Ten years after the invasion of Naboo, the galaxy is on the brink of civil war. Under the leadership of a renegade Jedi named Count Dooku, thousands of solar systems threaten to break away from the Galactic Republic. When an assassination attempt is made on Senator Padmé Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo, twenty-year-old Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker is assigned to protect her. In the course of his mission, Anakin discovers his love for Padmé as well as his own darker side. Soon, Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan Kenobi are drawn into the heart of the Separatist movement and the beginning of the Clone Wars.

Ten years after The Phantom Menace, Senator Padmé Amidala has become a target for assassination as she attempts to prevent the Republic from falling apart, leading young Jedi Anakin Skywalker to protect (and fall in love with) her and his master Obi-Wan Kenobi to find out who's behind the conspiracy.
Being a prequel, most of the story is almost entirely devoid of suspense. We know that the Evil Empire will replace the Galactic Republic; that Anakin will become the villainous Darth Vader; and that the children born to Anakin and Padmé, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, will eventually become their father's sworn enemies. Still, the movie has an interesting tale to tell on the way to reaching that destination. It begins with an assassination attempt against Padmé, the beautiful queen of the lush planet Naboo, who has given up her throne to become a galactic senator. Obi-Wan and Anakin are appointed to be her bodyguards and foil a second attempt, though the assassin is shot dead just as she's about to name her employer (of course.) Thereafter, the movie divides into parallel narratives as Anakin escorts Padmé to Naboo for her safety and Obi-Wan heads off to investigate the rain-lashed planet of Kamino, where an army of clone warriors is being manufactured in secret, apparently for the good of the Republic. This dual narrative enables director George Lucas to reduce the contemplative mumbo-jumbo that weighed down The Phantom Menace to a minimum by cutting to whatever storyline has action going on. And there's plenty of action going on.
The stellar performance of the movie is Ewan McGregor's as Obi-Wan Kenobi. You can feel Ewan almost channeling Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan in Episode IV), as he's matured into his Jedi robes, with an all-pervasive sense of solemnity and calm surrounding his persona. That's despite the almost B-movie grade dialogue throughout the entire movie. Hayden Christensen (Anakin) and Natalie Portman (Padmé) can't rise above their often clunky lines (of everyone, they're stuck with the worst dialogue), but Portman is better than Christensen. Christensen often falls prey to the dark side of drama, as he overacts his character's more emotional lines. Looks like Lucas should have stuck with actors from the other side of the pond: the other outstanding performance in the movie is Christopher Lee as Count Dooku. A rogue Jedi, Lee's commanding voice and presence alone make him a formidable enemy. Samuel L. Jackson is good (as always) in an undemanding role as Jedi council member Mace Windu, but why is Jimmy Smits in this movie at all? One can only hope he has a much bigger part in Episode III, à la Jackson's increased role from Episode I to II.
Where once there was an element of surprise in the later movies, there is now a feeling of inexorability. The film's biggest laugh comes from our intimate knowledge of the subject matter--Obi-Wan's exasperated remark to his reckless sidekick Anakin: ''You'll be the death of me.'' That's the best of the dialogue, which isn't Lucas' forte. The diverging plot lines and the rich, expansive and incredibly beautiful scenery and planets--not to mention the constant action--almost make up for Lucas' deficiency with the spoken word. There are many scenes that echo those from other famous movies (Gladiator, Blade Runner, The Searchers, to name but a few), but Lucas makes these vignettes his own, and they only serve to further the story. Plus, no one can make a movie that looks so wondrous as Lucas, which is his forte. From computerized beasts to storm-ridden water planets to out-of-this-world aliens, the imagery is real and engaging. Then there's the action. Suffice it to say that, after Yoda reveals his potent fighting side in a duel with Count Dooku, the audience nearly gave a standing ovation. The rapid-fire pacing (once you get past the first third of the movie) and astounding visual effects, both big and small

