(a) Preference
In issuing preliminary permits hereunder or original licenses where no preliminary permit has been issued, the Commission shall give preference to applications therefor by States and municipalities, provided the plans for the same are deemed by the Commission equally well adapted, or shall within a reasonable time to be fixed by the Commission be made equally well adapted, to conserve and utilize in the public interest the water resources of the region; and as between other applicants, the Commission may give preference to the applicant the plans of which it finds and determines are best adapted to develop, conserve, and utilize in the public interest the water resources of the region, if it be satisfied as to the ability of the applicant to carry out such plans.

Amazon's app store is only a year old and already it's giving Google Play and the Apple app store some serious competition. Amazon knows how to do ecommerce, and they're showing it in how they get the attention of the ones who provide the products: mobile app developers.
Amazonapps overseer is Aaron Rubenson. In a recent interview, Rubenson gave a little hint as to why their app business has grown so fast. "When you think about some of the things that Amazon does that other platforms don't, we have this huge physical capability to ship stuff around the world," Rubenson said. "Games will sell plush toys, but you could imagine other scenarios where a recipes app could send cookbooks."
Amazon does seem to like change and manages it well.
Amazon recently started letting developers offer in-app purchases of physical goods, which will be a big deal for companies like Angry Birds-maker Rovio, Talking Friends-maker Outfit7, Russia's Zeptolab and more.
Amazon's Game Circle offers social features to gamers like the ability to share achievements and leaderboards. It can save a gamer's progress in the cloud, so that changing devices doesn't require restarting a game.
Last year, Amazon had some controversial pricing that frustrated developers. It had all the power when it came to the amount to charge for apps. Since developers are paid a percentage based on of what their apps sell for a big discount meant lost income for the designer. The company recently changed this so that developers earn 70 percent of what they originally priced their apps at, even if Amazon discounts their work. This is the same arrangement that Google Play and Apple Apps stores give their designers.
Amazon just opened its store to five international markets, so these changes are based on what's been going on in the U.S. They have a long way to go before they're a big contender for Apple and Google app business, but the new kid seems to be doing it right.

I was thinking it would be the yummy Chuao dark chocolate and maybe a tad bigger bits of salty potato chips which would be the answer for me. Chuao Spicy Maya dark chocolate bar best ever. Maybe milk chocolate just not as good with my taste buds. However, I used to like a milk chocolate Hershey Bar in many days gone by:). Also, Lay's recently announced their entry into chocolate covered potato chips arena, so I will definitely try and then compare to Chuao potato chip bar. Think this Chuao bar could be a huge hit if reformulated.

US budget officials tally cost of proposed TSCA reform bill
October 3, 2012 | Kara Sissell
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO; Washington) has released the estimated cost of complying with the Safe Chemicals Act, a measure that would overhaul the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) proposed by Senator Frank Lautenberg (D., NJ).

CBO estimates that implementing this legislation would increase EPA's workload for regulating chemical safety by about 30%/year over the next five years. That estimate...

Dr. Zuhair O. Yahya's Ratings
Dr. Yahya is great! I'm 27 yrs old w/thyroid problems, and he's helped not only me but my husband as well, to understand what it is and how to live with it. I live in orange county but I drive all the way out to San Dimas because that's how great of a Dr he is. He takes his time with you and answers all questions in a way that you could understand and he's very helpful and funny. I highly recommend him to anyone. As far as wait time, I rarely have to but after driving so far, I'm not in a rush to get out of there.

Outstanding physician, and, coincidentally, an outstanding person. My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Yahya for over 25 years. I respect and admire his intellect, and I truly admire his humanity. My wife had to visit the ER once on a Saturday when she was dehydrated from the flu. An IV fixed her up. On Sunday Dr. Yahya called us to check on her. I generally ask for early am appointments, and, so, I rarely have had long waits. I think that all doctors run behind as the day progresses.

I am so pleased with Dr. Yahya. I left my PCP of 10 yrs after my first visit with this doctor. I finally found a doctor that listens and diagnoses correctly. He takes the time to thoroughly evaluate you from head to toe which in my opinion prevents the misdiagnosis that I had come to know for far too many years. Quite a sense of humor too.Definitely a keeper!

