Matt Bywater was the Orioles' 7th round selection in the 2010 MLB draft. He signed very close to the deadline for $195,000 and made his pro debut in 2011. He most likely would have started his career with Delmarva, but a case of the yips held him in extended spring training and the GCL and prevented him from doing so.
Bywater pitched 68.1 innings across three levels in 2012. He made five spot starts for Frederick but made the rest of his appearances out of the bullpen.

Read: The Cap Recapture Formula/CBA Problems
At ESPN.com, Pierre LeBrun detailed one of the issues in the new CBA that would punish teams for the long-term back diving contracts that they signed.
This would hit a team with a cap hit if a player still under contract retires.
The NHL proposal, according to LeBrun, wants to punish teams that have players signed longer than five years with the NHLPA proposal punishing teams that have players signed for more than seven years.
The NHL proposal from October explained their stance as "We are proposing that all years of existing long-term contracts in excess of five (5) years be counted against a Club's Cap regardless of whether or where a Player is playing. While such contracts (and Cap charges) can be traded during their terms, in the event a Player subsequently retires or ceases to play, the effective Cap charge would revert to the Club that originally entered into the contract. This proposal is consistent with our other proposals intended to address the harmful effects of long-term, front-loaded, "back-diving" contracts."
In Newsday, Arthur Staple wrote about some of the issues that teams may face when the league starts up. He spoke with Brad Richards who said "We'd love to have those problems because it means there's a deal and we're playing."

Go Fresh Rebalance Body Wash
Best for normal to dry skin that's not prone to breakouts, this body wash lathers nicely, and cushions skin as it cleanses.
Sensitive Skin Nourishing Body Wash
Despite the inclusion of fragrance, the amount is low and, overall, this is a very good, gentle formula.
Add to Faves?
Dove At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; available in every major drugstore and mass-market store; some very good body washes.
Weaknesses: The Beauty Bars are not as bad as true soaps, but all bar cleansers present problems for skin.
From its beginnings in the 1940s with its still-available original Beauty Bar, Dove has expanded and the curiously curtailed its selection of skin-care products to the point where their facial care offerings are back to nothing more than bar cleansers.
Although their Beauty Bars have their share of problems (such as containing drying ingredients and not rinsing well), they're better than traditional bar soap. However, if you can get past your propensity for bar cleansers, neighboring lines at the drugstore offer better, gentler, water soluble cleansers (the kind Dove has offered in the past).
Where Dove holds sway at the drugstore is with its vast selection of body washes. Although the formulas often differ only by fragrance, for the most part they are excellent, affordable options, especially for normal to dry skin. The body washes in their men's line aren't quite as elegant as those in the main line, and guys should know their skin will do just fine with Dove's regular body washes.
Note: All Dove products contain fragrance unless otherwise noted.

Close your eyes and think of a typical Portland band. You're imagining a group of sensitive lumberjacks playing sad-sack folk tunes on old-timey instruments, aren't you?
Ask those truly in the know—club owners, label heads, journalists, musicians, promoters, publicists, and plain old record junkies—to do the same, and they'll tell you it's an impossible exercise. That's because there is no such thing as a "typical Portland band."
Our annual Best New Band poll proves it every year. Since 2004, we've surveyed hundreds of local music aficionados, asking for their favorite breakout artists of the previous 12 months. Each year, the results confirm that our city's internationally celebrated music scene cannot be narrowed into a single sound or style.
Just look at the issue in front of you. This year's top 10, culled from more than 150 voters, features backward-gazing blue-eyed soulsters on one end and wickedly sarcastic metalheads on the other. In between, there are garage-rock bands that write ace pop songs and pop bands rocking enough to shake the siding off the average garage. There are psychedelic bands with radically different interpretations of the term "psychedelic." There's a band driven by crystal keyboards and silky grooves, another by funk-punk rhythms and ecstatic spirituality. There's even a futuristic electro-R&B diva. And there's nary a banjo or washboard among them.
As usual, we remind
you that everything about Best New Band—including the definitions of the
words "best," "new" and "band"—is subjective. We'll also save you the
keystrokes this year and admit that, yes, we're a bunch of hipsters
foisting our hipster tastes upon you. If you don't agree with this list,
well, that's good. Hopefully, it'll inspire you to get out to some
shows and come up with your own. Then the next time someone asks you
what a "typical" Portland band sounds like, you'll know it's a trick

