into several companies. And if you look at the earnings results that Cisco Systems reported late Wednesday you'll understand why.
In short, the business of selling hardware of any kind to corporate customers has become a tough market in which to find growth — even for a company like Cisco CSCO, +0.00% , which has a dominant share of its core markets.
It's even worse for H-P HPQ, +0.41% and Dell US:DELL , which have seen sales in their mainstay businesses of PCs and related gear collapse over the last 18 months as smartphone and tablet sales have surged.
What's worse for shareholders of Dell and H-P is that newer markets (for them) targeted to help boost growth are themselves not growing much. Read "What history says about Dell LBO."
And in those where there is some growth, large incumbent players — such as Cisco in networking or EMC Corp. EMC, +2.50% in storage gear, for example — are determined to fight to hold onto every customer to maintain their own sluggish growth rates.
Growth in tangential markets, not core ones
It's true that Cisco was able to generate substantial growth in several of its smaller markets, such as sales of Internet video gear, which surged 20% from a year earlier and now contribute 10% of overall revenue. Read: Cisco earnings beat targets on small sales gain
Yet other markets in which it's finding growth, including wireless gear, which rose 24% annually, and data center products, which surged more than 60%, still contribute less than one-tenth of Cisco's overall revenue.
Cisco's largest markets, meanwhile, continue to generate meager combined growth, with sales of switches rising 3% and router sales falling 6% year-over-year. Add it all up, and you get overall sales growth of 5%.
That's not a disaster for Cisco shareholders, of course, because the company's profit margins are two to three times that of either H-P's or Dell's in various product categories.
That a hardware company of Cisco's size is generating any growth in the current spending environment — and also paying a dividend — has kept it in enough favor with both value and income investors to support a 25% rise in the stock over the last three months.
But if you look at a three-year or five-year chart for Cisco, Dell or H-P, you'll see that being an investor in enterprise hardware has not been rewarding — notwithstanding the recent surge of all three stocks.
By contrast, companies such as EMC and IBM IBM, +0.07% , which years ago began to focus on services and software, rather than hardware, have provided their investors with sizable capital gains.
No growth here, slow growth there
That brings us back to Dell and H-P, which have been trying and mostly failing for several years now to enter new markets as PC sales growth disappears. Both companies will report their own results for the January quarter next week.

With all precincts reporting results from Tuesday's voting, Sen. Lisa Murkowski trails her lesser-known rival Joe Miller by 1,668 votes.
But thousands of absentee ballots have yet to be counted.
The state sent out about 16,000 of them, and nearly half that many had been returned by Monday. But absentee ballots postmarked by election day can be received for up to 10 days after the election, so the count of outstanding mail-in votes won't begin for several days.
Murkowski is the daughter of former Alaska Sen. Frank Murkowski, who appointed her to the Senate when he became governor in 2002.
Miller is a West Point graduate who served in the Gulf War. He was endorsed by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, conservative talk show hosts and the California-based Tea Party Express.
Palin told Fox Business Network that Alaskans "are ready for some new blood."

CANTON St. Lawrence County legislators reached a consensus Monday to keep Public Health as a stand-alone department smaller because of the closing of its certified home health agency and facing the impending retirement of Director Susan J. Hathaway after being persuaded by the Board of Health, which has a plan to reshape it.
Public Health has traditionally played many roles, including care-giving. We have to continue to provide the mandated services, although we are shifting away from direct care, said Dr. Gregory J. Healey, the incoming president of the Board of Health. We remain an unhealthy county. We want to avoid costly programs. We can form partnerships and see that good things happen.
County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire had started to look at combining Public Health with Community Services as has been done in a handful of other counties under a commissioner but which still requires a director of public health but told legislators she wanted to discard the idea after talking with the Board of Health.
St. Lawrence ranks 62 out of 63 counties in its health rankings, which could give Public Health an advocacy role as the Affordable Care Act kicks in, Dr. Healey said.
Although some legislators warned they did not want to hear about grants that died after several years while the programs continued at local cost, Dr. Healey said there is an opportunity for management of community resources.
If I dont come to you for more money, then you wont complain about what we do, he said. Were not going to grow the budget.
A majority of legislators agreed the idea was worth exploring.
If our costs dont increase but we can take better care of our residents, I think thats a good thing, said Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg.
The person selected will need the right qualifications because the job could include developing programs that persuade people to change their lifestyles, said Legislator Sallie A. Brothers, D-Norfolk.
An interim director is likely as Ms. Hathaway is leaving at the end of August.
Public Health combined with Community Services under the helm of Director Angela M. Doe remains a possibility for some legislators if the right candidate is not found who could steer Public Health in the direction envisioned by the Board of Health. Im not so much a structure person, said Legislator Stephen M. Putman, D-Canton. Im more a quality person kind of person.