Dr Yahya is the best doctor you could have. My family and I have been seeing him for over 15years. He always takes the time to diagnose your problems and doesnt offer massive meds to blanket the problem- he actually diagnoses and cures his patients.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2128300].votes_count ]]
He's a great doctor and really trys to stay on top of labs and meds each time you go and isn't in a big hurry when he's with you and will refer you to specialty doctor's when needed even when I had an hmo insurance. I moved away and now I returned going to him even tho he's quite a drive for me. He's a very careing doctor.

|Boone Council Hears Frontier Frustrations
A resident's request for help with service from Frontier Natural Gas fueled discussion among Boone's Town Council members to find ways to help with this recurring concern. Matt Bagley, a resident of the New Market Estates neighborhood expressed frustration with Frontier, "We've been meeting
officially with them and through petitions, letters, coordinating since 2009 and we're currently at an impasse. Our last letter in July went unanswered". It was not the first time Council had heard complaints about this company's lack of communication. Council member, Lynn Mason, reflected her perception of Frontier's operating procedure based on previous Council experiences with them. "They come and make promises, and even the last time they came before us, they were trying to represent that they had leadership there that would be responsive, but they're not." Town Manager, Greg Young, and attorney, Samuel Furgiuele, both advised Council members that they did not have authority to take sanctions against Frontier or to cancel its twenty year contract which still has four years left on it. After discussing options that included asking Frontier representatives to appear before Council, writing a letter of concern to the North Carolina Utilities Commission, and/or threatening non renewal of their lease when it expires in four years a motion was passed requesting that a representative come to the January Town Council meeting to inform them of the status of natural gas supplies to the Town of Boone. In other business Council heard updates on two projects of major interest to Boone citizens with Pilar Fota reporting on the Appalachian Theater and Randy Jones on the down town post office. Both indicated their respective projects were progressing as expected with Mr. Jones indicating that a March completion date for the post office was still possible.

The former military exclusion zone of Hainich forest in western Thuringia has become a national park. It is Europe's largest unbroken area of mixed deciduous forest, dominated by the common beech.
Hainich National Park– the largest unbroken area of mixed deciduous forest in Europe – lies in Thuringia, in the eastern part of central Germany, between the spa resort of Bad Langensalza and Eisenach, home of Wartburg Castle.
The bio-diverse woodland habitat features an unusually high proportion of dead wood, ideal conditions for numerous organisms such as fungi, mosses, lichen and insects. On forest walks and guided tours visitors may well encounter rare animals such as wildcats, black storks and protected bat species, such as Bechstein's bat. The Wildcat Children's Forest is an attraction aimed specially at younger guests. A treetop trail, several hundred metres long, takes visitors across the 'roof' of the forest at a height of 44 metres.
Themed trails, for example in Brunstal, circular walks and ridge trails like the Rennsteig are great ways to explore the region's stunning landscapes. Historical towns with a rich heritage, such as the spa resort Bad Langensalza, Mühlhausen, which is associated with the reformer Thomas Müntzer, and Eisenach, linked to Martin Luther and home of Wartburg Castle, are not just of interest to the culturally-minded. The Rennsteig trail features attractions of cultural and historical significance, for example the 1000-year-old Mendicants' Oak and some ancient stone crosses.
Hainich National Park offers a perfect blend of nature, culture and leisure activities, with other attractions that include medieval houses and a town wall that you can walk along in Mühlhausen, a rose garden and the delightful Friederike Villa in Bad Langensalza, Anrode convent near Bickenriede and the monastery village of Volkenroda.