A lot of it is very difficult to say, though, because it doesn't tend to fit into some tidy, fully self-consistent ideological framework.
And there's this weird bias I've noticed that seems to cause lots of really important points to go ignored (or even blatantly disregarded) because they can't easily be shoved into this-ism or that-ism (or because they seem to superficially contradict something "nobody would argue with", even when the points being made are a lot more nuanced than they might seem at first).
Dale Carrico puts some of what needs to be said very well in a recent post (emphasis mine):
It is not only those who go so far as to actively advocate involuntary modification who are typically described as eugenicist in my understanding. There are disciplinary pressures beneath the threshold of conspicuous coercion that will yield eugenic effects just as surely (and more efficaciously) than blatant force will do. Certainly programs of involuntary medical intervention constitute the most hideous and heartbreaking end of the eugenicist spectrum, but one can easily observe comparable homogenizing and restrictive effects arising from popular misinformation, from social stigma, from mass mediated promulgation of norms, from uncritical and inertial workings of orthodox institutional healthcare mechanisms, and so on...
Not everybody needs, as some "transhumanists" [and, I might add, others in general who claim no allegiances to any particular subculture, but whose views are essentially mainstream] apparently seem to do, to literally see a Nazi cracking a whip in the service of genocide before they will grant that even now society is conspiring unnecessarily and at great human cost to cast certain perfectly liveable and dignified and legible human capacities, morphologies, and lifeways as less-than-human, as offenses to humanity demanding "remedy" whatever those who incarnate them might have to say in the matter, and so on.
What he said.
I think a lot of people ignore the fact that the entire culture that would necessarily have to spring up in the service of enforcing "compassionate" involuntary modification would, in and of itself, comprise a terrible abuse racket. In some ways, such a culture already exists, and every time someone tries to make a claim that yet another neutral, non-deadly variation or state of being ought to be pathologized, this culture is bolstered rather than weakened.
So, sorry to rain on your utility function, but I'll have no hand in promoting the kind of culture that would have more and more people locked up for not "curing" their children of nonfatal variations, and that would perpetuate the revocation and diminishment of assistive services on the basis of a distorted, backward belief that these somehow drain the coffers of "deserving" normals.
The reality encompassing all sentient persons is huge, messy, complicated, beautiful, and yes, dangerous. Certainly, this reality could be improved in some respects, and I'm all for doing so when doing so allows more people to live outside the shadow of painful, deadly conditions (cancer, poverty, etc.). But beware the trap of feeling like good intentions alone are enough to justify whatever you do. And also beware the trap of trying to frame everything that makes you vaguely uncomfortable as an "emergency". There are enough real, deadly, actual emergencies in the world already. And the existence of a diverse range of live and conscious animals is not one of them.

An Egyptian Story (Hadduta misrija)
The critically acclaimed Youssef Chahine wrote, directed, and produced this autobiographical movie about his filmmaking career and the Egyptian political scene as it evolved at the same time he was growing and changing as a director. His memories are prompted by a moment on the operating table when he is about to go under anesthesia for heart surgery. At the core of his reminiscing is the 1952 revolution and its demise in 1967, and the relationships between his life, his work, and his country. Egyptian Story is the follow-up to his preceding Alexandria...Why?.~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Burkhardt: Marlins confident they'll sign Jose Reyes
While the Marlins might ask Hanley Ramirez to move to centerfield, in "reality", there's no way Ramirez would do it, tweets Joe Frisaro of MLB.com
Original Post, 10:40 am:
According to SNY's Kevin Burkhardt, sources say the Marlins are very confident they will sign Jose Reyes, as Miami views him as "the centerpiece of their entire offseason."
Burkardt also says Hanley Ramirez is fine with shifting positions to make room for Reyes, however he may switch to center field as opposed to third base.
Last night, Dino Costa of SiriusXM Radio said Reyes will sign with the Marlins, contingent on Hanley Ramirez agreeing to switch positions. Last week, Ramirez said he would welcome the chance to play on the same infield as Reyes.
According to MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone, as of Sunday night, the Mets and Jose's representatives had still not been in contact since he was free to negotiate with other teams.
Ramirez has never played the outfield in his professional career. In 852 Major League games, Ramirez has exclusively played shortstop. In 397 Minor League games, Ramirez played 382 at short, 11 at second base and 3 at third. His last appearance at third came in 2005 at Double A Portland.

The latest series of the 'reality' television show 'Big Brother' is currently underway within the United Kingdom. Both the format and world-wide popularity of such voyeuristic entertainment mirrors the huge variety of streaming webcams available on the internet.
Somewhat hypocritically then, many of those who enjoy watching others go about their day-to-day lives are keenly concerned about their own privacy, as evident from controversy surrounding the blurring of public and private by recent advances in mapping technology. Together with privacy worries over the increasingly sophisticated use of computerised tracking and profiling of the general public, this reflects a general concern over the perceived rise of a surveillance society.
This 'doublethink' has recently been ironically highlighted by consternation over the development of a device that enables a television set to 'see' those viewing it, thereby being able to monitor them for audience profiling purposes, and so transforming the watchers into the watchees.
From a social psychology perspective, the 'Big Brother' TV programme format is interesting as it is a 'popular psychology' take on observational studies of intra-group processes examining phenomena such as successful team formation.
Consequently, the debate over the morality of watching and being watched, and the distinction between public and private, is similarly relevant to academic research design.
If, as with the 'Big Brother' house-mates, participants are aware that they are being observed, then there is a risk that their behaviour will be subject to demand characteristics, and so become an 'unnatural' performance. Whilst covertly observing unaware participants may therefore result in more accurate findings, however, this can clearly result in studies taking place that are ethically dubious.

This is the only product that truly eliminate bad breath. This product works on the mouth and stomach where the bad breath comes from. These capsules are pleasant and effective. Highly recommended.
It restores the flow of saliva in the mouth. It freshens breath, easy to use and sugar free. The taste is pleasant. This product helps to retain some moisture. This product gives me hours of relief.
This product cleans the dirt from tongue well. It is economical and lasts long.

I have Sjogren's Syndrome which causes an extremely dry mouth & throat. I have tried several different mouth sprays to try to get relief.
Oasis Dry Mouth Spray produces the longest lasting relief for me. I spray my mouth two or three sprays before sleep & that usually keeps me from waking to sip water.
It has the best minty flavor too.

