MAYSVILLE, KY. — A bronze statue of Army Col. Charles Young will be in Mason County in September as part of a campaign to have him promoted posthumously to the rank of brigadier general.
The Ledger Independent reports the statue tour is part of a three-city tour in Kentucky, coordinated by the National Coalition of Black Veterans Organizations in conjunction with Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Kentucky and Tennessee District.
Taft Thompson with Omega Phi is helping to coordinate a series of public events for the tour, which is scheduled for late September. Thompson said Mason County was selected as the first stop on the tour because of the restoration project currently taking place on the Young family log cabin in Mays Lick.
He said the tour is all geared toward getting him (Young) to that star, and raising him to the rank of brigadier general.
Young, who was a member of Omega Psi Phi, was the first African-American to achieve the rank of colonel, and the highest-ranking African-American officer in the United States Army until his death in 1922.
Youngs promotion must be approved by President Obama.

Interpreting a Control Chart
By now, you have a good idea of What a Control Chart is, what it is used for and the types of Control Charts. As a Process Owner, you need to properly interpret the Control Chart because that tells you what actions to take, or not to take. Variation always exists, so your job is to separate variation into its two categories of Common and Special Cause. Then you use your centerlines, control limits, and plots of data to make your interpretation.
A common mistake that inexperienced process owners do is - assigning someone to create lots of Control Charts. While the walls become covered with pretty charts, no one has responsibility to interpret and act on the charts. Acting on just one Control Chart is better than plastering the wall with many charts that go unattended.
Interpreting a Control Chart
Interpreting your control chart is not easy because, your future course of action is going to be based on this interpretation. So, it is imperative that we interpret/understand the control chart in the right way. The following flow chart gives you a decision pathway for taking action on your process.
As you can see - Special Causes require special action, while Common Causes require Lean Six Sigma–type improvement.
Special Causes
Any occurrence or pattern in the data that isn't just random variation is called a Special Cause. Statisticians have created several signals for detecting Special Causes, the most common of which are outliers, shifts, trends, or cycles. Let's look at each one of these in detail.
1. Outliers - An outlier is any data point that is above the UCL or below the LCL. Because the control limits are calculated from probability theory, an outlier is highly unlikely in a process with just Common Cause variation.
2. Shifts - The likelihood of a stable process generating nine points in a row on the same side of the centerline is like tossing a coin and getting heads nine times in a row. It's possible, but highly unlikely. Therefore, a run of nine consecutive points all on the same side of the centerline indicates a shift in the mean. This is a strong indicator that the process has changed and warrants investigation.
3. Trends - A trend is defined as six consecutive points, each higher than the previous point or six consecutive points, each lower than the previous point. This indicates a Special Cause with a gradual effect. Look for a process change that began at approximately the start of the trend.
4. Cycles - Repeating patterns, called cycles, are signaled by 14 consecutive points that alternate up and down. This pattern signals cyclical change in the process that is repetitive and certainly warranting investigation. Possible causes include over-adjustment, shift-to-shift variation, and machine-to-machine variation.
The picture below shows you how you can identify the above special causes from your Control Chart.
These signals (outliers, shifts, trends and cycles) apply to all Control Charts
Common Causes
When no Special Cause signals are present, we deem the process to be in control, not out of control. In other words, the process is stable and not changing and only Common Cause variation is affecting its behavior. The example charts we saw in the previous chapters are examples of control charts that have common cause signals.

WR Hopkins gives Bills 'D' praisePosted by on September 28, 2014 – 11:56 pm
The Bills defense put together a pretty good day in Sunday's loss, giving up only 16 points on the road, logging three takeaways and stuffing Houston's fifth-ranked rushing attack. It was enough to earn praise from Houston WR DeAndre Hopkins.
"Coming into the game we knew that they are a tough defense," Hopkins said. "They don't get the credit that they deserve. They have a lot of great talent there. They do a great job of hustling to the ball. They have a lot of great players on the defense. You can't take too much from their defense. They did a great job of shutting down the run game. Players made plays, this is the NFL. They came out and they had a mission to stop the run and that's what they did."

