Adobe devs must be working overtime to fix the latest vulnerabilities revealed through the Hacking Team cyberattack.
The security flaw affects every version of Flash Player and remained undetected until the catastrophic Hacking Team data breach.
A security initiative from Google hopes to identify and put a stop to previously unknown, unpatched bugs that threaten the Web at large.
The flaw, which is being leveraged in "limited, targeted attacks," allows remote code execution, Microsoft warns.
Vulnerability allowed a "drive-by attack" of malware installation when computers visited a malicious Web site.
Computers infected with malware after visiting a "strategically important Web site," security firm FireEye warns.
Google wants technology firms to cut down on the amount of time it takes to fix zero day vulnerabilities, but some are crying foul.
RSA blog details how the security firm was compromised but still does not say what data was stolen.
Something similar to the zero-day exploit recently discovered in Adobe's Reader and Acrobat tools has been found for its Flash Player as well.
Microsoft says it is working on a security patch to close a hole being used by the Trojan to infect systems.

|MiR-205 determines the radioresistance of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma by directly targeting PTEN.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22306986 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Radiotherapy is the primary treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but radioresistance severely reduces NPC radiocurability. Here, we have established a radio-resistant NPC cell line, CNE-2R, and investigate the role of miRNAs in radioresistance. The miRNAs microarray assay reveals that miRNAs are differentially expressed between CNE-2R and its parental cell line CNE-2. We find that miR-205 is elevated in CNE-2R. A target prediction algorithm suggests that miR‑205 regulates expression of PTE N, a tumor-suppressor. Introducing miR-205 into CNE-2 cells suppresses PTE N protein expression, followed by activation of AKT, increased number of foci formation and reduction of cell apoptosis postirradiation. On the other hand, knocking down miR-205 in CNE-2R cells compromises the inhibition of PTE N and increases cell apoptosis. Significantly, immunohistochemistry studies demonstrate that PTE N is downregulated at late stages of NPC, and that miR-205 is significantly elevated followed the radiotherapy. Our data conclude that miR-205 contributes to radioresistance of NPC by directly targeting PTE N. Both miR-205 and PTE N are potential predictive biomarkers for radiosensitivity of NPC and may serve as targets for achieve successful radiotherapy in NPC.

A mere mention of preserving and canning can cause the most confident of home cooks to run in the opposite direction, but Katie & Giancarlo Caldesi break down the surprisingly simple steps behind pickling, brining, smoking, salting, canning, fermenting and more in The Gentle Art of Preserving.
This recipe for Summer Fruits in Brandy doesn't even require a stovetop! Who knew preserving at home was so easy? Get ready to knock out a chunk of your Christmas gifts in one fell swoop.
Summer Fruits in Brandy
This method is suitable for preserving all sorts of summer fruits, including berries, plums and apricots. The boozy fruit should be ready to eat within 2 weeks, but you can leave it to mature for longer if you wish—we make this using late summer fruits to give as Christmas presents. Our favorite way of serving the boozy fruits is with ice cream, yogurt or cake. The fruity brandy is delicious served hot in shot glasses, or mixed with red wine for a variation on mulled wine. Alternatively, purée the fruits with their liquor and use as a sauce for desserts or with game dishes.
Makes approx. four 12-oz jars
Wash the fruit and pat dry on paper towels. Pit and halve the fruits. Divide the fruit and sugar among the sterilized jars and top up with brandy. Seal and set aside in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, turning the jars upside down every day until the sugar dissolves. Store for 3 months before sampling, although it can be matured for up to a year in a cool, dark place.
Katie & Giancarlo Caldesi break down an often intimidating branch of home cooking in their wonderfully accessible cookbook, The Gentle Art of Preserving. Stock up on fresh summer fruits and veggies while you still can—their recipes will let you enjoy them all winter long.
Try this recipe for a childhood favorite: Fruit Leathers! Choose your favorite fruits and get started.
Makes 1 fruit leather, approx. 14 inches square
Mango Leather
Raspberry and Banana Leather
Apple leather
Cut the fruit with or without the peel into chunks and puree in a food processor or blender. Pour the purée onto silicone mats or plastic wrap-lined sheets. Make sure the pool of purée doesn't go over the edge of the sheets; smooth out by shaking and tilting the sheet to make it spread out. The purée should be no thicker than ¼in. Dry in the dehydrator at 135°F for 4–6 hours, or in the oven at 140°F for 6–8 hours. Fruit leathers are ready when they are not sticky to the touch, but can be peeled easily from the mat or plastic wrap. Lift the edge, which will adhere lightly to the surface, and peel it back. If it peels back easily, it is ready.
Either eat immediately or cover the dried leather in a layer of parchment paper and roll up, or cut into 2-inch-wide strips and roll up. Store in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place for up to 6 weeks, but do check regularly for any signs of mold. Alternatively, pack into vacuum bags and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Hate daylight saving time? Debate it at forum
It's about time, literally: The state is hosting a forum to let the public debate and vote whether to keep switching to and from daylight saving time twice a year.
It will be held in a place that daily explores time and space: the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City, on July 10 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
The state will also take comment on the issue at a rural summit in Cedar City in August. Those who cannot attend the forums may go online to business.utah.gov/time to comment or vote.
The Legislature this year passed HB197 ordering the state to conduct a study and meetings on whether to retain daylight saving time.
Rep. Ronda Menlove, R-Garland, and Sen. Aaron Osmond, R-South Jordan, who pushed the legislation, plan to attend. They already have opened a bill file for possible action next year based on what they hear.
The forums plan to explore three possibilities: keep the current system; align with Arizona to stay on Mountain Standard Time year round; or keep daylight saving time all year.
"Surprisingly, time changes have an economic and educational impact on our state," Menlove said in a press release.
"Recreation enthusiasts argue that the spring time change brings tourism and recreation dollars into the state coffers, and farmers and ranchers have more daylight time to complete their work," she said.
But, she added, "Parents and educators argue that the change has a negative impact on student learning at a critical point in the year when end-of âlevel tests are administered."
Also, "Public safety officials note an increase in accidents at each change of time," she said.
The Governor's Office of Economic Development will conduct the forums. It notes that daylight saving time was first adopted by Germany in World War I to save fuel by replacing artificial light with real light, and switching to it became standard in most states in the mid-1960s.
Currently, Arizona and Hawaii are the only states that do not switch to and from daylight saving time.