I agree with the rave reviews of Binaca Fast Blast but they seem to have discontinued it. Can't find it anywhere--even the regular Binaca spray is no longer at any pharmacies and if you try to order BFB online, it's "no longer in stock". One online pharmacy seemed to have it but wanted to tack on an additional "hazardous shipping" charge of $20!! It seems Listerine is all that's left and it's a poor substitute - at least with BFB you could see how much you have left.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A sheriff says hunters discovered the bodies believed to be two missing cousins in a secluded wildlife area about 25 miles from where they vanished in July.
Bremer County Sheriff Dewey Hildebrandt said Thursday the bodies were found in Seven Bridges Wildlife Area, a park along the Wapsipinicon River that is popular for hunting and fishing.
Hildebrandt says investigators from his office, the FBI, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and other agencies are processing the crime scene.
Authorities said hunters Wednesday discovered bodies believed to be Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook. Elizabeth was 8 and Lyric was 10 when they vanished while bike riding in Evansdale on July 13.
The bodies have been sent to the state medical examiner's office in Ankeny for identification. Authorities will release more information Thursday.
The mother of one of the missing Iowa cousins says the girls are "dancing up with our savior" after hunters found two bodies believed to be them.
Heather Collins wrote Thursday on Facebook that her family knew the outcome could be tragic when Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook went missing. She says the outcome is not "the one that we wanted," but that that God would give the family strength and comfort.
Collins thanked the community for an outpouring of support. Her Facebook posts were the family's first comments since authorities announced the discovery of the bodies Wednesday.

Parents and Mercury
Some household items may contain mercury. If a spill occurs in the home, children and adults may be exposed to mercury vapor. There are steps that parents can take to protect themselves and their children from exposures to mercury:
Certain species of fish contain mercury. Learn how your children can enjoy the benefits of a healthy diet that includes fish, while minimizing their exposure to mercury.
Learn which products may contain mercury and avoid buying products that contain mercury whenever non-mercury alternatives are available.
Recycle or otherwise properly dispose of the mercury-containing products you have in your home.
Handle products containing mercury carefully to avoid breakage or spills.
Know how to clean up a spill properly; never use a vacuum cleaner.
Knowing the potential health effects, sources of mercury and mercury alternatives will help you avoid unnecessary exposure.
The Consumers page has information about mercury which can be found in your home, at the doctor's or dentist's office, your child's school, and the fish your family eats.
- The Schools page provides information for school administrators, faculty, staff, local health jurisdictions, and parent groups on how to reduce the hazards of mercury on children's health in schools.
ATSDR Report on Children's Exposure to Mercury. A former industrial building in New Jersey used to manufacture mercury thermometers was converted in 2004 to a children's day care facility. Children and adults at the facility were exposed to residual amounts of mercury. As a result, Congress directed the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) to further investigate and characterize these kinds of exposures. Read about ATSDR's February 2009 report "Children's Exposure to Elemental Mercury: A National Review of Exposure Events".
Mercury, Thimerosal and Vaccines
Some parents are concerned about the use of thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, in vaccines. To learn more:

Forget where you are and what time it is right now. Close your eyes and set your brain as if today was at the end of July 2013.
Milk Class III price stands at $17.38/cwt; class IV at $18.90/cwt. The USDA announces the ending stocks for various dairy products (how much sits in warehouses). The ending stocks of American cheese are estimated at 710 million pounds, up from 630 million pounds in July 2012. Ending stocks for butter are at 325 million pounds, up from 250 million pounds in July 2012. For non-fat dry milk (NFDM), stocks are at 230 million pounds vs. 150 million pounds in July 2012.
In short, all major dairy products inventories are running very high: we are stockpiling dairy products.
This prompted a famous dairy economist from Wisconsin to forecast a major downward slide in milk prices, perhaps even a price crash. But here we are in early February 2014 with a January Class III price of $21.15/cwt and a Class IV price at $22.29. So was the dairy economist an idiot or what?
What happened is that the game is no longer being played in Wisconsin — or California. The U.S. has become a major dairy exporter and years of efforts by the U.S. Dairy Export Council are finally paying back.
As a percentage of total U.S. production, we are now exporting more dairy products (roughly 16 percent of national milk solids production) than corn (roughly 11 percent of national production).
Our dairy exports in 2013 increased by 18 percent in volume and a whopping 31 percent in value to reach $6.72 billion. We exported roughly 550,000 metric tons of NFDM/skim milk powder (SMP), 312,000 metric tons of cheese, and 90,000 metric tons of butterfat.
If you are like me, you have no idea how much milk is needed to make a metric ton of anything. So let me do the conversion for you.
It would take about 13.5 billion pounds of milk to make our 2013 exports of NFDM/SMP, 6.9 billion pounds of milk for our 2013 cheese exports, and 5 billion pounds to make our butterfat exports.
Mind you, these numbers are not additive: you do make both butter and NFDM out of a cwt of milk. But in all, nearly 16 percent of our total milk solids production was exported last year.
Put differently, we exported the equivalent of 31.2 billion pounds of milk, or more than the total annual milk production from New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania combined.
I have mentioned the critical role played by the U.S. Dairy Export Council in increasing our exports over time. Building up export markets for U.S. dairy products takes a lot of time. In many countries, buyers need to form strong relationships with sellers before they will commit to an order.
The U.S. had also built a reputation of being an opportunistic exporter: exporting only in times of domestic surpluses. If you are a buyer in China, Saudi Arabia or Morocco, you want to deal with a supplier who can reliably fill your pipeline.
The second problem that we face is that our major competitors (Oceania, European Union) have a freight advantage in delivering products to many of the major importing countries.
This is where the CWT (Cooperatives Working Together) is playing a pivotal role. For the last three years, CWT (primarily dairy cooperatives representing over 70 percent of the milk produced in the U.S.) has focused on providing financial assistance to the export of targeted dairy products.
In 2013, more than 80 percent of the exported American-style cheese and 50 percent of exported butter received some form of export assistance from CWT.
The positive economic impact on our domestic milk prices from our dairy exports in general, and the CWT assisted exports in particular is unquestionable.
The money set aside in CWT by dairy producers has arguably been their best investment in the last three or four years.
What if my co-op doesn't export! You still get a huge benefit. For example, most of the NFDM/SMP exports originate from California. Imagine if the equivalent of 10 billion pounds of California milk was trying to find a place on our domestic market. Do you really think that the CME cash cheese price would still be trading well above $2/lb.?
It is unlikely that the current prices will be sustained; at some point they are doomed to drop. The questions are when, how, and how much.
I really don't know when… As for the 'how', all indications are that our exports are to remain strong at least in the first half of the year. How much? I don't know, but all indications are that milk supply would start being affected with a Class III price under $18/cwt.
In short, I see excellent prices and margins in the coming months.
Adult humans do not need cow's milk any more than they need goat's milk, wolf's milk, camel's milk, giraffe's milk. Unweaned infants do remarkably better on their own mother's breast milk which is what our species was intended to consume. There's absolutely nothing beneficial to the human diet in cow's milk that can't be gotten through plant based sources.
Female cows are forcibly artificially inseminated to become pregnant and continue lactating. After 9 months, the dairy industry steals these baby calves shortly after they are born. The "worthless" males who can't make milk are either killed immediately or kept in isolation for a few months to become veal. The unfortunate females calves follow their mother's sad lot all the way to the last moments on the kill floor when they are no longer "productive".
Thankfully there's abundant plant based alternatives that are just as nutritional, just as satisfying and just as versatile in cooking. Some even have twice the amount of calcium and vitamin D as cow's milk does.
Dairy is also destructive to the environment and a tragic waste of resources. Perhaps it is time for "unweaned" adults to look beyond what deceptiveness and hype the dairy industry is pitching at you in order to keep their profits and their cruel practices in check.
Your comment is starting to sound very hollow when it has been posted verbatim on a minimum of 178 other internet comment sites over the years. So I will not waste my time to point out the numerous ways in which you are misinformed, grossly incorrect, and even malicious. Frankly, you now sound like an old broken record, and this is not meant to be a compliment…
Bea–tell me something:
How in Heaven's name is a poor family (barely scratching out a living in today's economy) supposed to get "enlightened" to what you're advocating?
Believe me–after Mommy and Poppa come home after busting their humps all day working 1-2 jobs EACH, they are in no mood to "save the planet" or "save" anything, except their own tired, worn-out hides, since it all re-sets every morning to yet another grind of daily living.
A cool, fresh glass of milk or a cup of milk-based hot chocolate is what the doctor ordered for tired and worn out souls and their children.
I have toured many dairy operations in Ohio. They are all run very humanely and efficiently. May there be some not so? Sure. The forces of the market will weed them out and they will no longer be either competitive nor productive.
Might a cow or two be mis-treated in America's dairy industry? Sure. We are all against that and it should be stopped wherever possible or known.
Hey–you are very concerned with Planet Earth, eh? You are very concerned about bovines getting "used and abused" right?
Answer me this: what about the 55,000,000 U.S. human babies killed and tossed in the trash dumpster since Roe v. Wade? Who speaks for them?
All these "animal rights" folks would trumpet the fact that a one-celled bacteria was found on Mars or the Moon. This would make earth-shaking news to them (and others.)
BUT–explain to animal rights activists that 3,562 tiny and defenseless human being are slaughtered each and every day in America alone–under the most barbaric and gruesome methods inflicting horrific pain on sentient beings–well–THAT'S another story. It has inflicted unheard of pain on grieving mothers AND fathers.
Turn inward, Bea. Start protecting your own species first. Then, we'll talk about others.
"a cool fresh glass of milk is just what the doctor ordered".
And the fact that you think that a society that exterminates babies would show ANY compassion for animals is laughable.
Google downer cows and learn something.

This project seeks to determine the personal and organizational conditions that are most conducive to the widespread adoption by community-based organizations (CBOs) of effective programs for reducing the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Taking a brief, single-session counseling program (called "Mujer Segura") that has been proven effective in reducing HIV and STIs in female sex workers who work in Mexican cities along the U.S. border, this project will study the implementation of the program in CBOs in 12 additional cities throughout Mexico to determine how best to ensure that the program remains true to the original model and retains its effectiveness. Mexico has been chosen because HIV is a global problem that respects no international borders, and because HIV prevention programs that can be implemented in settings with limited resources are urgently needed in many parts of the world.

I am a nurse, I love to do so many things: reading, card making, scrapbooking, photography, playing with my nieces, shopping, and of course TEA!
I only started drinking loose leaf tea in Dec. 2010 when I had a DavidsTea for the first time and have been obsessed ever since! My favourite is probably white but I have black every morning to wake me up! I enjoy most flavours out there! My favourite flavours are nutty, fruity, chocolate, jasmine, tropical.
Most of my teas I rate at 90 and above, and would re-stock these teas.
Anything under 90 I probably wouldn't re-stock unless I found a great price.