For Bills' offense 2nd down is keyPosted by on September 28, 2014 – 11:15 am
Through the first three games this season the Texans' defense has been outstanding on third down. Their unit ranks first in the league in third down conversion percentage allowed with opponents moving the sticks just over 27 percent of the time (27.3). Buffalo's offense has ranked just 24th in third down conversion percentage (36.6%), which is why against Houston the Bills should do their best to convert a down earlier.
Converting a first down on second down is obviously a bit tougher if you haven't set up a medium or short distance situation, but against the Texans that may not be a problem.
On first down Houston's defense gives up four yards or more an astounding 61.7 percent of the time, more often than any defense in the league. Opponents are gaining an AVERAGE of 5.9 yards on first down against the Texans.
That leads to a lot of favorable down and distance situations on second down. That's also a big reason why the Texans' defense is last in the league when it comes to allowing conversions on second down. Houston is letting opposing offenses move the sticks on SECOND down 42 percent of the time (41.9%).
The Texans' surrendering of conversions on second down is 15 percent higher than on third down, so Buffalo's offense wants to stay close to Houston's average given up on first down (5.9) to set up a good chance for second down conversions instead of even getting to third down.
And running the ball on second down would be perfectly fine if the Bills are in anything that's 2nd-and-6 or less because Houston is giving up a difficult to believe 6.84 yards on second down, which ranks 30th in the NFL.

Will size matter?Posted by on September 28, 2014 – 10:55 am
The first two games of the season the Bills offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage and it helped lead to a pair of victories. Last week the men up front could not reset the line of scrimmage downfield against San Diego and it played a part in their 12-point loss in Week 3. Today against the Texans the Bills have a decided advantage in size up front when it comes to size, but will it make a difference?
The Texans defensive line (and Jack LB) average 290.75 pounds per man. That's almost 30 pounds a man they're giving up to the Bills offensive line, which averages 329 pounds. That should help Buffalo's desires to establish the ground game with C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson and perhaps Boobie Dixon as well.
Houston is ranked 25th against the run, and they've been working on their run fits all week in an effort to correct some of their problems. They also signed veteran NT Ryan Pickett who goes a hefty 340 pounds himself.

Bills want Fitz to hit magic number of 25Posted by on September 28, 2014 – 10:30 am
Bills fans have seen enough of Ryan Fitzpatrick to know that if too much of the burden to win is put on his shoulders it generally doesn't lead to positive results. That same trend has continued with his new team in Houston.
Last week with the Texans down 14-0 at the half had to throw more to climb back into the game, and though Fitzpatrick had a pretty solid second half, he crossed a dreaded pass attempt threshold that has not been kind to him.
In his 10-year NFL career when Fitzpatrick throws more than 25 pass attempts he is 18-45-1 as a starter. When he throws 25 or less he's 12-6.
When he attempts 30 or more passes his winning percentage drops even further (9-37 record – win pct. 19.5%).
According to SportsOnEarth.com in conjunction with Advanced Football Analytics, the Texans are averaging one interception for every 25 drop backs.
So it would behoove the Bills to really stuff Houston's run game and put more of the game on Fitz's shoulders knowing if he reaches the 25-pass attempt threshold the odds are in Buffalo's favor to not only get an interception along the way, but a victory as well.

Houston has up tempo card to playPosted by on September 28, 2014 – 8:47 am
After last week's inability to mount a comeback in their loss to the Chargers, Bills fans are wondering about Buffalo's formula for winning games. The Texans have much the same approach to winning as the Bills, but last week they too could not come back from a 14-point halftime deficit losing 30-17 to the Giants. However, they did unveil a pretty effective part of their offense that they're likely to make use of again.
The Texans rolled up a team record 328 yards in the second half against the Giants, but they only outscored New York over the final two quarters by a point (17-16) in what became a 13-point loss.
What led to all that yardage was Texans' head coach Bill O'Brien choosing to go to a no-huddle offense. As soon as he did Ryan Fitzpatrick staged a pair of scoring drives on back-to-back possessions. The problem was he didn't turn to it until the fourth quarter.
In the second half, Fitzpatrick played well, going 16-of-21 passing for 250 yards and a touchdown as well as running for a touchdown.
If Buffalo does get ahead of Houston in this one the Texans may pull that card out of their hand a bit sooner Sunday.