By TOM MCCOURTGuest Contributor
This week I want to follow-up on an excellent letter to the editor that appeared in last week's Sun Advocate, submitted by Jo Sansevero. Jo made some good points and I haven't been able to stop thinking about what she said. Here are a few additional comments.
It was so easy to make it happen. It only took an anonymous phone call, from an alleged victim, of an unconfirmed crime, to set in motion one of the most frightening events in recent United States history. Hundreds of state and federal law officers, wearing SWAT gear, carrying machine-guns, and backed by tanks and helicopters, raided a peaceful compound housing several hundred members of a religious sect. It was Waco all over again, except this time the cult members surrendered peacefully and were spared being burned alive - so far.
We all watched on TV as dozens of families were torn apart by uniformed agents of the state. More than 400 children were ripped from their homes and loved ones, sent to foster care, or remain in state custody in a concentration camp that was once a civic auditorium. We've seen mothers crying, fathers distraught, and children being whisked away in busses. And we've seen an endless parade of smirking news people filing reports about those weird polygamists and their strange dress, customs, and religious beliefs. The whole country has been titillated by stories of multiple wives, child brides, secret temple rituals, and strange holy underwear. And all of this is over an alleged crime that hasn't been proven yet, by a perpetrator and victim who have yet to be identified, and with knowledge that the whole thing might be a cruel hoax perpetrated by someone who is not a member of the cult.
Everyone in the community is being forced to submit to DNA testing. They are being interrogated at length about the most private aspects of their personal lives. They have had their personal papers, family photos and scrapbooks confiscated, their homes searched, their church records seized, and their most sacred religious sanctuary defiled. And at the time I write this, not one of them has been charged with a crime.
This didn't happen in Soviet Russia, Communist Red China, or North Korea.
It happened in Texas. It happened in America. And it happened to all of us. If something like this can happen to our neighbors it can happen to you and me. Where is the outrage?
Whatever happened to due process? What about our constitutional guarantees about innocent until proven guilty, probable cause, cruel and unusual punishments, the right to face your accuser, and protections against unlawful search and seizure? How can the crimes, or alleged crimes, of one person, or a dozen people, justify an armed invasion of a whole community? How can suckling babes be taken from their mother's arms and placed in state custody over an allegation that a teenaged girl has been abused somewhere in the community? Where is the connection here? I don't get it. What crimes did those babies commit to be punished so severely?
But then, what the heck? Those polygamists probably deserve it. They dress and act weird. Their religion is stupid and their prophet makes a profit by shearing the flock. Some of them are pedophiles and nasty old men. We might as well lock all of them up, burn their holy books and scatter the ashes to the wind. Let's confiscate their children and send them to re-education camps like the communists did in Cambodia. Freedom of religion shouldn't cover creeps like them.
And while we're at it, those Muslims practice polygamy, too. Muslims dress weird, pray too often, and oppress their women just like fundamentalist Mormons. We better get those rascals while we're at it.
And there have been hundreds of young boys molested by Catholic priests. Anyone who sends a child to be an alter boy or a boy scout should lose parental rights for placing the kid in eminent danger. And what about those worldly priests? Maybe the state should raid a few rectories and cathedrals, seize all the records and make everyone take a blood test on national TV.
And what about the public schools? Every week we hear of school teachers molesting students. Maybe we should do commando raids on public schools to look for evidence of abuse. I'm sure we can justify it.
We'll say it's for the children. That always seems to work.

USAID is helping Albanian municipalities prepare General Local Territorial Plans and improve municipal services.
USAID joins a multi-donor effort to supports territorial and administrative reform in Albania.
Improving the transparency of systems and reducing opportunities for corruption will improve interactions that citizens have with courts in Albania.
USAID provided rural women with goats to help them generate income to support themselves and their families.
USAID and a local NGO, Assist Impact, sign seven grant agreement awards for empowerment projects for Albanian youth.
About Albania
Since 1992, the U.S. Government has delivered foreign aid to support Albania's development, stability and integration into Europe. U.S. aid has helped Albania transition from the most isolated and repressive communist state in Europe to a democracy with a market-oriented economy.
The current program works with the Government of Albania and the private sector on transformational reforms to strengthen democratic institutions and sustain economic growth. Specifically, USAID helps Albania to:
- Strengthen rule of law by building the skills of lawyers and judges, and ensuring that courts function properly
- Increase the ability of local governments to raise revenue and provide more effective services to citizens in areas ranging from health care to clean water
- Improve business competitiveness while strengthening the financial sector to better support economic development and financial security