The Victims Assistance Center of Jefferson County is well known for the help it provides to women and children in the midst of a domestic violence situation. Now its lesser-known arm of support for the homeless is getting a boost.
Executive Director Elaina F. Marra said the agency was recently given an $800,000 state grant to help cover the cost of its new $1 million shelter and some of the shelters basic supplies, because the 20-bed supportive housing unit provides a safe place for people who are homeless. The center was one of seven groups that received funding through the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistances Homeless Housing and Assistance Program.
There are people in our community and Jefferson County specifically women and children – that often need a place to stay for reasons other than domestic violence, Ms. Marra said. Its been that way since 1998. Throughout the years weve been able to take homeless individuals in our shelters. We see more for domestic violence, but we do see a reasonable amount of homeless individuals. We always have to be prepared. That makes this an essential need.
The agency, she said, has a goal of allowing people a maximum of 90 days. While she said every case is different, an average stay tends to be between 10 and 21 days.
Clients will be able to get a good nights sleep on a new, comfortable bed, as the agency was the recipient in December of a donation of about 20 Tempur-Pedic mattress and box spring sets. Assistance also came from the Northern New York Community Foundation, which gave the agency $10,000 toward the cost of the shelter.
Paid staff operate the shelter, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Volunteers, who go through a mandated 40-hour training workshop, help bring people to the shelter.
According to a news release from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, the state has invested $161 million in the past two years in supportive housing as part of the Medicaid Redesign Teams efforts to help rein in costly Medicaid expenditures while more effectively managing the chronic conditions of more than 4,000 high-need New Yorkers.
Ms. Marra said she hopes the new shelter will help clients move toward a more violence-free life.
People with questions about the shelter can call the agency from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, or anytime through its 24-hour hot line, 782-1855.

Baby Swimming
Babies are comfortable in the water as long as they feel safe. We've worked with the British Association of Paediatricians to develop this guidance on the best way to introduce your baby to swimming.
You can use bath time as a way to get your baby used to the water. Keep bath time short, reassure your baby by smiling, talking to them and maintaining eye contact.
From an early age babies will instinctively move arms and legs when immersed in water and you can use this to make them familiar with feeling supported and feel water on their face.
The benefits of baby swimming
Taking your baby swimming for the first time can be a slightly daunting experience for most parents. Are they too young? Will they enjoy it? Will the water be too cold? Usually you will have a plethora of questions bounding around you mind, but for the most part, there is nothing to worry about.
Experts at the ASA and paediatricians would usually recommend that a baby starts swimming at around six months old, but you can always start to get them prepared before they go to the pool. You can use the bath to get them used to the feeling of being immersed in water.
Swimming is one of the few sports that are accessible to everyone, regardless of age or ability, and there are many benefits to general health and wellbeing. Here are a few of the main benefits of swimming for babies:
- Swimming is one of the best loved family activities. It is the largest participation sport in the UK and many children say it is their favourite family pastime, so it's good to get them started early to build water confidence.
- Swimming helps to improve coordination and balance. Because much of your baby's body is supported by water, the main focus for them is on maintaining balance. On the whole, babies who swim have a much better balance out of the pool.
- Swimming helps to build muscles. Working and strengthening all of their muscles effectively helps to make them stronger.
- Swimming provides quality bonding time. We always have less time that we would like with our kids; it is an unfortunate effect of being so busy. Time in the pool is one of the few times when your child has your undivided attention for the duration, so make the most of it.
- Swimming strengthens your baby on the inside. While swimming will help to develop their muscles and joints, it also improves the strength of their heart and lungs, and helps to develop their brain.
- Swimming can improve their sleeping pattern. While it isn't going to make them sleep through the night every night, the extra exercise will help to make your baby sleepier.
- Swimming can improve a baby's appetite. Lots of gentle exercise and warm water helps to make a baby hungry, so make sure you have some sort of snack or bottle for after they finish.
- Swimming builds water confidence. Many parents pass on an uneasiness of water to their children because they themselves are not confident swimmers. Going in the water with your baby will not only make them more assured about being in and around water, it can build your confidence too!
There are many different ways of introducing your baby to the water, whether that be in a public pool session with you, or in baby swimming lessons, either way it is the best place to develop your child's physical abilities and improve their understanding of water safety.
Moving to the swimming pool
When you go swimming with your baby try to:
- Submerge your baby to shoulder level or ensure they are wearing a full suit. Babies out of the water will soon become cold.
- Watch your baby's face so it does not fall below the water and so you can monitor their reactions.
- Keep moving – your baby becomes aware that by moving their arms and legs they will stay afloat.
Developing water confidence
We have developed the ASA Learn to Swim Pathway to take children through their first splash to full competence in the water.
Our two schemes introduce the swimming environment through fun and games, with the emphasis on development of basic motor skills.
Swim a Song
Swim a Song has been created by the ASA, in conjunction with Total Swimming, to teach water safety and movement through structured play and exercise to music. Check out the video left for an introduction.
Track down your local pool with our Pool Finder and ask them if they deliver Swim a Song lessons.
If not, the Swim a Song Parent Pack contains everything you need to get started: an explanatory booklet, a CD of 32 songs, a sticker sheet, progress chart and a towel.
Duckling Awards
Our Duckling Awards reward your youngster for the progress they are making with certificates and badges to mark their achievements and motivate.