This question is asked over and over again. In many cases, you will hear people debate about the answer. When this happens, it's likely that each person is defending their game of choice. For example, someone who enjoys playing blackjack will say that blackjack offers the best odds, and someone who enjoys playing craps will say that craps offers the best odds. By the way, if you ever see someone arguing for roulette or slots offering the best odds in the casino, then you can mentally mark them down as highly uninformed, which is a polite way of saying "clueless."
As far as blackjack goes, the house edge can be lower than 1 percent if you play Basic Strategy. You can actually get it as low as .43 percent, but a lot of factors come into play. These factors include how many decks are being used, if the dealer is forced to stand on 17, if you're allowed to double after a split, if you're allowed to re-split, if you're allowed to re-split aces, and if surrenders are available.
For craps, you can get the house edge down to .40 percent if you bet the Don't Pass line. This obviously means that craps offers better odds than blackjack, but if you're a passionate blackjack player, is .03 percent really going to influence what game you choose to play? Highly unlikely.
Also keep in mind that you can't count cards in craps. If you take this approach in blackjack, then you will be the favorite.

Introducing LEED 09Next month, with the economy almost certainly still gripped by recession and AV professionals doing their best to differentiate and promote their services, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) wil 3/08/2009 11:08 PM Eastern
Introducing LEED 09
Next month, with the economy almost certainly still gripped by recession and AV professionals doing their best to differentiate and promote their services, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) will release the newest version of its benchmark Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system.
Next month, with the economy almost certainly still gripped by recession and AV professionals doing their best to differentiate and promote their services, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) will release the newest version of its benchmark Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system.
While the much-anticipated LEED 2009 still does not explicitly reflect the role of AV technologies in potentially reducing a building's carbon footprint, it includes enough changes that AV pros considering a green strategy or encouraging employees to pursue LEED Accredited Professional (LEED-AP) status should be aware of them. As more AV designers and integrators team with architects and builders, green AV proponents believe it's important to at least "speak" LEED.
Not all LEED rating systems are getting an upgrade. LEED 2009's focus is on the commercial building industry. Among the updated ratings that are of interest to AV pros: LEED for New Construction, LEED for Commercial Interiors, LEED for Existing Buildings, and LEED for Schools. Among the most important changes to the LEED lexicon is the point system. With LEED 2009, USGBC has made it so rating systems are uniform, which is to say a credit in New Construction is the same as it is in Commercial Interiors, according to Ashley Katz, spokesperson for USGBC. "We assigned a weighting priority to each of 13 areas and put reducing CO2 emissions and improving energy efficiency as the No. 1 goal."
Now buildings are rated on a 100-point scale, whether in New Construction or Commercial Interiors. Projects that reach 40 points will be certified green. Those with 50 points get silver certification, 60 points merit gold, and those with 80 points or more receive platinum status.
Still, the maximum potential points is 110, which includes "bonus" credits for Innovation in Design and a new category, Regional Priority Credits.
AV pros who've been working on LEED projects are well aware that the Innovation in Design section is their best place to make a case for systems like videoconferencing. Many say builders and architects often already have in mind what they consider Innovation in Design, making it hard to get attention for a particularly energy-efficient AV design. But in LEED 2009, there is one extra Innovation in Design credit available. (The number of credits went from four to five, not including the existing credit for using LEED-APs on the job.)
More significantly, LEED 2009 includes new Regional Priority Credits that buildings can attain by paying particular attention to sustainability requirements in their part of the country. USGBC uses the examples of heating oil conservation in the Northeast and water conservation in the Southwest, but what exactly qualifies for a Regional Priority Credit won't necessarily be determined by the same people who maintain the LEED rating system. USGBC Regional Councils and Chapters will identify a set of possible credit for their regions; projects will be eligible to earn up to four of them.
Like Innovation in Design credits, Regional Credits could be an opportunity for grassroots AV organizations to work with local chapters to identify possibilities for AV solutions, such as remote areas of the country where distance conferencing could play a role in reducing a facility's carbon footprint.
Technology progresses
Despite the significant revamp, buildings already LEED-certified won't be required to re-certify.
"I wouldn't say that projects certified under the LEED 2009 rating system would be better than those certified in 2000," says Katz. "But certainly the building community has made advances that would lead one building to be higher-performing than another based on when products were made available."
USGBC, however, encourages buildings that earned New Construction certification to re-certify as Existing Buildings, for example, two years or more after receiving their initial rating. In fact, a look at the revisions to the rating systems indicates that AV pros have more to contribute to LEED status in the Commercial Interiors and Existing Buildings systems, where control systems come into play more. The former now offers more points for lighting controls, including occupancy sensors for 75 percent of the connected lighting load.
Not surprisingly, control is also key in schools. LEED 2009 for Schools appears to grant more leeway in controlling regular illumination and AV situations. It also now makes more explicit prerequisites for acoustical performance, including the use and placement of acoustical panels.
Interested AV pros can download documents pertaining to LEED 2009, including information on LEED-AP status, at www.usgbc.org/leed2009.

DOTHAN, Ala. (AP) -- An Alabama court has overturned the conviction of a Dothan man sentenced to death in a 2006 robbery and slaying at a nightclub.
The Dothan Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/KKrIqf ) the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals says it threw out the murder conviction of 26-year-old Kenneth McKinnis because the trial judge amended the terms of the indictment during his oral instructions to the jury.
Houston County Circuit Judge Ed Jackson sentenced McKinnis to death in 2008 after a jury convicted him of slaying Byron Belser at the Champagne Lounge while the suspect was robbing the nightclub's owner.
David Hogg, McKinnis' defense lawyer, says he expects the case will be retried before a different judge.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Baker Hughes Inc , the
third-largest U.S.-listed oilfield services company, posted a
higher quarterly profit but warned the drilling moratorium in
the Gulf of Mexico would hurt results through the year, sending
its shares down 12 percent.
The April 20 blow-out at a BP Plc well, on which
Halliburton had performed cementing work, led to a
regulatory crackdown as the U.S. government froze deepwater
activity in the Gulf through November while it crafts new
safety rules.
Baker Hughes said the moratorium hurt its business on the
shelf and in deepwater by 3 cents per share during the quarter
and could reduce earnings by 8 cents to 11 cents per quarter in
the second half of the year.
Baker Hughes' estimate came in above smaller rival Smith
International, which said the moratorium would impact earnings
by 4 cents to 6 cents per share in the third quarter, and
Halliburton, which expects the moratorium to trim earnings per
share by 5 cents to 8 cents a quarter for the rest of 2010
Both Baker Hughes and Smith International, however,
reported higher second-quarter profits, helped by strong North
American drilling activity.
The results come little over a week after oilfield services
leaders Schlumberger Ltd and Halliburton reported a
jump in quarterly profits on brisk activity on land in North
Net income at Baker Hughes rose to $93 million, or 23 cents
per share, from $87 million, or 28 cents per share, last year.
Revenue at the company, which bought smaller peer BJ
Services last year, grew 44 percent to $3.37 billion.
Baker Hughes said while performance improved in North
America, Russia and Asia Pacific over the first quarter, it
lagged in Africa and Latin America.
Lower customer spending in Latin America hurt Smith
International as well, but this was offset by a sequential
increase in land-based revenue in the United States.
Net income at the company, which agreed to sell itself to
Schlumberger, rose to $65.1 million, or 26 cents per share,
from $24.4 million, or 11 cents a share, last year. Revenue
rose 21 percent to $2.3 billion.