|Campaigns Intensify; Voting Starts in10 Days
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 08 October 2012 05:37
Ten days from today, early voting gets underway, and with national polls tightening in the presidential race, the intensity on all levels is rising. Major fundraising events for both Governor Romney and President Obama are raising cash for the push to get their message out for each side.
One such event will be this Friday in the High Country, as NC native James Taylor performs at Westglow Spa in Blowing Rock. Co-owner Jamie Schaefer said Saturday that all the top level tickets were gone, but there were some $1000 concert tickets and $500 student tickets were available. That concert is 7pm this Friday.
On local races, the Boone Chamber of Commerce has its candidates forum tomorrow night at the Superior Courtroom, beginning at 5:30, with Candidates for NC Senate and House; at 6:30, candidates for Watauga County Commissioner; then at 7:30, Candidates for Watauga County Board of Education. Questions will be asked of all the candidates in a 'round robin' format; each having an opportunity to answer first, but all answering the same question. The audience can participate, submitting written questions during the forum. All questions will come from the moderator. Each response will have a 1-minute time limit and each candidate will have a 2-minute closing statement. The chamber stressed that the forum is not intended to be a debate between candidates, but an opportunity for each candidate's position on topics to be aired. The forum will be broadcast live on WATA.
Voting in Watauga starts Thursday, October 18th at the Board of elections office in the courthouse, then at the ASU student union, beginning October 22nd., and then at the Foscoe Fire Department, beginning October 31st.
Avery and Ashe voters can cast ballots beginning October 18th at their board of elections offices.

Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail
After a high-speed freeway chase puts Madea in front of the judge, her reprieve is short-lived as anger management issues get the best of her and land her in jail. A gleeful Joe couldn't be happier at Madea's misfortune. But Madea's eccentric family members the Browns rally behind her, lending their special "country" brand of support. Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Joshua Hardaway is on the fast track to career success. But, Hardaway lands a case too personal to handle--defending young prostitute and former drug addict Candace Washington--and asks his fiancée and fellow ADA Linda Holmes to fill in on his behalf. When Candace ends up in jail, Madea befriends the young woman, protecting her in a "motherly" way as only Madea can.

Shortly after becoming a new mom, I started to realize the benefits of a baby carrier. Not only are they beneficial for your child, but the fact that they free up your hands, while still having your child close by, is a huge plus. By having your child in a carrier, you are able to complete daily tasks (cooking, cleaning, etc.), go shopping and attend activities with ease.
Sometime ago (in 2009), I had the opportunity to review the Classic Carrier from Kokopax and I can honestly say that we still have it today. It has held up terrifically over the last year and a half and I will definitely be using it for baby number 2 (whenever that time comes!). So, when Kokopax introduced a new collection of carriers, the City Carrier, I was delighted to see the same style of carrier in a variety of new prints and at a more affordable price.
The City Carrier from Kokopax features an uncomplicated design that has all the essentials: a five-point harness, lightweight frame, adjustable and padded shoulder straps, sturdy kick stand for easy loading and a handy pocket. Perfect for families on-the-go, the City Carrier is great for cooking, shopping, or just a walk through the park.
- positions baby at eye-level for 360 degree world view really easy to load (even for dads)
- made with durable, easy-to-clean fabric
- powder coated aluminum frame
- comfortable shoulder straps
- adjustable frame to fit individual user
- padded waist support
- handy storage pocket with Velcro closure
- kickstand for easy loading
- 5-pt. safety harness
- ties to secure pax protector
- toy ring to attach koko or other toys
- weighs approximately 3 lbs.
- fits in airline overhead bins
- makes a great every day baby backpack that is great for indoors and outdoors!
- for use from 6 months to 2 years (or up to 35 pounds) patent pending
- certified by the JPMA to the ASTM F2549-09 Frame Child Carrier standard
Whether cooking, going to a local festival or just taking a leisurely stroll, the Kokopax City Carrier is a great option. Plus, with its six different style options, there is a City Carrier to match everyone's style!
Buy It: The City Carrier is available to purchase at www.kokopax.com for $99.99
To Enter: Visit Kokopax and leave a comment stating which style City Carrier you would choose if you were the lucky winner. Please leave your email address in the comment or make sure it is visible in your profile.