Should Bills blitz Fitz?Posted by on September 27, 2014 – 5:40 pm
Ryan Fitzpatrick is a quarterback who has always gotten the ball out quick, which is why he is a very difficult quarterback to sack even when under heavy pressure or facing a blitz. Buffalo has already faced two such quarterbacks in Jay Cutler and Philip Rivers, who deliver the ball quickly negating any aggressive attempt to take the QB down. So the question is do the Bills blitz Fitzpatrick?
Fitzpatrick has only been sacked twice in three games so far this season, which is a typical low number for the former Bills QB. However, blitzing Fitzpatrick has been effective in negatively affecting his passing game.
Fitzpatrick and the Texans rank 25th in the league in blitz passing situations. When facing the blitz Fitzpatrick's passer rating drops from 91.8 to 68.9.
So while sacks may not be the end result when it comes to blitzing Fitzpatrick, there is evidence that blitzing to force hurried throws can be an effective approach against Fitz too. The key as Kyle Williams sees it is putting the Texans in longer down and distance on third down.
"He knows for the most part what the defense is trying to do and he can get rid of the ball," said Williams of Fitzpatrick. "We've already seen that in two of our games this year with Chicago and San Diego. Veteran quarterbacks that know where they're going with the ball and they get rid of it quickly. We have to win on first and second down and keep them behind the chains and make him hold the ball a little longer."

Do similar offensive approaches mean much?Posted by on September 27, 2014 – 10:23 am
With a pair of head coaches for Sunday's game between the Bills and Texans, whose offensive philosophies mirror each other in many ways, one might wonder if Doug Marrone and Bill O'Brien are filling in their defensive coordinators on how to prepare for the Houston and Buffalo offense.
Buffalobills.com asked coach Marrone that very question in our weekly 'Coffee with the Coach' segment presented by Tim Horton's. As Marrone sees it the similarities won't have either defense any more prepared than usual.
"No, I think obviously you see it on film," said Marrone. "I think our philosophies are similar, but around the league a lot of those philosophies exist. We're trying to establish the run first, picking the matchups and deciding what we want to do. You do that week to week. We're excited about it and it'll be a great challenge. We know that they have a very good staff and they have good players and we feel the same way about our team. It'll be a good game for us."

Texans' 'D' wary of Bills team speedPosted by on September 26, 2014 – 9:37 am
Houston safety D.J. Swearinger said it earlier in the week and no one in the Texans' locker room or on their coaching staff is denying Swearinger's statement that the Bills have the fastest collection of skill players on offense in the league.
Texans' defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel felt his safety's statement about Buffalo's skill position speed was pretty accurate.
"Well, speed is always dangerous," Crennel said. "They've got a lot guys that run fast and play fast. When you are not able to match the speed, then you have to make sure you're in position, use your leverage and use the proper techniques so that you can make a play. And then generally if you can keep it from being a one-on-one game with speed and then use more than one guy to help contain the speed, then you give yourself a chance."
"They're fast. They're fast across the board," said Houston head coach Bill O'Brien. "Obviously (Sammy) Watkins is fast. C.J. (Spiller) is fast. Fred Jackson is fast. (Robert) Woods is fast. I would agree with D.J. there. I haven't seen all the teams yet. Maybe he has. He might know better than me. They're one of the faster teams that's for sure. I don't think there is any slow teams in this league though."
"You have to be pretty aware of it because they have players," said Texans' OLB Whitney Mercilus. "C.J. Spiller, also you've got Sammy Watkins, so the thing is you've got to be very attentive to some of those guys and all that."