Consumer demand for affordable smart products drives high-tech companies to continually focus on delivering lower cost, lower power and higher performance through the integration of discrete functions.
Mobile electronics, for example, rely on wireless communication systems to connect with the Internet and cellular base stations. To provide reliable connectivity, engineers need to design dependable communication systems that can support multiple standards, such as Bluetooth, WiFi and LTE. The Chip-Package-System (CPS) design methodology from ANSYS can help engineering teams achieve these objectives by enabling high-tech companies to model, simulate, analyze and verify complete electronics systems.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Most people probably went about their business yesterday like it was any other day on the calendar. And the farther we get away from Dec. 7, 1941 that is likely to happen more and more.
The people who lived through that day as cognizant adults will always remember it, much like younger generations remember Nov. 22, 1963 (John F. Kennedy's assassination), Jan. 28, 1986 (Challenger Space Shuttle explosion) or Sept. 11, 2001. Note that I spelled out the first two but not the last one, because like that Dec. 7 date it was a universal experience.
But if there is a day that defines a generation, the group of people most of us call the greatest generation, that is the day. You would think we would be more prone to associate those who were there when VE Day took place (May 8, 1945) or VJ Day (August 14, 1945) happened. That was the culmination of a war in which the greatest generation saved the world from tyranny. But instead we mark the day when a dastardly sneak attack took place on Pearl Harbor. That's probably because of the shock that the event gave the people of the United States. For 200 years we had been protected by vast oceans from those that would invade; now the Japanese Empire was at the door and no one knew what they would do or if the west coast could even fend off an attack if it happened.
Now the actual memories of that day reside only in the minds of citizens over 75 years old. And for those that faced the brunt of the attacks, ramifications are all over 80. Based on figures of induction ages in 1941, the youngest any U.S. citizen at the time could be that actually fought in World War II and is alive today would put them at the age of 84. Some, however, slipped into the service at a bit younger age so we could go down to 83 or maybe even 82.
Each day we lose the cogent memories of that day as our elderly citizens and veterans pass away. But based on surveys of people younger than 40, many can't even tell interviewers between what years World War II was fought, nor whom the United States was fighting at the time.
It is a sad commentary that so many gave their lives and everything they loved so a group of people years later could forget about what they did.
Time does heal all: but it also hurts those that deserve it the least.

The Ogdensburg City School District will put Sherman Elementary School on the market after it closes June 30.
At Mondays Board of Education meeting, members unanimously voted to close the school one year ahead of schedule to save money, in hopes of offsetting reductions in state aid and cost increases.
The building will be appraised and marketed after it closes.
Previously the district planned on closing Sherman and Lincoln elementary schools in June 2014, following the completion of a building project at John F. Kennedy Elementary School to make room for those schools students.
But in the fall Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey said the district could save $100,000 by closing Sherman ahead of schedule.
At Mondays meeting officials said the district stood to save roughly $150,000 in utility fees and salaries.
Sherman, which houses students from kindergarten to second grade, will send students to Lincoln and Kennedy in the fall.
Second-graders will move directly to Kennedy.
Kindergartners and first-graders from Sherman will be sent to Lincoln until it closes next year. After that, they will move to Kennedy.
The Sherman Elementary School building was originally built in 1895 and housed students up to sixth grade.
Following a fire in 1951, the school dropped sixth grade, and later was converted to house students only up to second grade.
The building is in good shape, Mr. Vernsey said.
Its got new roofs; weve done masonry work, Mr. Vernsey said.
Mr. Vernsey said the Board of Education has the responsibility to sell the building, but any potential revenue has not been figured into the districts 2013-2014 budget.
An asking price remains to be seen, Mr. Vernsey said.
If theres no interest over a period of time that would probably drive down the value of the building, he said.

Two Saybrook School of Mind-Body Medicine Students Study Healing Traditions of China in Memorable Visit: Introducing Pegi Black and Mary Singler12/13/2012
Pegi Black and Mary Singler are both nurses and PhD students in the Fall 2010 cohort in Saybrook University's School of Mind-Body Medicine. Together, they traveled to China for their School of Mind-Body Medicine practicum experience. They joined the small delegation from the People To People Ambassador's Healing Traditions of China program led by Lucia Thornton, a prior President of the American Holistic Nurses Association. Initially, Dr. Norman Shealy, a pioneer in holistic health who earned a doctorate in humanistic psychology from the "Saybrook Institute," was to be Ms. Thornton's co-leader. However, at the last minute Dr. Shealy was unable to attend.
School of Mind-Body Medicine Graduate Participates in Research Investigation of an Application of Emotional Freedom Techniques for Trauma: Marisa Iacobucci, MS12/06/2012
Saybrook's Mind-Body Medicine Program began in the fall of 2009, and since its inception several students have earned a Master's degree in Mind-Body Medicine. As students continue to graduate and make their mark in the world, it is inspiring for other students to learn about their passions and paths.
Marisa Iacobucci was one of 16 students in the first cohort and completed her Master's degree in Mind-Body Medicine in January 2012. Marisa decided to pursue a Master's in Social Work (MSW), after completing her degree, as it is her intention to work with veterans and their families as well as individuals with chronic pain and illness. While she was finishing her degree at Saybrook she began to look into MSW programs. At the same time, she participated in an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) training at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The training was taught by Carol Look (http://www.attractingabundance.com/eft/about-carol/) over a three-day weekend and included the basics of EFT and its value in treating trauma in individuals.
Closing the Circle: MBM Student Michelle LaMasa-Schrader Completes Three-Part Clinical Practicum12/04/2012
The PhD Practicum is an exciting part of completing a PhD in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University, and for Michelle LaMasa-Schrader the Practicum is where she stepped into the role of "Doctor of Mind-Body Medicine." Michelle describes her transformation into a mind-body practitioner as a calling, something deeper than creating a new career path. Through study and numerous experiential activities she has embodied the work that she champions deep into her soul. Michelle reflects that many of the courses in her PhD program have impacted her on a profoundly personal level. During courses such as the "Spirituality and Health" course she chose to use the opportunity to deepen her relationship with her husband. She created a spiritual ritual that has strengthened their personal relationship, an unexpected gift from her graduate education.

Kelsey Menehan found her way to Saybrook University through the Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM).

Kelsey has always been interested in spirituality, and perhaps that is a hint of what attracted her to the CMBM.