Sean in Colorado
I wanted a boot that could cover all basis- learning to ride dirt, supremoto, and adventure touring off the beaten path. There really is no such boot, but these come as close as you could get. I tried on all the premium motocross and adventure boots and out of them all these felt the most protective. They cinch down tight and don't bulge in weird places when they flex. I was amazed how often my feet bashed rocks and sticks and the ground when first started offroad riding, i would be totally screwed if i had gone with something without a reinforced toe box and ankle guards!!! The most amazing part about these boots to me was the waterproofness. Hours and hours of rain, deep mud holes, crossing the Red Wood River in CA and scampering back across through ankle deep water for a photo...not a single drop of water in. Could you stand in the water for a few minutes and get them to leak? probably, but I assure you mine didn't leak in any rain conditions with rain pants covering only the tops. They squeak when you walk, but so what. These lived up to all the crazy positive reviews, and to me wearing them for 16 hours a day for 8 days on an adventure trip...dropping my bike 8 times. AND, i can super-moto and motocross in them when the time comes!Read All Reviews

Going from conventional riding boots to these is night and day difference. they have great protection and don't feel like you're wearing riding boots even on the first day wearing them.Read All Reviews
WIlliam in ID
As was mentioned these come in packs of 10, yet you need 17 per boot, which means you have to but four packs and then have left overs.Read All Reviews

Great grip on the wet and slick inclines when off the bkie. Hold the pegs great and able to reposition with ease. Will buy again.Read All Reviews
James in AZ
Because the sole is soft it doesn't hold up as well as other Sidi boots. The fit was accurate, fairly light weight. A little stiff out of the box, but loosened up within a few rides.Read All Reviews
JESSE in OR
Good design, thin in the right areas and padded where they need to be. Very comfortable and also use these for my ski socks. - Do a great job in keeping my feet dry/wicking and so far no foot odor. Have a few pair of them.Read All Reviews

MADRID Its one and done for town Supervisor Joseph A. Finnegan.
Mr. Finnegan, 62, wont seek a second term as supervisor. A Democrat, he served as a town councilman from 1997 to 2001.
Its time to step back, he said Friday.
I am at a point in my life where I want more time to enjoy my family, friends and activities, he said. I also am somewhat disappointed by the direction of the levels of government beyond the local level. It is getting to the point where unfunded mandates and other onerous requirements are being passed down to the local level with the expectation that we can somehow find the money, time and personnel to meet them.
Mr. Finnegan also doesnt believe in hanging on.
I am a firm believer that members of governing boards should change, and hopefully the new members will bring fresh ideas and will not hesitate to think outside the box, he said. I believe in term limits as well. When I was approached four years ago to run for the supervisors position, I told that group that I would agree to run for one term and that is what I have done.
Mr. Finnegan said the town has stacked up accomplishments during his time as supervisor.
We have completed the construction of a new wastewater treatment plant and have secured an interest-free loan to pay off the debt for the project, although my predecessor had been involved in the planning and initial arrangements for this project, he said.
A community development plan for the town also was drafted.
I am proud to have been a part of the group that worked on that project, Mr. Finnegan said.
The town, he said, also repaired its dam on the Grasse River and appointed a park commission.
As budget officer for the last four years, I have worked very diligently with the other members of the town board to keep the burden of property taxes as low as possible while maintaining the services for our residents, he said. We were also able to negotiate a fair and equitable labor contract with our highway employees, which will lay the groundwork for future equitable and affordable labor contracts.
Mr. Finnegan worked for Niagara Mohawk for 33 years, retiring in 2006. He was chief of the Madrid Volunteer Fire Department in 1980 and 1981 and has been a member for 44 years. He is also a past president of the St. Lawrence County Fire Chiefs Association, the Northern New York Volunteer Firemens Association and the Firemens Association of the State of New York.
He is married to Debra A. Salton Finnegan.