Temporarily Out Of Stock
Item # APN0053
Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Men's Long Sleeve Mountain Bike Jerseys we have in stock.
Alpinestars Drop Jersey - Long-Sleeve - Men's $0.00
Light protection meets warm-weather jersey.
The Alpinestars Drop Long-Sleeve Jersey bridges the gap between lightweight jersey and body armor with an advanced mid-weight polyester fabric that provides a bit of abrasion protection while regulating temperature to keep you comfortable.
The Drop Jersey was designed to provide a bit more protection than a standard jersey. The
advanced mid-weight polyester fabric pulls moisture away from your body to keep you dry and
comfortable, even in the heat of the summer. Alpinestars also designed
the Drop Jersey with cooling mesh panels on the front and back that push hot,
stale air out and allow fresh, cool air to flow in and around your
torso, especially when you're wearing a backpack or hydration pack.
The Drop's elongated lower back profile protects you from the sun and
prevents unwelcome exposures. Alpinestars also included
a terry cloth patch on the hem for cleaning your eyewear. There's a
side pocket for your phone or MP3 player with a headphone cord conduit,
and a hook on the collar securely fastens your headphones to keep them
form getting snagged.
The Alpinestars Drop Long Sleeve Jersey comes in Bright Green/white, Yellow Fluo/black, White/black and is available in sizes Small to XX-Large.

Great Jersey.
A super great Jersey, that fits great it fits longer and isn't to baggy not super breathable but makes well for a fall jersey I'm 6'4" 215lbs.
Michael Ryan
Great Fit/Feel, But Color Is Off
Overall its a great fit/feel of a jersey. Loose enough to give you some breathing room, but not too baggy where it looks like you're wearing a garbage bag over you. Has the right amount of snugness around the neck. My only complaint is the red is more like a burnt orange (see pic for reference). And that's the reason I gave it 3 stars.