John Ashcroft
Associated Press
John Ashcroft is a former attorney general in the Bush administration who played a central role in the war on terror. After stepping down from the Justice Department in 2005, Mr. Ashcroft opened a Washington consulting and lobbying firm.
As the nation's chief law enforcement officer, Mr. Ashcroft played a key role in the Bush administration's aggressive effort to expand executive power in the fight against terrorism. But he also showed a willingness to stand up to the White House at critical times — most famously in a March 2004 visit to his hospital room over the wiretapping program. Mr. Ashcroft was recovering from surgery when two top White House aides came to his hospital bedside and tried to persuade him to sign an extension for eavesdropping on Americans without warrants. He refused to certify its legality.
In September 2009, a federal appeals court panel ruled that Mr. Ashcroft might face personal liability for the decisions that led to the detention of an American citizen as a material witness after the Sept. 11 attacks. In the decision, the three-judge panel was sharply critical of the Bush administration's practice of holding people it suspected of terrorism without charges, as material witnesses.
But in May 2011, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Mr. Ashcroft could not be sued for asserted misuse of the federal material witness law.
The appeals court ruling stemmed from a lawsuit brought against Mr. Ashcroft and other officials in 2005 by Abdullah al-Kidd, who was born Lavoni T. Kidd in Kansas and converted to Islam in college. He was arrested in 2003 at Dulles Airport as he prepared to fly to Saudi Arabia for graduate work, and was held for weeks under a law that allows the indefinite detention of material witnesses to a crime. Mr. Kidd was never charged with a crime or called as a witness in a case.
In his suit, Mr. Kidd challenged his detention as unconstitutional. He contended that policies put in place by Mr. Ashcroft twisted the material witness law into a preventive detention measure. He said he was held because he was suspected of terrorism, not because he had information about others' crimes.
Mr. Ashcroft disputed Mr. Kidd's version of the facts and claimed his position granted him immunity.
The Supreme Court's ruling in May 2011 was unanimous on a single, narrow point: that the policy Mr. Kidd described did not violate clearly established law, so Mr. Ashcroft was entitled to qualified immunity from the suit.
"At the time of al-Kidd's arrest," Justice Antonin Scalia wrote, "not a single judicial opinion had held that pretext could render an objectively reasonable arrest pursuant to a material-witness warrant unconstitutional."
"Qualified immunity gives government officials breathing room to make reasonable but mistaken judgments about open legal questions," Justice Scalia went on. "When properly applied, it protects 'all but the plainly incompetent or those who knowingly violate the law.' Ashcroft deserves neither label." The justice's quotation came from an earlier decision.
One of Mr. Kidd's lawyers, Lee Gelernt of the American Civil Liberties Union's Immigrants' Rights Project, said he was disappointed that the court had "let Attorney General Ashcroft off the hook."
But Mr. Gelernt expressed satisfaction that "half of the justices who participated in today's decision expressed real questions about how the government used the material witness statute in al-Kidd's case," adding that he hoped "those questions will lead to a serious examination moving forward of the use of the statute as a tool for preventive detention."
Scrutiny as a Lobbyist
As a well-connected lobbyist, Mr. Ashcroft also has come under scrutiny. In a 2008 hearing before the House Judiciary subcommittee, he responded angrily to Congressional Democrats who suggested that a no-bid private contract directed to him by the Justice Department in the previous year amounted to a ''back-room sweetheart deal'' worth tens of millions of dollars to his consulting firm.
The monitoring contract worth $28 million to $52 million went to Mr. Ashcroft's firm as part of an out-of-court settlement with a medical supply company under criminal investigation. The Indiana company, Zimmer Holdings, hired the Ashcroft firm as the settlement monitor at the direction of Christopher J. Christie, the United States attorney in New Jersey, who had pursued the investigation and had worked under Mr. Ashcroft at the Justice Department. Mr. Ashcroft denied that there was a conflict of interest, or even an appearance of one.
Mr. Ashcroft, who was born on May 9, 1942, was the only former Bush cabinet member, and, by anyone's reckoning, the only former attorney general to have registered as a lobbyist. Before joining the Bush administration, Mr. Ashcroft was a United States senator and the governor and attorney general in Missouri.

Ladies, I truly apologize. It turns out the offer to be a surrogate baby-momma for a neanderthal's little bouncing ball of joy was premature:
It turns out that a reported plan to clone a Neanderthal baby was lost in translation.
Harvard geneticist George M. Church was quoted in the Daily Mail as looking for an "adventurous woman" to serve as a surrogate for a "cloned cave baby." The shocking headline spread quickly across the media with no small amount of help from major news aggregators like the Drudge Report.
But the Boston Herald dug a little deeper into the story, joining a long list of news outlets that contacted Church for an explanation.
Church told the Herald Monday night that the Daily Mail article was based on an interview he gave to the German-language magazine Der Spiegel and poorly translated comments he made about the possibility of one day cloning a Neanderthal.
Lost in translation? That poor excuse still works?

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — The U.S. dollar largely held to its advance Wednesday after a short-term extension of the U.S. debt limit was approved.
A turn higher for the dollar came earlier in the session, rising against Canada's currency after Canada's central bank said it will hold off on raising interest rates in part because the economy is still recovering at a slow pace.
The ICE dollar index DXY, -0.08% which tracks the performance of the greenback against a basket of other major currencies, was at 79.938 compared with 79.892 late Tuesday. It had been down at 79.70 during Wednesday's session before reversing course.
The WSJ Dollar Index BUXX, -0.09% which measures the dollar against a slightly larger basket of currencies, edged up 0.1% to 70.78 from 70.73.
The House on Wednesday afternoon voted to extend until May 19 the government's $16 trillion debt ceiling, which is a limit on how much debt the government can accumulate. The vote gives the government time to keep paying its bills while Congress and the White House work out a deal to reduce the deficit.
The last fight over the debt limit in the summer of 2011 led to slower economic growth and rattled markets worldwide. See: House OKs short-term debt-limit extension.
Canada delays rate increases
The greenback earlier in the session had been marginally lower against Canada's dollar before the release of the Bank of Canada's monetary decision. The bank, as expected, left unchanged the benchmark interest rate at 1%, where it's been since September 2010.
But in an accompanying statement, policy makers said they will delay possible rate increases in the near term as the economy will likely expand at a slower rate than previously expected, and as inflation holds below the target. The greenback USDCAD, -0.1917% strengthened 0.7% to buy 99.89 Canadian cents.
"This is an even more dovish turn for the BoC than we had anticipated," indicating the bank "is very possibly on hold through 2013-14," Scotiabank economist Derek Holt told clients Wednesday. "A full statement re-write is signalling a shift in thinking with respect to the composition of risks facing the Canadian economy going forward."
Cameron calls for EU referendum
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron says he will seek a mandate to renegotiate Britain's relationship with the European Union at the next election in 2015 and will then call a referendum on membership of the EU in 2017 if he wins.
Consistent with reaching the bank's inflation target of 2%, "the more muted inflation outlook and the beginnings of a more constructive evolution of imbalances in the household sector suggest that the timing of any such withdrawal [of monetary policy stimulus] is less imminent than previously anticipated," said the policy makers, led by Governor Mark Carney, in a statement.
The Bank of Canada cut its 2013 growth forecast to 2% from its previous view of 2.3%, and noted that weaker business investment and exports contributed to a larger-than-expected slowdown in the second half of 2012.
The economy should reach full capacity in the second half of 2014, later than policy makers had anticipated.
Growth should pick up through 2013, but exports are likely to remain below their pre-recession peak until the second half of 2014 "owing to a lower track for foreign demand and ongoing competitiveness challenges, including the persistent strength of the Canadian dollar," said the statement.
The central bank also expects total consumer price index inflation to remain around 1% in the near term before rising gradually, along with core inflation, to the 2% target in the second half of 2014.