One small school in Floyd County finds itself in the middle of an investigation regarding payments made to the school's director.
Attorney General Jack Conway's office filed a petition against former David School Director Daniel Greene in circuit court.
Court records indicate that the state attorney general's office is investigating payments made to Greene and asking the school to hand over documents relating to those payments.
A petition was filed after Greene allegedly used school funds for his own profit.
School officials say they were shocked when they heard the news.
The school's principal says she's helping the students through this confusing time.
"I and the other teachers will answer questions but there really aren't questions that we can answer right now because there aren't answers. We're certainly available to anyone who wants to talk about it," David School Principal Diantha Daniels said.
Principal Daniels says that she cannot directly comment on the issue at this time, but says she continues to keep the Greene family in her prayers.

Politics Counts
where does he take his cue's from denouncing his American citizenship? you'd think he was living in a country where the president was anti-capitalism, or anti-business, or anti-American, or anti-white, or anti-semitic, or anti-religion or anti-productive. or where the first beast spent her life being ashamed of America. little does he know how many many of us are eyeing departure as well if obozo wins a second term. let him steal money for his minions from the liberals who bow to him.
I was wondering as to why he did not want to go down with the ship? We are all in this together? Attention all baby boomers!
How is what Saverin has done any different from those who left the US (or threatened to do so, at least Saverin didn't just resort to "mere" words) during Bush II?
Does Schumer realize that many immigrants leave their nations of birth (many coming to the US) for the same reason Saverin has renounced his US Citizenship (to escape what they perceive as oppressive governments). Is he outraged about that?
I also have a problem with the written piece which makes no mention of these conservatives rallying around Saverin. Why is this left out?
Republicans are loyal only to money.
Republicans voted for tax breaks while our poorly armed troops died in two wars.
If Schumer gets his way then we are one step closer to not letting people leave at all. Congratulations Mr. Schumer you are helping to make the United States just like all the other nations of the world.
Don't forget the military - someone's gotta protect the haves from the have nots
Republicans who came out against it are loyal only to money. Tax breaks for the rich, who they worship. But screw the rest of you.
I think John Boehner is right - current law should already cover this. If he made the capital gains in this country for this fiscal year, he would still be liable to pay taxes on that amount even if he leaves after the money was made here.
What a hypocrite!
On December 14, 2008 the New York Times published an article on Schumer's role in the Wall Street meltdown. The article stated that Schumer embraced the industry's free-market, deregulatory agenda more than any other Democrat in Congress, even backing measures now blamed for contributing to the financial crisis.[94] Schumer took steps to protect industry players from government oversight and tougher rules, a review of his record shows. Over the years, he has also helped save financial institutions billions of dollars in higher taxes or fees. He succeeded in limiting efforts to regulate credit-rating agencies. This article also charged that Schumer blocked ratings agencies reforms proposed by the Bush Administration and the Cox SEC.[94] [Wikipedia]
You must be a product of the public school system. Every time tax rates have been reduced, the economy expands, the tax base grows and revenues to the federal treasury have increased. So what does increasing revenues have to do with troops fighting and dying for your right to display your lack of knowledge?
If these billionaires and multi-millionaires that made their fortunes in America and off the backs of hard-working American taxpayers feel like they have a right to flee the country and renege on their responsibilities to this nation, good riddance to them,. They are losers, parasites that feel entitled to a fortune but do not want to face the consequences of their riches. Average Americans pay their taxes. Why do profit-laden corporations and elitist billionaires think they should be treated so differently? http://www.sunstateactivist.org
"Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) lambasted conservatives who rallied around the Facebook Inc. co-founder who decided to give up his U.S. citizenship shortly before a stock sale that turned him into a paper billionaire, saying that the logic of the Republican party's right wing was "scary.""
Obviously, the man feels that the value of his American citizenship is NOT worth the price. He apparently feels that being taxed to death by the likes of Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) is not desirable.
While I have no love for the man, it is his choice and I respect his decision. I think that the logic of 'Republican party's right wing' is that they also respect the decision to leave due to high taxes.
It would be much better to encourage entrepreneurs to stay by lowering tax rates thereby building companies and jobs here in the USA.
The logic of Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y. ) to increase taxes and discourage creative people from building business here in the USA is more scary ! He has been in public office too long.
Remember to vote in November 2012.
Saverin has gotten some terrible tax advise: he still has to file a 2012 return which will show he made a capital gain on the sale of his shares. If he was going to "bug out", he needed to do so before December 31, 2011 to pull off this tax avoidance scheme.
Saverin is a "hero" to the right because his stand is a cause dear to them. Imagine if it was a cause important to non-conservatives; imagine if it was a stand during the Bush-Cheney admin. motivated by opposition to the Iraq war. Let's just say the right would not be so kind. It's all about scoring political points, and even abandoning citizenship can be used.
Oppressors like Sen. Schumer never have good things to say about anyone who exposes them for what they are.
What a load of nonsense from hypocrite politician like Schumer.
Saverin made a personal decision to leave this country. He does not hate this country. Period.
BTW: Saverin was an Obama supporter. And he still has to pay plenty of tax, plus an exit tax.
Does anyone realize that every single other country on earth has a territorial tax system?
Saverin has made at least 3 billion dollars, with a 20 per cent capital gain next year , he will pay at 600 million dollars, never senator shumer would have contributed to America what saverin did for america.
Senator Shumer will not be reelected in NY next time.
Schumer the Lip better get used to people fleeing the US Tax Code, which he has helped to create, perpetuate and obfuscate during his less than stellar tenure. This coming from a man who has made a career out of keeping Wal-Mart out of New York City! To me, Schumer cares a hell of a lot more about what is going on in Israel than what is going on here. He has a problem understanding Tea Party logic, I am confounded by the logic of the left wing lunatic fringe of the Democratic Party, of which Schumer and Casey personify.
The logic of those who support market economies is only scary to people who don't understand why capitalism is better than socialism....people like Chuck Schumer.
Schumer is right. How dare anyone leave US for tax reason! If you get an issue with taxes
a) Just cheat on your taxes and get an appointments in Obama administration, you may even get to be the secretary of treasury and play with the funny money.
b) Advocate taxing the other guy, just like Warren Buffet does while hiding your wealth behind non taxable entities.
c) Make a living of a low life politician by advocating robbing of Peter to pay Paul and expressing outrage on anything that threatens your livelihood.
Did Shumer bllast Buffett for turing over billions to the Gates Foundation in order to avoid taxes? Another career politician that doesn't have his feet on terra ferma.
""My criticism of our friend Mr. Schumer was that his bill was similar to the German legislation from the '30s," which Mr. Norquist said predated Nazi rule, though the Nazis kept the law in place. "He's the guy who yelled Nazi. I didn't say Nazi. I didn't say National Socialist." His original quote, given to the Hill newspaper, mentioned "Germany in the 1930s and Rhodesia in the '70s and in South Africa as well."
Who would think that Schumer would misquote someone? Who, indeed? Schumer is worse than BO. Maybe the least educated most divisive man in politics. every time I hear his voice I want to ralph.