The rumor that Open Street Map will be replacing Google Maps as Apple's default mapping application looks inevitable. Given the symbiotic relationship that Google and Apple have enjoyed for so long, you can't help but speculate about what this means to the future of Google's spirit of cooperation on the app front.
Google has always been willing to develop Apple-friendly app versions of their products, but now Apple appears to be invading Google territory with Open Street Map.
It looks like Google has a couple of ways to respond. They can take their apps and go home, or show Apple they ain't seen nothing yet for iOS. Of course, as a third option, Google could keep letting Apple decide where their apps are welcome and where they are not. That just doesn't sound like Google.
Here is some speculation (with a heavy dose of opinion) about how Google might be able to create a little independence from Apple and give Apple users Google alternatives.
Google Maps
Google might want to take this opportunity to develop its own third-party iOS-compatible map application. It would give them complete control over how their product is used and what goes into the iOS version. Google's balancing act would be to provide a map app that Apple users want to use more than their parent's version, and be just short of what they'd get with Android so they'd consider making the switch. Of course, Google has to walk the thin line of keeping Android users at home, too.
The opinion around here is that Google should show up Apple. Google would have more control over their maps app on the iOS platform, and not lose advertising dollars. Google should give its Android users an app that has better navigation than anything Apple's loyalists can expect. Android losing users to iOS has been the trend for too long. It's time to show Apple how good they really are at maps.
Google Drive
Google Drive is a strong competitor for Apple's iCloud and Dropbox combo, but all Google seems to have done is rename Google Docs as Google Drive. Regardless of its name, if Apple wanted to create some competition for Google Drive, they'd have to at least marry iCloud and iWork.
Google has an iOS version of Drive in the works. Again, the challenge is how to design the app to entice Apple users to use it, and get some of them to switch to Android because of what they can only get with Android. It would come down to Google being able build a better Drive, something we haven't heard is on the agenda right now.
There's another twist to Google's dilemma. Unlike Maps, Drive has a lot of competition. Although Drive is a nice all-in-one package, other apps have features that Drive doesn't. Google has to give Apple users the full-featured Drive; otherwise they already have other places to go.
Google Music
There is nothing else out there like Google Music. Upload your entire music collection right from iTunes, and access it from anywhere you can get on the Web – your phone, your tablet, your computer, or someone else's computer. Really it's more of a question of where you can't access it.
Now that we've established that Google's product outshines anything Apple offers, would it be worthwhile to Google to design an iOS version?
Consider first what being a Google Play user means. When you want to buy new music, you press the Google Play button in Google Music and go right to the Google Play Store. While you can upload the music you purchase on iTunes to your Google Music account, Apple isn't going to make it easy to buy anything from the Google Play Store. There's no referral money in it for them, and they'd lose their own iTunes sales.
If Google were to release a Google Music app for iOS, instead of buying their music in iTunes and transferring it, Apple users would buy their music from Google via the Web. Besides, while Apple charges a subscription fee for iTunes Match, it's free to sync your music to you Google Music account. There's no reason to make the extra effort to buy music on iTunes, and only to transfer it to Google Music.
There is the loss of ad money to consider if they create a Google Music client on iOS, but we're sure Google is taking a hard look at its options on this one.
Google Chrome
There is really no competition out there for Google Chrome. It's the best browser choice on any platform. Other competitors have tried to topple Google, but no one has come close. When you want to do a search, you "google it", you don't "bing it" or "yahoo it." Does Apple (or anyone else for that matter) have any hope of competing with Google on the browser front?
Google has been cranking up their investment in Chrome. What Google created on the Web, they've duplicated for mobile with Chrome for Android. Now, with their minimalist approach to operating system design, Google has got Microsoft looking over its shoulder with Chrome OS for devices like tablets and netbooks.
Google defined "search engine", and it's doing that very successfully for other platforms. There just doesn't seem to be any reason for Google to share it with Apple and iOS.
Google could consider going after Safari Mobile with a Chrome iOS that is as full-featured as the Android version. There's an inherent problem with making this effort though. With Android you can set Chrome OS as the default browser. Everything you do with the web will be done through Chrome if you want it that way. With iOS, Safari would be the default and the user would have to make the manual switch to Chrome with each search.
Again, Google knows its stuff when it comes to this product. Google is probably already in the game on this one.
Final words
We're probably not telling Google anything they don't already know. They have had a good thing going with Apple for awhile now, but the app game is changing very quickly. Hardware and software keep out-doing one another, so there is plenty of room for new directions. One of those might be making a bigger effort at crossing platforms with some of Google's mainstays like Maps, Music, Drive and Chrome. They are all well-designed products, and a couple of them have no serious competition.
Go for it Google. We like choices!