PAWTUCKET — Veterans Day is just around the corner, but Lance Robinson, a retired Marine from Export, Pennsylvania, thinks another occasion is needed to reach out to a younger generation of military veterans who don't feel connected to the national holiday.
CENTRAL FALLS --- Jean Morris, 80 years young, maintained she had a terrific reason for attending the Central Falls Housing Authority's "Cancer/Domestic Violence Awareness Activities Day" event at Forand Manor on Wednesday.
PAWTUCKET — An incumbent City Councilor who won his seat two years ago from a veteran councilor by positioning himself as being more representative of District 5 is facing a challenge from someone who is also promising to be the voice of the constituents.
PROVIDENCE — As soon as Rep. Patrick Kennedy announced he would not seek re-election in the 1st Congressional District back in February, it was clear the race to succeed him would be one of the marquee races this year.

WOONSOCKET — President Barack Obama told about three dozen employees of American Cord and Webbing that, "It's small businesses like this one, after all, that are the bricks and blocks, the cord and webbing, if you will, of our economy."
After taking a brief tour of the plant in the Highland Corporate Park, Obama boasted that his administration, with the help of Congress has passed 16 different tax cuts for small businesses in the last two years."
EAST PROVIDENCE — No one considers himself more of an "Ocean Stater" than Peter Frost.
Never was that more evident than Thursday evening, when Frost — as President/Chief Executive Officer of ATW Companies Inc. of Warwick — hosted a Grand Opening celebration of a new manufacturing business named Parmatech-Proform Corp., located at 825 Waterman Ave.
There was no hiding Frost's elation as he introduced the new 25,000 square-foot site to Gov. Donald Carcieri, General Treasurer/gubernatorial candidate Frank Caprio, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Mayor Joseph Larisa and other honored guests.
LINCOLN --- It was rather by accident how Lincoln High School Resource Officer Dave Waycott developed the idea of conducting a "Driving While Texting Awareness" program for students with licenses.
"We were doing a safety fair here at school about two weeks ago, and one student – Kyle Sexton – helped me out with it," Waycott grinned. "While we were waiting for people to come into the old middle school gym, he was in one of our carts, texting away.
PAWTUCKET — The cause of the massive Union Wadding Company mill fire has been determined to be arson, and fire officials are turning to the public for help in finding the person or persons who lit the match.
PAWTUCKET — Since it opened on September 11, 2008, the Sean Nassaney Emergency Operations Center has proved useful for coordinating city workers during major snowstorms and last March's flooding. However, EMA Director Robert Howe said he never imagined it would one day serve as a command center for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
LINCOLN — As she readied herself for school Tuesday morning, Lincoln High junior Taylor Jutras argued vehemently with her mother, Tammy, about a mere two dollars. When "Ma" wouldn't budge on the request, she stormed out of the house "in a huff."
About five hours later, Taylor admitted she had texted her mom several times, promising she was sorry for her behavior and understood Tammy's stance on the matter.
PROVIDENCE — In a televised slugfest that remained competitive and contentious until the final bell, Democrat David Cicilline and Republican John Loughlin fought toe-to-toe over Social Security, taxes, jobs, health care and a raft of other issues Tuesday.
The two main candidates vying to succeed Democrat Patrick Kennedy as the congressman in the 1st District argued almost every issue vehemently, frequently trying to talk over each other and occasionally they had to be reined in by moderator Tim White of WPRI.
PAWTUCKET — As he held 10-month-old son Leland in his arms, Ken Hoffa explained why he volunteered to help the New Urban Farmers organization — not to mention members of KeepSpace, the Pawtucket Foundation and the city's Housing Authority — construct and care for the "Garden of Life" at Galego Court on Monday afternoon.
PAWTUCKET — One of Pawtucket's native sons and an "adopted" one from across the state line were honored Monday night by the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities.
In a ceremony at the Hope Artiste Village, city resident Richard Kazarian, a noted historian, antiques dealer and civic leader, was the recipient of the 2010 Tom Roberts Prize for Creative Achievement in the Humanities. In addition, nationally recognized, award-winning singer, songwriter and storyteller Bill Harley, of Seekonk, Mass., was given the 2010 Honorary Chairs' Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Humanities.
SEEKONK — A man wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and light-colored bandana over his face robbed an undisclosed amount of money from a Bank of America in the south section of town at approximately 12:30 p.m., Monday, Seekonk Police Capt. Craig Mace stated.
Witnesses told officers the man demanded money from a female teller. She immediately gave the suspect cash before he left the bank, located at 1021 Fall River Ave., and entered a green minivan, which had been parked near a planter abutting a nearby McDonald's restaurant.
PAWTUCKET — Weaving together past and present uses for yarns and other fibers, Providence Yarn Company, an 80- year-old family business, is soon relocating to new headquarters on Division Street.
The company has recently purchased a 24,000-square foot building to house its retail and wholesale operations at 50 Division St., relocating from its former leased space at 225 Conant St. in Pawtucket. Providence Yarn is expected to occupy and operate out of its new location in early November, and will also be holding a grand opening of its retail store, The Yarn Outlet (date to be announced).
PROVIDENCE – After fielding the same questions they've by now heard at nearly 30 debates and forums, the four major candidates for governor have their answers polished to a point where a political consultant could see his/her face reflected in them.
Those answers were trotted out once again Thursday at Brown University in response to questions posed by political science Professor Marion Orr before a mostly student audience that filled one of the school's lecture halls.
PAWTUCKET — Like "trick" birthday candles, hot spots continued to
flare up in the rubble of the Union Wadding Mill complex as late as
Friday afternoon, keeping city firefighters busy. According to Robert
Howe, the city's Emergency Management Director, two engine
companies and a ladder truck remained on the scene, trying to douse
smoldering areas of the sprawling, circa 1847 brick building.