Filtered this through cheesecloth, did the boiling of the dry ingredients, and after a brief steep and cool combined both and added some molasses.
Also put down a half batch of Robert Hess' House Bitters, based on one of the more recent recipes from the DrinkBoy forums.
Robert Hess' House Bitters (scroll down)
Boy, they smell great! I really recommend that recipe.
I can't wait to try these in cocktails!
Still haven't figured out what to do with my gentian clementine bitters. I think I may macerate some orange zest in rye with more spices and combine with existing bitters to dilute and diversify the flavors. It's just too bitter at this point. Perhaps I should just give up and start over.

I have just installed SuSE Linux 8.2 on to my PC; I have installed it on a 14GB partition of my 60GB IDE HD, the rest of my HD is used by windows XP. The installation was very easy and all my hardware including my ADSL USB modem was detected, SuSE was up and running within 30 mins, before I take the plunge and delete windows from my PC and use Linux exclusively I have one major problem that needs to be resolved HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE INTERNET.
As stated previously my ADSL USB modem has been detected, I have also downloaded a Linux driver for my modem from the manufacturers website. How do I install the driver to make my modem work and how do I then connect to the internet.
I have researched the problem on the internet and have found out it should be possible connect using my current hardware but all the instructions are at the moment far to technical for me to understand.
For your information my hardware details are as follows:
Gigabyte 7DXE motherboard.
60 GB HD (14GB used by SuSE).
Geforce Ti4200 graphics card.
Soundblaster 4.1 sound card.
512MB DDR 2100 ram.
Sagem F@st 800 ADSL USB modem.
My ISP is Tiscali I use the 512k broadband package.
As stated I am looking to use SuSE exclusively i.e.: uninstall windows XP, but this is not going to happen if I can't connect to the internet.
I look forward to your reply but please bear in mind my lack of technical knowledge of Linux when replying.
Here is a guide that is geared toward Debian, but it looks like you can use it up till the installing PPPoE part.
Please let me know of specific sections that you need help with, and I'll try to newbiefy them the best I can.
I don't have a USB Modem, so I would have to rely on this article as well, however I can help you get past setting up your kernel etc... I can even help you to get PPPoE incase your SuSe doesn't already have it installed.