Texans RB Foster to be game time decisionPosted by on September 25, 2014 – 4:42 pm
Texans RB Arian Foster has been practicing this week on a limited basis after missing last week's game with a hamstring injury. Houston head coach Bill O'Brien said that his feature back will be a game time decision along with the team's punter Shane Lechler.
"I would say so," O'Brien says when asked if Arian Foster and Shane Lechler will be game-time decisions. #Texans

Mario not worried about Houston receptionPosted by on September 24, 2014 – 4:47 pm
He played the first half of his career in Houston and was the Texans number one pick in 2005. Mario Williams is now returning to Houston for the second time as a Bills player. His first was in 2012. But if you ask him how he thinks he'll be received by the Texans' fans it's not something he's concerned about.
"I don't know. I don't really care," said Williams. "I don't understand why that's even a topic of discussion. I'm playing football man. At the end of the day the guy on the other side of the ball on Sunday is what I'm worried about. I'm not worried about it. No."
In his first meeting against the Texans, Williams had seven tackles including a sack.

Gailey defends pass gamePosted by on November 5, 2012 – 2:02 pm
Bills head coach Chan Gailey has been asked a lot about the perceived lack of a deep passing game in Buffalo's offense. In his weekly appearance on Bills flagship WGR Sportsradio 550 Gailey defended their approach in the passing game.
Gailey was asked if his play calling choices are hampered to the point where he's calling a game different because they can't throw downfield.
"No, not at all," said Gailey. "Do you know how often Houston threw the ball down the field yesterday? Two times. The same as us. The key is consistency and completing and putting the ball in the end zone when you get down there. That's the key to the whole thing. It's not how many times you throw the ball down the field. It's whether or not you're completing the balls you're throwing and then can you run after catch sometimes and make plays that way. Very few people throw it down the field bombs away like Daryle Lamonica. The just doesn't happen anymore."
The Bills currently rank 27th in yards per pass play (10.6).

Can't knock the run 'D' in this onePosted by on November 5, 2012 – 9:08 am
Arian Foster got off to a solid start against the Bills with 62 yards on his first seven carries, but he only had one big carry for 21 yards. What's more come the second half Buffalo's run defense clamped down on him forcing the Texans to beat them in other ways.
In the third quarter Buffalo's defense held Foster to 16 yards on eight carries, and through the Texans final touchdown drive he actually lost yardage to total just 15 yards on 11 second half carries to that point.
"I definitely think we made some progress as far as that goes on our run defense and other aspects of the game, but we've still got a long way to go," said Nick Barnett. "We've got to get up field and cause some turnovers and make a play on the long ball. We didn't. We let a couple of little sneak boots come out of there on throwbacks and we have to be more technique-sound on that."
Foster finished with 111 yards on 24 carries, but got a lot of garbage yards at the end when Houston was trying to kill clock and shorten the game. For more on Buffalo's improved run defense check out John Murphy's Bills Focus package in the Media Center on Buffalobills.com.

Ironically, it came in a stadium where he had played home games for the previous six seasons. Nonetheless Williams was far more active than he had been in any other game this season registering a team leading seven tackles including a pair for loss, a sack and a quarterback hit.

Texans DE critical of Bills red zone offensePosted by on November 4, 2012 – 10:32 pm
The Bills went 0-for-3 in the red zone Sunday in the loss to Houston. Texans DL Antonio Smith apparently has an opinion on defending Buffalo's offense in the red zone.
"The spread offense, in my opinion, is not that good in the red zone," said Smith. "It is short things and if you play the run well, then there are not many plays they can run."
Truthfully the opinion is a bit misguided since the Bills were a top 10 red zone offense coming into the game in terms of touchdown percentage.