Who says a farm only produces crops? This family-owned business has been operating for more than a decade on the original family farm, and all handmade items are still produced here. A retail showroom has been opened to keep up with the demand.
"Our big thing here is that we are family-owned and operated," owner John Gingerich said. "We're trying to give customers good quality at a fair price. We know they can trust us to do it right if they bring in a sketch of something they want, an idea in their head, or even a picture out of a magazine."
It's that kind of business motto that gives Prairie Lane Furniture an edge over the competition. Even with a store that is "off the beaten path," the positive comments and happy customers continue to make the business prosper.
The Amish business makes every piece of furniture in its showroom right on the farm.
In the 3,000-square-foot retail store, customers can find more than 100 different wood products. But the options do not end there.
Prairie Lane Furniture strives to provide customers with exactly what they want. One way they do that is to specialize in customized furniture that is many times difficult to find in other stores.
Shoppers are encouraged to personalize each piece by choosing the design, wood, stain or paint choice. After making these decisions, it takes about eight weeks for the products to be completed.

You can use squid proxy + iptables(or shorewall).
You can search document squid proxy on internet or google.
I would like to setup a Gateway on a Linux box (running RHEL4.6/CentOS4.6).
The box has 2 network cards (both detected and running fine). One card is connected to my private LAN via a dedicated Switch, all machines in my privateLAN are configure with static-IP on 10.0.2.x IP subnet, with this Gateway's IP set as defauly-GW. The other card is connected to a corporate LAN, on which I only have dynamic-IP assigned via DHCP. I've setup Dyn-DNS client, and that's working fine too, i.e. I can reach this machine via the Dyn-DNS mapped hostname. I would like to be able to reach my private LAN machines from other machines on the corporate LAN, via this Gateway.
While I've done Gateways where both interfaces are given static-IP, the dynamic-IP on one interface is giving me some heartburn. Can't figure out, how to setup the gateway.
Any help, advice, pointers appreciated.
Thanks & regards,

|Boone Native Son, Jim Holshouser, Dies
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 17 June 2013 12:54
Notable native son Former Gov Jim Holshouser—the first Republican to be elected as North Carolina's chief executive in the 20th century, died today at age 78. Family said that Holshouser had been in failing health for some time, and he died at First Health of the Carolinas Medical Center in Pinehurst.
Monday would have been the 52nd wedding anniversary for him and his wife, Pat. Funeral arrangements—whether here or his adopted home of Pinehurst— have not been announced. A statement released by the family said, "We are grateful for the loving care of the staff at First Health and St. Joseph's of the Pines and for the many friends and family who have so lovingly supported him and our family through the last several months. Most of all, we are grateful for his example of wisdom, integrity, love and servant leadership." WRAL-TV said that Gov. Pat McCrory visited with the family Sunday afternoon, as Holshouser served on McCrory's transition team after the November election. The station published a timeline of Holshouser's life, saying he grew up in Boone, the son of a prosecutor and a nurse. He got his first taste of politics as a teen, serving as senior class president at Appalachian High School. He graduated from Davidson College and earned a law degree at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where he also was class president. Holshouser returned to Watauga County in 1960 after graduating from UNC to practice law with his father. Two years later, an interest in reforming the way state judges were nominated prompted him to run for a seat in the state House.

Excess earwax can contribute to hearing loss. Common symptoms of too much earwax include pain, itchy ears, ringing ears or hearing loss.
Although earwax is good for you, too much can cause more complications later on.
It is important to avoid using cotton swabs to clean ear wax on your own at home they push ear wax deeper into your canal.
Removing excess earwax can be tricky, especially if it is hardened. Professionals often use irrigation and let water rinse out the excess wax. If this method fails, patients are encouraged to place a small drop of olive oil in their filled ear at night to allow the wax to soften and make its way out of the ear.