PAWTUCKET – The Pawtucket Red Sox, already off to its finest start to a season in club history, seemed poised to move to 10-1 after holding a 3-1 cushion through seven innings on Monday night.
But righty reliever Chris Carpenter surrendered the Lehigh Valley IronPigs five runs in the top of the eighth, and the PawSox ultimately suffered an 8-3 International League-North beatdown before 3,849 fans at McCoy Stadium.
Josh Fields, the visitors' No. 5 batter, finished 4-for-4 with two homers, a double, four RBI and a trio of runs scored as the IronPigs improved to 5-5. Michael Martinez helped out, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.
The Sox fell to 9-2, despite premier mound efforts from starter Allen Webster and Oscar Villareal.
Webster scattered five hits (without a walk) and whiffed seven through the first five, while Villareal didn't allow a hit and walked two while striking out a pair in the sixth and seventh.
With the PawSox up, 3-1, entering the eighth inning, Carpenter came in from the bullpen to face the IronPigs' Nos. 2, 3 and 4 batters. Turns out, they sent 10 to the plate.
Cody Asche opened the frame with a walk, and Darin Ruf plated him with a double to left-center, then took third on a wild pitch. Fields' two-bagger to the right-center gap scored Ruf to knot the game at 3-3.
Cody Overbeck then knocked a hit to right and Tyson Gillies walked to load the bags, and – after Carpenter whiffed Steven Lerud for the first out – No. 9 batter Michael Martinez lofted an opposite-field single to left to drive in Fields and Overbeck.
Gillies later crossed the plate after Cesar Hernandez reached on first baseman Brandon Snyder's bobble.
Carpenter eventually got Castro and Asche to ground to shortstop Jose Iglesias.
Reliever Anthony Carter opened the ninth by walking Ruf, and Fields walloped his second dinger of the game into the right-field seats to seal it.
Justin De Fratus, who allowed just one hit in the seventh, earned his first win of the campaign. Carpenter took the loss, and also suffered his first blown save.
It appeared the PawSox would start fast in the bottom of the first when leadoff batter Brock Holt ripped a single and stole second. With Jose Iglesias in the box, however, home plate umpire Ben May called a third strike against him, and also proclaimed Holt out after he had stolen third.
He did so citing batter's interference.
With two down, designated hitter J.C. Linares (David Ortiz was another late scratch) drilled a double down the left-field line, but Mark Hamilton flied to left to end the threat.
In the top of the second, Webster allowed Josh Fields a leadoff dinger, one that landed high up on the left-field berm, to give Lehigh Valley a 1-0 cushion.
Pawtucket, though, answered with a trio in the third. Justin Henry began the surge with a hit to left, and – with one out – Holt walked before righty starter Tyler Cloyd issued a two-out free bag to Linares to juice the bases.
Hamilton then ripped a single to center, one that easily plated Henry and Holt, but – when Tyson Gillies bobbled the ball – Linares hustled in for the 3-1 cushion.
Villareal replaced Webster in the sixth and gave up a pair of walks, but evaded any damage. He also hit leadoff hitter Michael Martinez in the seventh, but Dan Butler threw him out attempting to rob second. Villareal then fanned Hernandez and forced Castro to pop out to short.
As for Ortiz' absence from the lineup for the second straight game, skipper Gary DiSarcina stated afterward that he was scratched due to some mild left heel pain.
Media types in the press box seemed puzzled when Linares strolled into the batter's box in the bottom of the first instead of "Papi," as the 37-year-old DH had been scheduled to bat third in the lineup.
"I saw him trot out to left field, and – when I came back (into the clubhouse), the trainer (Jon Jochim) said he had … pain," DiSarcina noted. "He was removed for precautionary reasons. It's a little soreness, so we weren't going to run him up there. We'll reexamine him (today), and a decision will be made."
EXTRA BASES: There were no player moves on Monday … In today's matinee 12:05 start, IronPigs' righthander Jonathan Pettibone (0-1, 10.13 ERA) is expected to face righty Steven Wright (1-0, 2.70), while southpaw Cesar Jimenez (0-0, 0.00) will take on fellow lefty Chris Hernandez (0-0, 3.12) on Wednesday at 6:15 p.m … As for Thursday, another 12:05 early tilt, southpaw Adam Morgan (1-0, 1.29) should battle righty Terry Doyle (0-0, 2.79) … Tolman High's baseball team is scheduled to face the varsity club from Newtown, Conn. in a non-league game inside McCoy Stadium at 11:30 p.m., Saturday. The public is invited to the event, and tickets are available for $5 per person. They may be purchased at the PawSox Box Office, or by calling 724-7300. Proceeds from the contest will go the Sandy Hook Workers Assistance Fund, which was created to provide support to volunteer and professional workers who responded to the tragic Dec. 14 shooting inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.

|Pioneers Ground Rockets, 11-4
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Wednesday, 02 March 2011 08:26
The Watauga High baseball team opened the season on a convincing note Tuesday night.
The Pioneers, who are pre-season favorites to win the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference this season, lived up to their pre-season hype as they pounded A.C. Reynolds 11-4 in their season opener at Davis Field in Asheville. Max Linville and Ryan Turner backboned the 14-hit attack as those two combined for seven hits, a double, a home run, two stolen bases and five runs-batted-in.
NOTES: A.C. Reynolds won the JV game, 4-1.....The last time WHS opened the season at A.C, Reynolds was on March 6, 1998. Matt Johnson of the Pioneers threw a perfect game that day as WHS won 6-0.