George on meeting President BushPosted by on November 4, 2012 – 9:07 pm
Right before the game the country's 41st President was carted out to midfield for the coin toss. George Bush (1988-1992) was suddenly at midfield flipping the coin. For Bills co-captain George Wilson it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"It was incredible," said Wilson. "I didn't expect it. To say you've met a President is a lifetime memory and a lifetime experience. He was looking at me and smiling at me, and I was smiling back. I got to shake his hand twice. I'll carry it with me for a long time."
Wilson made sure to shake his hand and say hello before he was escorted back to his golf cart.
"I said hello, Mr. President, good to see you today," said Wilson. "That's a lifetime memory for me."
Sounds like the Senator handled himself well.

Much of Bills game plan left on shelfPosted by on November 4, 2012 – 9:06 pm
The Bills had what they felt was an effective game plan for Houston, but it was the Texans' own plan defensively that eliminated any opportunity for Buffalo's offense to use much of what they wanted to run.
"We had a lot of stuff that we didn't get to because of how they were playing us," said Ryan Fitzpatrick. "That's just the way it is with our team and the things that we do. When teams play against us that's the biggest thing teams try to do is stop the run, stop C.J., stop Fred and make you beat them with the pass. That's what the Texans came into the game saying and that's what they did."
The chief problem was Houston's use of a regular front seven against Buffalo's three wide set. The kept their third LB in instead of subbing him out for a nickel corner and dared the Bills to beat them with the pass. Buffalo didn't execute often enough.
"It's something we need to evaluate and figure out and have a good plan for and we've got to be able to take advantage with our guys on the outside as well," said Fitzpatrick.

Why Run 'D' turnaround must begin todayPosted by on November 4, 2012 – 9:30 am
The Bills run defense has without question been a disappointment through the first seven games this season. The players say they have discovered a new found accountability to one another and intend to carry that over to today's game against Houston. But if Buffalo wants to stay in a very muddled AFC race their run defense will have to be the most improved part of their performance. Here's why.
Over the next two games (counting today) they'll face two opponents that rush more than any other club in the NFL. Houston and New England have more rushing attempts per game this season than anyone else. The Texans average a league-leading 35.4 rushes per game. New England is second with 34.5.
Not surprisingly, both clubs stand first and second in rushing touchdown as well (New England 12, Houston 11).
What's ironic is Buffalo averages more rushing yards per game (150.3) than both teams (New England 149.6, Houston 140.9). So if the Bills can tighten up their run defense to just a respectable level it figures to significantly impact their fortunes. And as defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt has said, it starts with the front four.

Chris Kelsay laid it all out in a riveting bye week commentary in which he said not every defensive player was giving their all on every play in the Tennessee game in Week 7. He promised that players would be shaken down if they were not pulling their weight. Head coach Chan Gailey saw a different team in practice this week as a result.
"I think that they understand accountability to each other better at this point than maybe they ever have," he said. "We made that point of emphasis. I think they understand that better. Hopefully that does carry over to the games."
We'll find out on Sunday.

Texans to give kick return opportunities?Posted by on November 3, 2012 – 10:51 am
The Bills lead the league in kick return average (30.8) and face a Texans team that is in the bottom third of the league in kick coverage in Houston (23rd). Part of the problem has been their kicker Shayne Graham, who is struggling to get his kickoffs deep.
Through the Texans' first seven games, Graham and the Texans are last in the league in touchback percentage (25.6%) which is almost half the league average (50%). Part of the reason the percentage is so low is because they have the second fewest touchbacks in the league (11) and the fourth-most kickoffs (45).
"I don't think you can all of a sudden say if he's kicking it two yards deep say it's got to be out of the end zone," said Houston head coach Gary Kubiak. "You can do what you can do. He does directional kick pretty good. The thing we've noticed he kicks off pretty well early in games and as the game goes on, they're not as good. So we tried to focus on that trying to keep him focused on some things we think can help him.
"We're going to have to be smart some of the things we do kicking the ball, too. If you know you can't kick it out of the endzone then you better know where you're kicking it and how you're going to cover, so we've got our hands full there. Hopefully we can start to improve that this week."
Bills head coach Chan Gailey is hopeful Houston's struggles lead to opportunities for Leodis McKelvin and Brad Smith.
"I am seeing opportunities," said Gailey. "I don't want too many kickoff returns. You don't want to go out there and have a chance for five or six, but the two or three they may kick you hope we get good returns on them to get good field position or points on them which happened in our last game."
Brad Smith returned a kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown in Buffalo's last game in Week 7 against the Titans. Houston is last in the league in average drive start allowed giving opponents an average start of their own 26-yard line. Conversely, they're last in their own average drive start, with a mark of their own 18.5-yard line.