I think we should take up a collection and send Schumer to Singapore.
Maybe we should tax anybody that ever set foot in the US? Schumer would support it.
What Putzhead refuses to acknowledge is that the various reporting requirements imposed on offshore banks that do business US citizens is so heavy and complicated now that most of them do not take business from US citizens. Further, given that the person involved has permanently relocated to Singapore to live, he probably uses little, if any, services of the US going forward. He will pay taxes, but the reason for his renouncing citizenship is not solely to avoid paying them. The number of people renouncing citizenship per year has doubled since Obama took office. Maybe a connection, maybe not, but it was level at half of its present rate for the Bush years and then did a step up when Obama took over.
I note that the vast majority of naysayers don't focus on the 15% capital gains tax that Mr. Saverin would be asked (and will be asked) to pay. Again- where's their patriotism? Living here is not free - and taxes are what we pay for a civilized society. And by the way- those of us who work in import/export trade know well that the Obama Administration has worked harder than any other to make the process less onerous and more transparent. That doesn't sound anti-capitalist to me - and it's making my job easier in helping people export/import to the USA. Know your facts, people, before repeating Fox News' talking points, will you?
And THIS isn't scary: "Mr. Schumer proposed legislation with Sen. Bob Casey (D., Pa.) to prevent Mr. Saverin and other wealthy Americans from escaping future U.S. capital-gains taxes by giving up their U.S. passports." Add to this Mr. Schumer's comments about never letting Mr. Saverin set foot on American soil again! That Mr. Schumer is surprised shows how out of touch he is with the average American. While I'm not thrilled with Mr. Saverin's decision, it nonetheless portrayed to me the character of the Democratic Party and their handling of our money. They demand more money but refuse to get our financial house in order with wise use of our tax dollars including passing a yearly budget as required by law. Mr. Saverin was in a position to leave, and he did, because he was a legal immigrant. The rest of us who were born here will have to make our own declarations loudly in November with a ballot.
Senator Cluck reminds me of an old horse: bad posture, slow gait, past his prime. He really never competed. He always got a check whether his product sold or didn't sell (it didn't). He wants what others have. Further, illegal draft dodgers went to jail; legal ones went to college. If he and his friends are so smart, why are we in the shape we're in? It is Saverin who found the tax code scary.
Don't Let Schumer defined the story as about taxes. Its really only in small part an issue of taxation..
The bigger deal for a very wealth investor like Saverin is that the new FATCA law will impose not impose a high degree of transparency over all his global financial dealings , but that it will by extension impose it on ALL of his non-US co-investors in potential future business deals. Under FATCA, if an "US person" is a 10% owner of a foreign private corporation or partnership, the whole partnership must report at a very high level of disclosure to the IRS. This means not only exposing the underlying value and cash flows attributable to the "US person" but to a large extent all the investors, whether they are US persons or not. Why would a big consortium of mainly non-US investors allow a "US person" to join their private equity fund or buy-out under such circumstances? American investors are being systematically excluded from all kinds of business deals outside the US by virtue of the fact that allowing them in at a 10% or larger stake results in all the partners having their activity reported to the IRS, which is something they don't want, obviously. Furthermore, it is hugely expensive and complicated to comply with. For small investment groups or business venture, the cost of tax and legal compliance necessary when a significant US stakeholder takes part rise dramatically for all the participants.
This is about taxes yes, but a whole lot more as well as you noted. But no one is really writing about the huge problems being created by FATCA and other laws for Americans trying to do business outside the US.
You may find this post that I penned yesterday on the top of interest.
Schumer is the worst kind of trash. Its shocking anyone votes for him.
Please Chuck, you are useless. Please retire so the rest of the country doesn't have to watch your theatrics. Its is people like you, elected by parasites, that are destroying this country. GO AWAY!
remind me, when did Schumer serve in the military so that he'ld have a leg to stand on when referring to the draft/military service? Isn't Schumer "pro-choice?" So why can't this guy chose where he wants to live? I don't like what the facebook guy is doing but not everyone in a free society makes the choice I would. Wonder if Schumer will do the principled thing and boycott facebook -- or does he relish the publicity so much that he'll take what he can?
Schumer is a Hitler wannabee who is glad to take your money, and make you his slave. If you seek to flee his plantation, he will send the IRS after you.
Escaping taxes is always a higher priority for conservatives, Wall Street and too big to fail corporations than national identify. For them, let the little guy pay taxes for the privilege of living in America while they enjoy its tax free bounty.
Anyone who wishes to leave a free country should be free to do so. Sen. Schumer is taking a page out of German history, East German. It is interesting that the left is offended by a fence that would keep people out of the US, but is so eager to erect one to keep people in, and to demonize those who would tunnel under it to escape. In Senator Schumer's Amerika, the barbed wire on the fence leans in like a prison, not out like a secure compound.
Last I checked in with Schumer, he was intent on finding the speculators who were running up the cost of oil.
I haven't heard much from him on who is causing the drop in oil. Wonder why those speculators stopped chasing the price up?
Find another windmill, Chuck.
A favor and just DIE
Saverin rebuked Schumer's gracious offer of perpetual serfdom. If this catches on, how are Schumer and his cohorts supposed to pretend they will create green jobs, pay quid pro quo to their political supporters, and still have money left over to supply themselves and their friends with enough blow at their government funded parties and conventions? This unfortunate turn of events is simply deplorable, dishonorable and unpatriotic.
Socialist Schumer.
Nothing scares a liberal more than someone leaving with cash that could have been there own.
Schumer you idiot, your good friends Charlie Rangel and Tim Geithner are actual tax cheats. Can we ban them from the country please?
Nothing speaks to the chasm separating American's better than the opposing views of the "Saverin problem." Several of the anonymous posts are blinded by their envy of others' successes and are willing to discard centuries of Constitutionally protected rights to punish anyone who is wealthier or has the audacity to leave. It is this sort of thinking that can turn a (reasonably) free land into a concentration camp, as Mr. Akston astutely notes in an earlier post. Schumer illustrates perfectly the notion that statism's call for "social justice" requires the abdication of liberty.
I assumed my name & photo would autiomatically appear,as in my regular WSJ posts.
Mr. Schumer has never held a private sector job; he has held elective office since he graduated from law school. No wonder he thinks he's entitled to the proceeds from the private sector.
Liberty and Tyranny........Schumer believes in both, as long as they only apply to the political class (warfare) tools such as himself......receiving the first, and doling out the latter.
this guy is a poster boy of why nobody likes new yorkers. texas has the bunkers and the perots but this guy exceeds both in plain obnoxiousness.
Who is he kidding? Schumer is only disappointed he can't get his hands on some of that cash.
US government continues to make it in possible for a US taxpayer to reside in another country. Most banks will not do business with Americans because the tremendous amount of red tape required by the US government of the bank that has to be generated, and transfered to the US. They are just not going to hire translators, accountants to file the documentation on a regular, and revolving basis. There are many companies that reduce the exchange rate saving expats money that are also no longer available to American citizens. It is just strange after talking to business to get told "you are American? I'm sorry the company does not do business with US citizens"! I really hate that especially if they smile.
Hey Chuckie,