The state attorney general has charged the owner of nine Tebbs Headshops, including one in Watertown that has closed, with evading more than $300,000 in taxes due the state.
John E. Tebbetts III, 34, Rome, faces a single count of second-degree grand larceny and two counts of second-degree criminal tax fraud, all felonies, according to a statement issued Monday by Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman. If convicted of the charges, Mr. Tebbetts, who ran a store in Northland Plaza on Eastern Boulevard, faces up to 15 years in prison.
Mr. Schneiderman said the charges resulted from a three-year investigation conducted by his office and the state Department of Taxation and Finance. It is alleged that from March 2007 to September 2012, Mr. Tebbetts collected state sales taxes on the sale of items such as herbal incense, pipes, hookahs, body jewelry and dart supplies, with all the taxes collected due the state. It is claimed that during that time, Mr. Tebbetts did not return the full amount of sales tax collected from customers in excess of $364,000, with the intent to evade the taxes due.
Mr. Tebbetts also is charged with failure to report taxable sales from his head shops for the periods between March 2007 and August 2012, resulting in sales tax liability in excess of $500,000 that was not remitted to the state, Mr. Schneiderman said.
Mr. Tebbetts has been on the attorney generals radar since August 2012, when Mr. Schneiderman brought action against Mr. Tebbetts and owners of 15 other head shops across the state, saying the businesses were selling mislabeled products, such as bath salts and window cleaner, that were actually synthetic drugs. As a result of the attorney generals investigation, Mr. Tebbetts was fined nearly $200,000 in March by state Supreme Court Judge James P. McClusky for selling mislabeled products.
He also has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, and is awaiting sentencing on a charge that he possessed controlled substances with the intent to distribute them. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison and potentially more than $5 million in fines.
Earlier this month, a Watertown man filed suit against Mr. Tebbetts and his business, claiming he suffered serious health problems after consuming synthetic drugs purchased at the Watertown store.
That suit, brought by Tyler M. Snyder, does not specify an amount being sought in damages.

Saybrook alum's new book tells the world: You Are Not Irrelevant
While studying for his psychology PhD at Saybrook University, New York City accountant Eric Kreuter learned that almost anyone can turn their life around.
Kreuter worked with Rex, a former medical student whose life had taken a turn: at 59, Rex was receiving food stamps and living with his mother. But after only four months of weekly clinical work with Kreuter, Rex was able to turn his life around for the better, and is now employed and helping to support his family.
What happened, Kreuter realized, is that he'd been able to help Rex build up his "resilience" - the characteristic that helps people bounce back from adversity. Often studied, resilience is not well understood. But Kreuter had learned something valuable about resilience, and how it's built.
"One of the things Saybrook taught me is that bad results can happen when you treat people like lab rats," Kreuter said. "The saybrook training led me not only to the case study methodology, but to the person-centered approach, viewing him as a unique human people, helping him find appropriate challenges, and encouraging him whenever he had a success, no matter how small."
Now Kreuter's written a book that shows how each of us can build up our own resilience to triumph over feelings of loss and irrelevance.
Fostering Resilience for Loss and Irrelevance explains different manifestations of loss of resilience, and how human adaptability can be enhanced through clinical, philosophical, and creative means. Kreuter looks at the role of societal pressure, influences on the construct of meaning, rehabilitating the psyche after a loss of relevance and expectations versus reality, as well as providing case studies on relevance and resilience and of building resilience through writing.
The book builds on the work of legendary psychologists such as Saybrook founder and faculty member Rollo May, as well as Erick Fromm, and Victor Frankl. It is poised to become another significant addition to the literature in humanistic psychology.
Fostering Resilience for Loss and Irrelevance is being published by Springer Science+Business Media and will be out in December.

I have already taught versioning with Git, but I think it could be more enjoyable for the guys I teach if I use another approach to teach them.
The guys I mentioned before were used to working with SVN and I tried to teach Git based on SVN. Not such a good idea. It seems that some guys/teams which use SVN need a re-education on version control when they're learning Git or another DCVCS.
In another attempt, I tried to show a scenario where a development team try to work without a (D)VCS and then I showed how their lives could be easier if they used a (D)VCS. I had the impression that part of the audience left the presentation without a clue what I was talking about.
I've taught other classes on other subjects without problems, so I think this is not a issue with me as a teacher, but with my method. I know Git and versioning as well I know the other subjects I've presented to the other classes.
So, basically, how to teach Git/DCVCS? Start with some diffs/patches and manual versioning and then teach how it can be more productive with Git? Start with Git object model? Or try to start with some pretty commands and try to save some time?
To be clear: I'm looking for approaches on how to teach DCVCS (focusing on Git) effectively, based on real experiences.