Behind the Scenes
I often get asked, "Dr. Phil, how do you decide what topics to do on the show, and how does it all come together?" "Do you ever get nervous being in front of millions of people every day?" "Is being so straightforward and confrontational something you learned to do, or is that just your personality?"
Let me answer those questions in reverse order. And here's something that might surprise you: Despite the fact that my job, at least in my opinion, sometimes requires confronting people about their dysfunctions, my personality is, deep down, very non-confrontational. I grew up in a pretty volatile home situation, and I became discord-averse at a very young age. In fact, I hated arguing and confrontation so much that I actually used to come and go from the house through my bedroom window to keep from walking through the war zone! (more…)

Went Outside to Film the Snow… You Won't Believe What We Caught on Video!
Earlier today, it looked like Flint had the makings of a full-on, Mid-April blizzard. We went outside to grab a quick video of the hellish snowfall and caught something unbelievable on video!
It started as a simple snow video behind the station and turned into something else entirely. I heard an unusual noise (sorry about the low audio, my phone kind of sucks) and there's really no way to explain what we saw next, you'll just have to see it in the video below.

|Duodenal injuries in the very young: child abuse?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23271088 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Duodenal injuries in children are uncommon but have been specifically linked with child abuse in case reports. Owing to the rarity of the diagnosis, few studies to date have looked at the association between duodenal injuries and mechanism in younger child. We hypothesize that duodenal injuries in the very young are significantly associated with child abuse.
METHODS: This investigation is a retrospective cohort study of patients admitted with duodenal injuries at one of six Level I pediatric trauma centers. All institutions had institutional review board approval. The trauma registries were used to identify children aged 0 year to 5 years from 1991 to 2011. Multiple variables were collected and included age, mechanism of injury, type of duodenal injury, additional injuries, mortality, and results of abuse investigation if available. Relationships were analyzed using Fischer's exact test.
RESULTS: We identified 32 patients with duodenal injuries with a mean age of 3 years. Duodenal injuries included duodenal hematomas (44%) and perforations/transections (56%). Of all duodenal injuries, 53% resulted in operation, 53% had additional injuries, and 12.5% resulted in death. Of the 32 children presenting with duodenal injuries, 20 were child abuse patients (62.5%). All duodenal injuries in children younger than 2 years were caused by child abuse (6 of 6, p = 0.06) and more than half of the duodenal injuries in children older than 2 years were caused by child abuse (14 of 26). Child abuse-related duodenal injuries were associated with delayed presentation (p = 0.004). There was a significant increase in child abuse-related duodenal injuries during the time frame of the study (p = 0.002).
CONCLUSION: Duodenal injuries are extremely rare in the pediatric population. This multi-institutional investigation found that child abuse consistently associated with duodenal injuries in children younger than 2 years. The evidence supports a child abuse investigation on children younger than 2 years with duodenal injury.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Epidemiological study, level III.