Did Saverin break any laws? No!. Did he come here, create wealth and jobs and get taxed for it? Yes! Maybe not to your liking, but then again you live in a state that makes a lot of its money off hucksters who gamble with other peoples money. I don't recall a peep out of you about risky Wall St practices when the money was flowing in.
But as long as you're complaining about rogues who dodge taxes illegally, how about waxing just a wee bit indignant about you fellow New Yorker Charlie Rangel's illegal tax dodge? Or your fellow senator Chris Dodd's CountryWide deal and tax problems. Chris didn't retire voluntarily you know.
There is some visceral sympathy for Saverin because a lot of people see your president as the sworn enemy of individual initiative and success. Obama is debauching the dollar and wants to redistribute more and more of our hard earned money. Are you surprised that folks might start thinking that once he's tapped out the income tax that direct theft of savings and property is next?
You whine that your ancestors were persecuted by the Germans. How many of them fled the Bolsheviks because they recognized the same theft taking place in Russia that Obama wants to institute here?
You are a walking caricature of sleazy NY hucksters and Senate liars and thieves. I wonder what those ancestors would thing of Chuck the abettor.
This is really disgusting. Schumer is a dinasour that doesn't realize what is going on in the real world. For fair disclosure, I am an ex-pat living in Switzerland working for a US Company. My wife is french and the opportunity for my career and my wife and children was too good to pass up. But the draconian US tax laws have also made me ready to give up my citizenship. It is not an issue of paying my fair share. I pay more than my fair share to Switzerland. It is an issue that the US tax code does not align with other countries economies. For example, yes I am paid more in Switzerland, but yes it costs a lot more i.e. $350 is a norm for an oil change. $20 is a value meal at McDonalds.
Besides that, preventing persons from leaving the US is morally wrong. Using the IRS as a gestapo police is equally wrong. Their message is we will get you no matter where you go. The rules are so complex that you spend a fortune on tax advice and the so called experts don't even agree on the tax code, so for a normal American just trying to fulfill his obligation becomes a stressful and paranoid process. The forms for American's overseas are 10 times as many as in the US. It is this that people try to escape. Inconsistencies in the tax law. Switzerland has a tax on wealth, the US doesn't recongnize this tax, so there is no credit for the tax being paid. Or, the fact that the US Government doesn't recognize Swiss pensions as legitamate retirnement programs. Since the Swiss tax the pension like a 401K (no tax til withdrawl) the US government says we don't care it isn't a valid retirement plan so you must pay tax now.) Not so great if between me an my employer I am putting 15% of my salary in the Swiss (required pension) and the US wants to tax it at 35%. But guess what, I can't touch the money because I'm not retired, so where do I get the funds for the tax... Schumer is so ignorant of the impact that the draconian US approach is to Ex-pats and his reaction is just going to make it worse. I will be exploring giving up my citizenship and not to avoid any tax, but rather to live in peace.
I never thought I would be put in such a position. And I used to have the same view that people who give up their citizenship are unpatriotic. Not any more, living overseas gives you a new perspective on just how far in the wrong direction the US has gone.
Not to mention, he did pay his taxes, when he expatriated over 1 year ago. By the Media reports you would think this just happened. Why wasn't this an issue one year ago when he gave up his citizenship. Also, he was wealthy enough at that point that the US required him to pay an exit tax of 30% above $2million in value! Yes 30% on his assets. An incredibly large price to pay. Now what Schumer is complaining about is that Severine won't pay taxes to America in perpetuity based on whatever tax code changes happen. Good move in my opinion for he and others to get out of the US.
Hey Chuck you Schumer, irrespective of your vaunted position on high, apparently you have no clue as to the laws in the USA. Could you please explain what Saverin did that was illegal. Too bad for you that he's a lot smarter thasn you or those who vote for you. If you and your supporters were a lot more industrious, i.e. stay in school and study, puit you nose to the grindstone, etc., maybe you and your ilk wouldn't be so jealous.
Yup, you have to belong to the US gov't body, mind, and soul to be a patriot. After all, it's the gov't that has made us great. Not innovation like Facebook, not hard work and freedom. Nope, it's the politicians who make promises that they can't keep without EVEN MORE of your hard-earned money. By the way, heard a Bloomberg interview with another rich guy who says taxes should be raised: Eli Broad. But when asked about making a DONATION to the US gov't, he declined. Just... can't... put his money where his mouth is.
Schumer is smarter and kinder and more intelligent than the rest of us. He cares more about people than the rest of us. He is a good shepherd to us, the dumb, the lazy, the fecund, the unemployable, the lifelong leeches. Please keep him in his senate position so he can continue to do the brilliant work that he has started. What a guy!
i think shumer, with his counseling, was able to bring michelle obama around as well, since she is now proud to be an American. i predict, however, that she may also change her mind and defect once november 3rd rolls around.
Schumer's just another government thief. Saverin is only reacting rationally to the threat Schumer and his band of thieving scum..
Ah the arrogance of a New York Politician. Last I looked their economy wasn't exactly robust. Eliminate the financial sector tax revenue yearly bailout and what else do you have in the state. To the turkeys that reelect him, your politics don't speak for me. I live in a state that favors job creation instead of driving it out as your gubner does so well. He seems to forget (as most democrats do) that GOVERNMENT SERVES ITS PEOPLE, not the other way around. Taxing expats indefinitely is unethical. Only in this country is our tax system so unnecessarily complex. Do your job, stop spending my tax payor dollars like a drunken sailor, and maybe just maybe, the countries problems will be solved.
Schumer: "All your money R belong to us!"
Schumer is the same fool who lobbied to increase the skilled fee visa.. increasing it 3-4 times so that it could pay to track illegal immigrants. illegals are every where roaming this country freely. And this fool and his likes found no other way to better curb illegals?? Schumer has a history of lobbying for issues that drain tax payer dollars. I wonder how do these j a$$ get elected over n over.
"Welcome to Hotel Schumer - You can check out, but you can never leave!" (Apologies to the Eagles)
Some Republicans have sided with Mr. Schumer, like House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), who said on Sunday that Mr. Saverin's behavior was outrageous, and that he would support the legislation if necessary.
Hey Schumer haters, I see no comments insulting John Boehner.
Not a surprise at all that the party who only cares about money would protect a billionaire who treacherously deserts the country that allowed him to make his fortunes, without paying all his obligations first. These GOPers have no country, no loyalty, no morals, nothing except a love for the dollar. They represent an infinitely larger threat to this nation than any external enemy flying planes into our buildings, because they are among us constantly, dress like us, talk like us, wave no curved swords,, supposedly pray to the same God, vote so that their profit making interests take precedence to all, and would sell and are selling their own people and land to anyone if the price is high enough. This is what will collapse this country from within, if it is not reigned in soon enough. Not some Afghan or Iranian or Iraqi "enemy".
Schumer didn't raise an issue with Bill Clinton's eleventh-hour pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich ... He was also charged with 51 counts of tax fraud and etc.
Lower the cost to do business in the US and this will not happen. Companies are moving their domicile outside the US because of Obama and Schumer's policies.
If you need a fence to keep people in then maybe you are on the wrong side of the issue...
Schumer is right. Pat Buchanan has been saying things like these for years. Are some on the right patriotic or merely corporate tools? It should be obvious that you can't be the latter without running the risk of no longer being the former. Ha. This exposes many on the right for the cowardly snakes that they are. A real patriot would not renounce his citizenship for any reason, much less for financial reasons.