Man accused of killing boy spent time in prison for rape of 4 year old
ROSEBURG, Ore. -- Mark Vanderhoof, 50, of Roseburg, was officially arraigned on Friday for the murder of his girlfriend's two year old son.
A search of court documents has shown that he was convicted of raping a 4-year-old girl back in 1988. He served 10 years of a 20-year sentence before being released from the Oregon State Penitentiary. The documents say he had three prior convictions, all involving assaulting behavior.
Vanderhoof appeared by video arraignment Friday in a Douglas County courtroom, and the District Attorney's office amended the original charge of assault to murder, after the death of Young.
The boy, Dennis James Young, had been hospitalized since Tuesday, first at Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg before being taken to Oregon Health & Science University hospital in Portland.
The boy died at the Portland hospital just after midnight Friday morning.
Detectives met with and interviewed the boy's mother and Vanderhoof in Portland. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office took Vanderhoof into custody Wednesday on a charge of first degree assault.
Doctors reported the boy's injury was life-threatening and inconsistent with the explanation reported by Vanderhoof and his girlfriend, the boy's mother, Briana Lyn Snow, 31.
According to the affidavit for probable cause, Portland police and Douglas County Sheriff's deputies talked with Vanderhoof at the hospital and he, "admitted to striking Denis Young with sufficient force to cause the injuries to the child.
Snow was away from home Tuesday running errands while Vanderhoof watched the boy, the sheriff's office said. Vanderhoof called her and said she needed to come home right away because the boy had fallen off the front porch and hurt himself.
When she got home, she found her son unconscious and seriously injured. She called 911 for an ambulance.
Vanderhoof will have an attorney appointed for him, but no date has been set for the next hearing.
He faces possible life in prison if convicted on the murder charge.

Looking out from my office window at windswept and mostly snowless mountains of Colorado's Front Range, I'm growing increasingly impatient with the winter. Last year was tough, but I considered it a necessary penance after a hell of a winter 3 years ago, the deepest one in memory some said. But this is too much. It seems to be snowing elsewhere. Utah is deep, Cali had a great early season, the Northwest and BC continue to get dumped on, and the East marches on. Only Colorado has been slighted again. A slow start has become a slow middle, and I grow increasingly nervous. The forecast looks positive, but I'll believe it when snow is on the ground. So I bring forth an offering. Snow gods, I hope you're listening. Please accept cold cerveza from the snowy Northwest: Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale.
The perfect let-it-snow gift, Red Chair pours a brilliant copper color. Its name comes from a much-loved lift at Mt. Bachelor, Oregon. After an initial pinch of bitterness, a bright caramel malt flavor takes over with hints of honey. The brew then finishes with a tart, grapefruit-like hop characteristic. It's something you can sip on or enjoy in reasonable quantity. With this beer, Deschutes Brewing Company has created a nice tribute to a chairlift that takes skiers to the goods at its local hill. My only hope now is that the goods make it down to Colorado. Pray for snow and drink good beer.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. These articles are being prepared in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth in 1891.
While 1944 was almost all about the effects of World War II on the local area, events within Carbon County in 1945 would take the cake for headlines throughout the first half of the year.
And one story in particular would overshadow even much larger local events, a story that would be legend unto the present time.
It was the death of Marion Bliss, the Carbon County Sheriff who had been in office since the 1930s and was up until recently, the last Republican elected to office in the county.
That winter and spring death became common in the area. War news was at the front of it, with numerous young men from the area losing their lives as the Allies drove Germany back in Europe and Japan continued to resist in the Pacific Theater. But at home death was common too. The mining business plugged along, with one or two men a month in various mines dying from falling rock, runaway rail cars or other causes. But on March 14 that number increased dramatically. A blast at the Independent Coal and Coke Company mine near Kenilworth almost immediately killed three workers and within a week ended the life of three more who passed away from their burns. Then another passed away a few weeks later.
The dust blast was apparently set off when a direct current power line broke and the arc from the break ignited the dust. Altogether 16 men were on the crew and 12 of them were injured. One was able to return home almost immediately while three others stayed in the Kenilworth hospital rather than being transported to the Price Hospital. The men who died in the explosion and from injuries were David Bennett, Arthur Williams, Ivan Jensen, Gilner Nielsen, Clem Hawks and Ivan Russell Jackson. The final man who died was never identified in the Sun Advocate at the time.
But the angel of death wasn't done with Carbon County's miners. Only two months later, a mine blast at Utah Fuel mine in Sunnyside killed 23 miners. At 3:15 p.m. on May 9 a "terrific explosion"occurred in the mine. The blast took place as the day shift at the mine was preparing to leave. At the time 87 men were working in the mine. As searchers looked for other bodies as well as individuals who might have survived, methane gas became a problem.
The blast was so powerful that flames and dust were forced out of the ventilating shafts and even at the tipple, two miles away, fire and dust could be seen. It was the biggest loss of life in over 20 years in a single accident in a coal mine located in the area. The investigation started right away, but before a report could even come out in the next week's paper another miner, this time at the U.S. Fuel Company mine at Hiawatha, was killed by a coal fall. Fred Walker died while trying to remove loose slabs of coal from the face of the room he was mining in.
Those who died in the Sunnyside mine included Joe Padilla, Jim Bailey, James Gilmore, Clell Forsyth, Nick Sandoval, Jim Jardine, Pedro Gabaldon, Cornelius Corte, Henry Vradak, Virgil Stamperm Charles Nitterson, Joe Montoya, Tom Virgil, James Wycherley, John Martinez, Warren Hotchkiss, Laurence Figmora, Manuel Trujillo, Efram Manzanares, Ira Hill and Irvin Leonard. Some were not accounted for at the time of the accident.
Sadly, only three weeks later in the same mine James Chapman was killed when a mine train hauling timbers derailed and one of the timbers was forced through the cab killing Chapman instantly.
In was, however in April, that the Bliss shooting took place. He lost his life in the incident along with two ranchers, one of which was the person that originally was thought to have killed Bliss.
But the investigation revealed something different; very different from what was supposed on the day of the sheriff's death.