Another 107-day duck and goose season awaits Utah's waterfowl hunters this year. The 107-day season will include a 60-day season for canvasbacks and a 60-day season for pintails.
The Utah Wildlife Board set Utah's seasons at an Aug. 12 meeting after learning that the number of ponds and the number of ducks raised increased after a wet spring across most of North America this year.
Utah's 2003-2004 waterfowl season will begin with a special youth waterfowl day, for hunters 12 to 15 years of age on Sept. 27. The regular waterfowl season follows on Oct. 4 and runs until Jan. 17, 2004.
Utah's seven duck and three goose bag limit remains unchanged from last year, except hunters may take one canvasback a day during the 60-day canvasback season, which runs from Oct. 4 to Dec. 2.
Utah hunters were not allowed to take canvasbacks last season. "After three years of decline, canvasback numbers rebounded this spring," indicated DWR waterfowl coordinator, Tom Aldrich.
"The board approved our recommendation to hold the canvasback season at the start of the season, which is when most of Utah's waterfowl hunters are in the marshes and when most canvasbacks migrate through Utah," continued the waterfowl coordinator.
Another change involves Utah's 60-day pintail season. Last year it was split, with a portion held early in the season and the remaining portion held at the end. This season it will run 60 straight days, from Oct. 4 to Dec. 2.
"New rules from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made it difficult to split the season this year," Aldrich stated.
Under the new rules, a state may not hold a split season for one bird unless the state is willing to split its entire waterfowl season. This requires the state to shut its entire season down for at least one day.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A couple of lobstermen from Maine believe they've made a pretty rare catch.
Herbert and Andrew Goulden say they caught what appears to be a calico lobster around noon on Saturday, four miles off shore out of the Kennebunk River.
Calico lobsters are exceedingly rare, the odds of one having the mottled black and orange coloring are 1 in 30-million.
Herb is a third generation lobsterman and Andrew has his apprentice license. They say the crustacean is still alive.

The future energy impacts of shade trees planted through a Sacramento utility sponsored program were evaluated. Detailed information on building and tree characteristics were collected for 254 residential properties and used to model hourly shading for each building. After factoring in increased heating costs from tree shade in winter, a total annual savings of $14 per tree was estimated. Data were coupled with information from a previous study of existing shade trees and potential residential tree planting sites to calculate impacts of Sacramento County.s entire urban forest on energy use for space conditioning. This is one of the first studies to scale-up data from individual properties and derive regional estimates.

While police officially ruled the death an "accident," serious questions are still surfacing — even in the establishment media and among prominent officials. Based on e-mails Hastings sent out shortly before he died about working on a "big story" and needing to go "off the radar," it has become clear that he was worried, too.
Hastings, who wrote for Rolling Stone, BuzzFeed, Gawker, and other publications, was probably best known for his award-winning 2010 article "The Runaway General." The piece helped bring down U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan. Despite his establishment credentials and what analysts called his "Democrat-friendly" reporting, Hastings had become extremely alarmed about the "surveillance state" and other troubling developments in recent months. His last published story: "Why Democrats Love To Spy On Americans."
When the Obama administration was exposed spying on journalists earlier this year, the investigative reporter blasted what he referred to as the president's "war" on journalism. "The Obama administration has clearly declared war on the press. It has declared war on investigative journalists — our sources," he said during a recent TV interview, blasting the administration's lawless behavior, obsession with secrecy, and vicious persecution of whistleblowers. Beyond simple criticism, though, Hastings openly said it was time for journalists to fight back.
"I think the only recourse to this kind of behavior by the government is to say back to the government, 'we declare war on you,' and from this point forward, we should no longer — the media as a whole — cooperate in any manner with the government," he continued. "We should withdraw all our cooperation and we should publish everything we know, because it's a free press, it's not a free-except-for-when-the-government-tells-me-to-do-it press, and we've been way too easygoing with these guys."
Less than 24 hours before his death, Hastings made it crystal clear that he was concerned about his own well-being. In an e-mail sent to numerous contacts and his employer, for example, Hastings noted: "The Feds are interviewing my 'close friends and associates.'" He also said that if authorities show up, it "may be wise to immediately request legal counsel before any conversations or interviews about our news-gathering practices or related journalism issues." The subject line read: "FBI investigation re: NSA." Perhaps most alarming of all, the e-mail concluded with this: "Also: I'm onto a big story, and need to go off the rada[r] for a bit."