How to Get a Job in Book Publishing
4 tips for turning your love of books into a career- June 10, 2013
For the countless number of books published each year, there are only a few that become true breakout successes, selling millions upon millions of copies, hijacking the bestsellers lists and becoming permanently etched in American pop culture.
And, while great storytelling is at least partly responsible for their success, there is also an expansive team behind the scenes, working diligently to ensure that every plot twist is meticulously crafted, that the cover is so well-designed that readers drop $25 for the hardcover without blinking, and that those same characters will hopefully transcend the pages and end up on the big screen.
The publishing industry's digital revolution has been well documented, but the big and indie houses still need a few good men (and women) with undeniable skills to help shape and sell the next crop of bestsellers. Think you've got what it takes? Follow these four steps to get your foot in book publishing's door.

Cellular Activity: Adventure in The Endomembrane System
The endomembrane system of the cell.
In the world of business, it is important that factories produce products and then ship them out to the store in a manner that is as efficient as possible. Inside the cells of an animal (such as yourself), a similar process takes place in the cell in what is referred to as the endomembrane system.
The endomembrane system is one of the places inside the cell where proteins are synthesised by ribosomes. They are then transported from there through out the Endoplasmic Reticulum where sugar tags are added to the proteins through a process called glycosylation. This gives a function to the protein while acting as an identifier for the cell.
Image via Wikipedia
From the Endoplasmic Reticulum, the proteins are then transferred to the cells shipping centre – the Golgi Apparatus. Here further processing of the proteins take place making proteins more usable by the cell. After the proteins are then transported by vesicles to their location in or out of the cell.
The cells of animals are similar in many ways to the models of business that we may find in society. Through organization cells and businesses are more efficient; thus, saving them energy in the process.

You know Big Data is a big deal when people who write about it use capital letters. And let's face it, it is a big deal. For digital marketers, big data holds the key to truly understanding who our customers are and what motivates them to act. It's about capturing and integrating dynamic customer profile data – transactional, behavioral, demographic, and preference data – to drive meaningful and relevant customer communications. It's all very technological and precise. And it can be a little daunting. But it doesn't have to be if you introduce the concept of serendipity into the big data mix.
Serendipity has been identified by linguists as being one of the hardest English words to translate into other languages. The definition that resonates with me is, "making fortunate discoveries while searching for other things." That got me to thinking about how marketers use data to segment their audiences based on similar attributes in order to target them with relevant communications. It's a proven tactic, but what if we were to take it a step further.
Here's a simple example:
Say you're an online marketer at a large discount retail chain and you use marketing analytics to identify a group of customers who self-report that they are females between 35 and 49 years of age. You notice that during June and July they browse your website for markers, kids' scissors, glue sticks, and colored pencils.
The data suggests that they are mothers of small children, or crafters. Great! You have the fodder to develop a couple of digital campaigns with good potential for success, targeted to these groups. But what if you dug a little deeper into the data, and let serendipity take the reins. You might discover that this group purchases these items in bulk in August, about 20 sets at once. That's right – they're teachers. And you've nailed it – your digital campaign is assured of hitting its mark, plus you've identified a seasonal segment to re-market to annually. Cha-ching!
So rather than be intimidated by big data, relegate it to lower case, and leave room for serendipity in data-driven decision-making. By being open to discovering what you're not looking for, you might discover something that's just as valuable – or even more valuable – than what you were looking for.
This post is the first in a series of my "softer side" perspectives, emphasizing the human element behind the art and science of digital marketing. I'd love to share your thoughts on the subject as well – let me know what's on your mind.