DENVER (MarketWatch) — John McAfee penned a yoga book in 2001 called "Into the Heart of Truth."
It contains the ramblings of a man who made way too much money, studied way too much Eastern philosophy, and then, in some absurdly cliche battle to find himself, moved to the tiny mountain town of Woodland Park, Colo., and opened a multimillion-dollar yoga retreat.
Every chapter or so, McAfee makes at least one lucid point.
"Self-observation is one of the most difficult things to master," he wrote in a book that now lists, used, on Amazon.com for a penny.
Self-observation is particularly difficult when you are rich enough to live in a reality of your own making.
McAfee, 67 years old, had made a fortune selling computer antivirus software. He then lost $100 million in the financial crisis of 2008, or so he claimed in a New York Times story.
One can't believe everything McAfee says. He is an admitted prankster.
Earlier this year, he told Denver's alternative weekly, Westword, that he was starting a chain of "observational yoga studios," where customers would relax in easy chairs and eat snacks while they watched other people doing yoga.
The self-discovery guru claimed watching yoga offered as much benefit as actually doing yoga. He said he was also applying this concept to weight training and piano playing, but hadn't, as yet, had much success with the piano.
"There is a scientific basis for this, that through osmosis, as you watch others be active, the observation of something impacts yourself," he explained to Westword in a piece that at least raised the question of whether he was kidding in its headline.
McAfee has boasted on his blog, whoismcafee.com, that this was all in good fun. He said he also had fun making phony claims about discovering a legendary mind-altering drug that had been lost to history. He said his goal was merely to get more than 1,000 posts on a blog thread, a record for the online drug-culture discussion forum, Bluelight. Read McAfee's blog.
This much seems true about McAfee: After the financial collapse, he dumped many of his assets — his yoga palace in Colorado's "City Above the Clouds," estates in Hawaii, New Mexico and Texas, his fancy cars, and even his 10-passenger plane. Then he moved to Belize, where he's now in a whole lot of trouble.
Top grossing movies of 2012
The Wall Street Journal takes a look back at top five domestic grossing films of 2012.
Belize law enforcement authorities want to question McAfee about the mysterious shooting death of one of his beachside neighbors on Ambergris Caye. Instead of answering their questions, McAfee went into hiding with his 20-year-old girlfriend.
He wrote on his blog that he fled to Guatemala, fearing Belize authorities can't protect him from shadowy forces trying to kill him. Belize Prime Minister Dean Barrow has called him "extremely paranoid, even bonkers."