This was their moment. For the Pinnacle High boys basketball team, it's one they won't soon forget.
On senior night, a record size crowd filled up the stands and every available open space at the Pinnacle High Gymnasium to watch two teams vying for second place in Region 19.
And the Panthers wanted to make sure everyone went home happy.
In a game that saw plenty of momentum shifts in the final minutes, it was the Panthers overcoming an 11 point second half deficit on their way to a 61-50 win over Green River High School on Tuesday night.
Many Panther players were still in shock with the end result as friends, family members and fellow classmates stormed the court after the final buzzer.
"It just kind of happened," said Pinnacle senior Jake Hardy of the comeback. "We started getting things going in the second half. It was our last game at home and we didn't want to go out with a loss on senior night."
For the Panthers, a win against Green River didn't seem like a possibility with their play in the first half.
Pinnacle struggled offensively in the first half, especially from beyond the arc, as shots were hitting the front of the rim or bounced in and out before Green River regained possession.
"We were stagnant in the first half on offense," said PHS head coach Andrew Olson.
Green River took advantage as they 26-19 lead into the half thanks to Chance Pfander's four 3-pointers.
The Pirates extended the lead to 11 early in the third quarter. Facing a growing deficit and struggling to get things going on offense, the Panthers began to break down the Green River defense by driving to the basket.
Hardy and fellow senior Taje Richardson successfully broke down the Green River defense on multiple possessions, converting close shot opportunities to the basket. A Richardson layup early in the fourth quarter tied the game at 37-37, the closest Pinnacle had been since the first quarter.
Hardy added another layup moments later and found an open Javanni Alzayyat down low for a basket that capped a 7-0 run giving Pinnacle their largest lead of the game 41-37.
"As soon as my defender saw Jake drive the lane, I knew Jake could get me the ball for a basket and it worked," said Alzayyat, who finished with 11 points. "We knew we had to do something to get the momentum back and everybody was doing their job in the second half."
After getting the lead, Pinnacle never trailed again. The Pirates were able to tie the game at 41-41 with 5:09 left but Richardson answered back with a huge 3-pointer, one of only two shots Pinnacle made from beyond the arc all game long.
Both teams traded baskets, but Hardy began to take over the game as he hit back to back shots in the paint to extend the Panther lead to 52-46 with two minutes left. He added four free throws in the final minute to push the Panther lead to 57-48.
Rudman added two more free throws for the Panthers and when Richardson was fouled with 16 seconds left, the Panthers knew the game was in their control. Before heading to the line Richardson began playing to the crowd asking them to get louder as the Panther bench erupted with high fives and hugs all around.
Richardson connected on both free throws before Olson removed all of his seniors from the game drawing a loud ovation from the home crowd.
"We were all just waiting for the buzzer to go off," Richardson said.
As the seconds ticked off and the final buzzer sounded it was a sense of relief for a team that put in plenty of hard work in the offseason for a shot at getting to the playoffs.
"We just started attacking the basket in the second half as our aggression picked up," said Olson. "I told our kids to go out there and give the fans a show. We didn't do that in the first half, but we came back and did just that in the second half."
Hardy led the team with 23 points. Richardson added 19 points and Rudman finished with six points.
While the team celebrated on the court taking photos with friends and family, there was still some unfinished business. Panther players mentioned they wanted to celebrate with their head coach on a special night. After Olson returned from the locker room, he stood next to his players and was told to look up towards the ceiling. As he looked up, players doused him with a bucket of ice cold water leaving their head coach shivering but with a wide smile.
"We had been planning it for awhile," said Richardson. "He didn't know it was coming."
Despite having a cold, Olson said the water shower on the court was well worth it.
"I had no idea it was going to happen but it was well worth it," he said. "This was the biggest win in the history of the program and I'm just happy for our team and our seniors getting a chance to go to state."
With second place in Region 19 secure thanks to the win, the Panthers (14-6, 6-3 Region 19) still have one more region game at Whitehorse on Feb. 21 before heading off to Richfield for the 1A State Tournament starting on Wednesday, Feb. 27.
"This game shows we can win those grind it out kind of games heading into the tournament," Olson said noting the team will be focusing on fixing a few areas on both offense and defense before their final game against Whitehorse.

POTSDAM The town is looking for low-income residents with run-down homes to apply for this years round of Community Development Block Grant funding.
The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development distributes the grant to states, which in turn doles it out to local communities.
Potsdam applies for the grant every two years. In 2011, it received the full amount allowed, $400,000, all of which will be spent by the end of the 2013.
If the money is not spent by the end of the year, the state takes back whatever is left.
We typically have had very strong demand for this program, said Frederick J. Hanss, director of Potsdams Planning & Development Department.
There are still 10 people on the waiting list, but Mr. Hanss said he would like to see at least double the number of applicants before submitting the towns grant application to the state on Dec. 20.
A long list shows the state that Potsdam has a real need for the money, he said.
Only homeowners who live in the town, outside the villages of Potsdam and Norwood, are eligible to apply. The villages can apply for their own CDBG grants, separate from the town.
If applicants can demonstrate their financial need, Mr. Hanss will inspect their homes to ensure that repairs and renovations are necessary.
Applicants will not receive their money right away. Instead, the town board doles out the funds over the two-year period.
This distribution happens anonymously. The names of those who receive CDBG money are not public information.
The town wants to make sure everyone who needs the money ends up on the application list, but Mr. Hanss said those people contact his office to make their need known.
Its important that they reach out and let us know that theyre there, he said.

In what will perhaps be known as The New Miracle On Ice, Canada somehow managed to defeat the US 2-1 today in Ufa, all but shattering whatever hopes the Americans had of being taken seriously just two days after losing to the Russians, who were not in any way favored in this tournament, by the same score.
"I can only speak for every single person in Canada when I say that beating the USA, who we spent months deriding as worse than a hockey team made up of boulders with smiley faces painted on them, is the crowning achievement of our nation. It's a shame those Americans don't have our same high priorities on the things that matter: near-point-per-game NHL-led squads winning by an entire goal," said prime minister Stephen Harper.