Many artists struggle with understanding that effective marketing is - at the least - just as important as creating the art itself.
Virginia Peacock gets it.
At 11:15 a.m. this day, Peacock is intent on untangling and racking up hangers at Walla Walla's Goodwill Industries store.
"Virginia loves her job," said Emily Daniel, who supervises Peacock and others in the store's processing room. "She does a lot of different things."
That includes tagging clothing, books and accessories, Daniel added. "One of her favorite jobs is books."
Devoted to her work, yes, but at exactly 11:30 a.m. Peacock pulls off her blue apron and heads to the time clock to punch out.
It's time for her second job.
Choosing a jacket the color of a spring daffodil out of her locker, Peacock questions the room in general: "Is it warm out?"
With that, she gathers up a cloth art portfolio, says goodbye to several coworkers and hits the street, ready for direct marketing.
Peacock, 51, has been an artist for more than two decades, having been under the wing of a number of local art teachers, noted her mother, Rosemary Peacock.
Virginia paints nearly every day, rising from her chair once "Jeopardy" is rolling the credits and moving to a card table set up in the family dining room.
She finds inspiration for her work - most filled with whimsical animals, insects and flowers in primitive style - from nature shows on TV, her family said.
"And I paint Jesus with the angels," the artist said.
She averages four paintings a day, Peacock explained, as she filled in background around an exotic bird in full feather with a blue watercolor wash. She colors some creatures with crayon and adds paint the next day, Peacock said.
Her tools are made by Crayola and she gets her mat paper free from a couple of local galleries.
After sorting her pictures at Goodwill, Peacock stashes her best work under her arm as she walks down the sidewalk of Alder Street. She does this six days a week, rain or shine, she said.
A circuitous route brings Peacock to Sweet Basil pizzeria on First Avenue, where she sets her bag by the first table, as if it was put there for such purpose.
She first spies Alex Teeters, who is eating lunch. "Would you like to see my paintings?"
"Sure," he replies with enthusiasm.
Alex, wife Angie and daughter, Lela, 4, are from Dayton and don't know that Peacock and her work is well known in downtown Walla Walla. The trio peruses a number of giraffes, cats and butterflies.
"They have a price on them," Peacock says hopefully.
In the end, the Teeters decline to make a purchase but thank the artist for the privilege of looking things over. With that, Peacock is quickly out the door. At Aloha Sushi, Peacock tries again, approaching two young ladies who are waiting for takeout orders. With polite smiles, both tell her "Not today. Sorry."
It's enough that people look at her art, Peacock says later - her feelings are not hurt when she doesn't seal the deal with the $5 she prices each picture.
This day was unsuccessful for sales, but she'll be trying again the next afternoon, Peacock said before heading off to catch a bus.
Just as for any other artist, it's the appreciation of her patrons that's the real payoff.

The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services has made federal funding available to provide employment for local youth, ages 15 to 24.
The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services has made federal funding available to provide employment for local youth, ages 15 to 24.
This year, Tuscarawas County Jobs and Family Services has received $329,270 to create jobs for qualified students.
The Tuscarawas County Commissioners approved the funding Monday for the Summer Youth Employment Program, which officially begins May 15.
"It helps develop skills leading to self-sufficiency," said Michelle Tope, the executive director of Tuscarawas County Jobs and Family Services.
Tope said the funding is through the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program.
As an example, she said, high school students who qualify for free and reduced lunch may be eligible for the employment program.
Last year, more than 40 students secured summer jobs. Tope said that number will increase. She said students can secure positions at nonprofits, parks and recreation, libraries and more.
It depends on work sites making jobs available, she said.
HARCATUS, a community action organization for Harrison, Carroll and Tuscarawas counties, will recruit the youth, develop the work sites and implement the program. The organization will partner with The Employment Source, Tope said.
She said the most interested students are in high school and the hope is they will take those skills into adulthood. The program ends Aug. 31.
Commissioner Chris Abbuhl said he appreciated the program.
"They're building skills and bringing a little bit of money home," he said.
Anyone interested in applying for the program or providing a work site can contact HARCATUS at 740-922-1083.

DIY Nature: Starting Your Own Compost By AccidentTuesday, April 13th, 2010
For a long time I yearned to start making my own compost, but there was always something standing in the way. There was the lack of immediate gratification, the choice between designs: one bin, two bin, three bin, rack and tumbler systems. Once I'd bought or built my bin, I'd need to "turn" all that compost. Turning sounded easy enough, save for the rake breakdown I had while gathering leaves. Needless to say, the whole business of composting seemed a little daunting, and if it weren't for forces unseen, I might've missed out on the good life altogether. Luckily nature had a plan of its own.
Here are the basic steps I took to inadvertently start my own compost–they'll probably work for you too:
- Go outside and look for a good place to build your compost bin.
- Realize there are a lot of good places, get indecisive, and instead, take the leaves, grass clippings, and handful of rotten lettuce that you were going to put in the bin and just toss them in a pile until you settle on the right spot later.
- Get distracted, do something unrelated, and forget you ever wanted to compost.
- After about a month, remember that you wanted to start composting and go reassess the situation.
- Grin as you realize that, together, you, time, and nature somehow already started a compost pile–all without nailing anything together!
- Enjoy the benefits (less trash, healthier plants, deeper satisfaction).
Composting is so easy, it can happen by accident. As you grow in the art, however, you might want to refine your operation a little. Here are a few helpful tips:
- Stirring, or "turning," the heap every few days keeps the aerobic bacteria happy, healthy, and hot (composter's lingo for more intense decomposition).
- Kitchen waste (veggies, egg shells, coffee grounds, etc.) is usually high in nitrogen; plants love nitrogen, so don't be shy with it.
- Keep it vegetarian; no meat, bones, or plastic. Also, no chemically treated wood or diseased plants.
With a little time and almost zero work, you'll have dark, rich compost crawling with earthworms and creatures of every variety waiting to decompose your waste and tend to your garden.