This article explores how statistics can be interpreted in different ways to yield different conclusions. It describes the outcome and discussion of two class activities. In the first, the results are interpreted to "show" that taking a group rather... (View More) than an individual perspective is ultimately beneficial to the individual. In the second, a variation is added "showing" that telling the truth is better that lying. This resource is from PUMAS - Practical Uses of Math and Science - a collection of brief examples created by scientists and engineers showing how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes have real world applications.

In fairness to Strop the ball he deflected off his glove could have been a double play which could have lead to a very different end result. If he has any leash left it's probably very short.
What confuses me the most is why they didn't take advantage of this "DL" incident by sending him on a AAA rehab assignment to work out some of his kinks and more importantly prove he can return to pitching effectively. I know they did a lot of drills and simulated games to get him back on track in a controlled environment but I'm flabbergasted that they didn't take advantage of the "DL" stint to give him time at AAA.

What's up Pussycat? Özkan Özmen goes on a Portrait Safari
Özkan Özmen is a portrait photographer based in Frankfurt Germany with a penchant for photographing subjects that can bite your head off. No, we're not talking about models and celebrities with attitude here. We're talking lions, tigers, and rhinos. As Dorothy famously said to the tin man… "Oh MY!"
According to Özkan, he's always been into things that crawl, chirp, growl, and purr, and it wasn't long after he began taking shooting studio portraits for a living that he decided to put together a compact lighting kit and try his luck outside of the comforts and convenience of his studio. Özkan Ozmen's personal project ultimately took him on a multi-continent journey in which he's captured wonderful portraits of the sort of wildlife most of us only see in zoo and safari parks, though seldom as in-your-face.
Özkan understood the logistics – not to mention danger involved in trying to capture tight portraits of wild animals using lights. Still and all, rather than being technically boxed in by the harsh ambient lighting conditions common to shooting in the extreme locales he planned on visiting, his goal was to light his subjects and select-focus at wider lens apertures similar to the way he would when shooting portraits in his studio.

"Unusual traffic from your computer network"
You might see "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network" if it seems like a computer or phone on your network is sending automated traffic to Google.
What Google considers automated traffic
- Sending searches from a robot, computer program, automated service, or search scraper
- Using software that sends searches to Google to see how a website or webpage ranks on Google
What to do when you see this message
The error page most likely shows a CAPTCHA (a squiggly word with a box below it). To continue using Google, type the squiggly word into the box. It's how we know you're a human, not a robot. After you type the CAPTCHA correctly, the message will go away and you can use Google again.
Common issuesI don't see a CAPTCHA
If you don't see a CAPTCHA, try these steps in order:
- Check for malware on your computer. Malware is malicious software that can be installed on your computer without your knowledge. Some malware can cause Google to show this message. Learn how to detect and remove malware.
- Contact your network administrator. If you share a Wi-Fi network with others, like at a school or business, another computer in your network might be sending automated searches to Google. Your network administrator or IT professional might be able to locate and stop the source of the problem.
- Reset your modem or router. If you don't have a network administrator, try resetting your modem or router to see if that fixes the issue.
Once the automated searches have stopped, you should be able to search normally on Google.
Google Search blocks IPs, IP ranges, and in some cases, whole ISPs, when a large percent of the traffic entering our networks is abusive.
If the blocking started within the past few weeks, it is likely to be related to the use of the "Hola VPN" browser plugin, or a program for Mac/Win/Android/iOS. The best thing to do is to uninstall the Hola VPN from your computer or network.
If you are an Internet Service Provider (ISP), explain to your users why it is important for them to uninstall this type of VPN. When the abuse hitting our network stops, we automatically stop blocking the IP(s)/ISP(s) that were sending the bad traffic. Learn more about Hola VPNs here.
Unfortunately, sometimes non-Hola traffic gets looped in with the abusive traffic. We are working on a way to change our protections so that we'll only block Hola traffic in the future.