Which way will Green lean when deciding its future? Todd Porter gives his opinion.
Who knows what Green Local Schools will do when it comes time to pick a league and play in it.
Green is considering ending its 60-plus year status as a charter member of the Suburban League and coming to the Federal League.
Intially, the Federal League looked at expanding along the I-77 corridor with schools in Summit and Medina counties, and adding a northern division to the league.
There's only one problem: Only Green is interested in coming to the league.
Now the prospects of playing a six-game Federal League schedule in football for Green may not look so tempting, as opposed to say, a seven or eight-game Suburban League schedule. Green can make the playoffs in the Suburban League. It will take Green several years to be competitive in football in the Federal League. Playoffs? No one will have to worry about playoff ticket revenue for football for a while there.
Green has struggled the last five years playing two Federal League games a year. The Bulldogs are 2-8 in the those games. The only wins have come against Jackson and Lake, two programs that have struggled at times themselves during the last five seasons.
When all this league shakeup talk started, I figured Green to be a better than 50-percent chance of jumping to the Federal League.
I would say that's closer now to about 40 percent.
If the Federal League goes to a six-team league after this coming school year when Boardman leaves, that means athletic directors in the conference will have to schedule five games a year.
It's difficult to schedule games after Week 3 because most other teams are into their conference schedules.
People have raised the question about Lake leaving for an expanded Suburban League.
That isn't going to happen ... for now.
Suburban League commissioner Keither Walker said Lake had no interest in attending an informational meeting about expansion, and Lake is not in the plans for the Suburban League right now.
If Lake had any thoughts about leaving, administrators would have been at that meeting. Lake will stay in the Federal League.
Forbes Magazine came out with its annual list of sports franchise values, and Real Madrid is the most valuable franchise in the world at $3.3 billion.
The most valuable team in the U.S. is the the Yankees at $2.3 billion, putting them fourth. The Cowboys are next at $2.1 billion followed by the Patriots at $1.64 billion. Five of the top nine are NFL teams.
Forbes valued the Browns at $987 million, or the 21st most valuable team in the NFL. Unlike most others, Forbes had good numbers on the Browns because Jimmy Haslam just bought the team. According to the magazine, Haslam bought the Browns for $1.05 billion, with 70 percent of that being paid last October. Haslam will buy — presuming he doesn't get pinched by the IRS and FBI — Lerner's remaining stake in 2015.
Page 2 of 3 - CREDIT TO PATRIOTS OWNER
Patriots owner Robert Kraft, a season-ticket holder long before becoming an owner, really is a shrewd businessman. In 1985, Kraft bought a parcel of land next to old Schaefer Stadium where the team played. Kraft eventually bought the stadium out of bankruptcy for $25 million, which included the Patriots' lease with the stadium. By 1994, ownership offered Kraft $75 million to buy out the remainder of the team's lease with the stadium in an effort to move the Patriots to St. Louis.
Kraft said no, and made a counter proposal to buy the Patriots for $175 million. The offer was accepted.
Less than 20 years after that, Kraft's Patriots are worth $1.635 billion. That's a gain of more than 830 percent on the initial investment.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame is inviting the public to the front steps at 11 a.m. Aug. 2 to take a photo of the largest gathering of hall of famers ever. Fans will want to bring a camera as more than 120 hall of famers are expected to come to town this year for the 50th anniversary celebration.
The Browns have yet to sign first-round pick Barkevious Mingo. Only in the NFL can teams and agents haggle about something that now is pretty cut and dry.
In this case, though, it seems to be the team's fault.
The Browns are asking for an offset clause in Mingo's contract. The offset clause protects the team if Mingo is released before his fully-guaranteed, four-year contract expires. With the clause, the Browns would only owe Mingo what is left on his contract minus what he's earning from a new team if released.
It's a silly request, really.
None of the first-round picks that have signed thus far have offset language. Most of last year's do not have it either. Then again, it's the Browns, and perhaps team president Joe Banner is trying to protect Jimmy Haslam's money from the cloud of gray that seems to hover over the team perpetually.
Isn't it kind of a defeatist attitude to believe in a player so much that you want to recoup some money if you have to release him within the first four years? Shouldn't the Browns be confident Mingo is a starter for the next four years? Otherwise, why draft him?
McCOLLUM IN SUMMER LEAGUE
C.J. McCollum is playing well in the NBA's Summer League. Portland's 10th overall pick scored 27 points and forced overtime in a game against Chicago. It was McCollum's third game of the summer and Portland lost all three.
He scored 13 points in the fourth quarter, his last three coming on a 3-pointer that tied the game with less than 10 seconds left in the fourth.
Page 3 of 3 - McCollum struggled shooting the ball early in the game. He finished 8 of 25 from the field.
"It's my job to knock down shots, and I didn't knock down a lot of shots, but I have all the confidence in the world in me," McCollum said.
He led the Blazers in the scoring in all three of those games.
The Midwest Pelicans, an elite baseball team from Northern Ohio, will hold their first tryout in Stark County on Aug. 11 at Ducky Schoeder Field in Massillon.
Ages 16 through 18 can try out from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Ages 13 to 15 can try out from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.
The Pelicans were the high school world series runners-up. Registration is online at midwestpelicans.com. The $20 fee is refundable if the player does not make the team.
"Our biggest objective is to help kids get to the next level," said Neal French, the team's director. "We have over 50 kids in just three years playing college baseball, and 60 percent of those are at the Division I level. Our guys have received over $3.5 million in scholarship money."
There are 16 players from Stark County on the Pelicans' teams.
"It doesn't matter what your background is," French said. "We have scholarships available. We have kids on (public assistance) to the son of the Indians' owner."

The Music in the Gardens concert series hosted by Ministry Door County Medical Center wraps up its monthlong run with a July 30 performance by blues harmonica master Corky Siegel , folk musician Sue Demel and unique, alternative singer-songwriter Dorothy Scott.
Siegel has earned an international reputation as one of the world's great harmonica blowers. He also is a composer, blues pianist and singer-songwriter, and over the past decade-plus has expanded the genre with his Chamber Blues, which blends his Chicago blues with classical chamber music, accompanied by violins and cellos.