Alfredsson defers $200,000 to make room for trade.
According to the Ottawa Sun:
Sources yesterday confirmed Alfredsson has agreed to defer $200,000 of his salary to clear money in the budget if the club wants to add a player before next Tuesday's NHL trade deadline. While Alfredsson couldn't be reached for comment last night and his agent J.P. Barry of IMG Hockey wouldn't confirm the decision, it's believed Alfredsson will up his base salary to $5.15 million (all terms US) next year, which means the money is guaranteed.
With the Senators in bankruptcy protection and the club up for sale, Alfredsson's decision allows the club to free up money without having to subtract anything from the current roster.
"I'd really rather not comment on it," said Barry from his Calgary office. "All I can say is that Daniel Alfredsson wants to win a Stanley Cup in Ottawa and he'll do whatever it takes for that team to be successful."
A decision like Alfredsson's isn't unprecedented.
Detroit captain Steve Yzerman, defenceman Chris Chelios and winger Brendan Shanahan agreed to defer salary in the summer of 2001 so the Wings could sign free agent Brett Hull.
Of course, Hull played a big role in helping the Wings win the Cup last year.
And who says that Alfredsson is not a great captain, it seems he's intent on winning and is willing to make the sacrifices in order to do it.
Alfie has also stated that he is willing to waive his UFA status in order sign a long term deal with the Sens. I guess there are still players that care for more than just money.

When Roger Federer beat Britain's Andy Murray on Sunday, you can bet there was some enthusiastic applause in the offices of Oxfam International.
The charity, which works to alleviate poverty all around the world, was the beneficiary of a $2,000 bet placed almost 10 years ago – and today worth more than $155,000. Back then, tennis-enthusiast Nick Newlife made a wager that Federer – then 21-year-old and winner of his first Wimbledon – would eventually go on to win six more before the year 2019.
Unfortunately, Newlife passed away in 2009 – but not before willing that his entire estate, including the betting slip – be donated to Oxfam.
"All of Oxfam have been cheering Federer's progress for the past couple of weeks," said Oxfam's Andrew Barton to the AFP. "The real hero, though, must be Mr Newlife, for his generous gift and his tremendous sporting acumen."
A previous bet by Newlife, that Federer would win 14 grand slam titles by 2020 (he currently has 16), netted the charity nearly $26,000 in 2010.
According to Oxfam, this latest infusion of cash is enough to provide a month's worth of food for 10,000 people hit by the food crisis in west Africa.

Standing just yards from the spot where 13-year-old Andy Lopez was killed, Jeremiah Wood on Sunday raised a soapy plastic tube to his lips and blew a long string of bubbles.
"I'm making mine like a choo-choo train," said Wood, 5, a kindergartner at Binkley Elementary School in Rincon Valley. "This is a cool bubble machine."
The youngster was among about 100 people attending an outdoor potluck marking the two-month anniversary of Lopez's death.
They gathered in the field adjacent to the Moorland Avenue sidewalk where Lopez was walking when he was fatally shot Oct. 22 by Sonoma County Sheriff's Deputy Erick Gelhaus.
Gelhaus told police he mistook a BB gun Lopez was carrying for an AK-47 assault rifle and fired he saw Lopez — his back to the deputy — begin to turn toward him, the barrel of the BB gun rising.
Critics have questioned the deputy's reaction, saying he acted hastily in his use of deadly force.
In numerous protest marches and demonstrations, they have called on District Attorney Jill Ravitch to bring criminal charges against Gelhaus at the completion of a police investigation.
Meanwhile, a shrine of pictures, candles and other memorabilia has grown in the field near where Lopez fell. Efforts are ongoing to buy the land to make a public park.
Protesters on Sunday took a break from the frequent rallies and meetings to share a meal together and get to know each other.
They laid out platters of sandwiches, pastries and traditional Mexican foods such as posole on tables under a large awning.

The 101 number one song of the day took only three weeks to get to the top where it stayed for over 7 weeks which was the longest duration for a Motown song to date. Plus, the same song had gotten to number two just a fairly short time before.
In fact, a number of insiders were surprised that it was released as a single so soon after Gladys Knight and the Pips took it to the penultimate chart position the previous December. Interestingly enough, today's featured artist had recorded his version before Gladys Knight but before that it was recorded by Smokey Robinson. In fact the song was covered by lots of others as well including the Isley Bros., Elton John, Ike and Tina Turner and Creedence Clearwater Revival to name just a few. But the version that rose all the way to number one on December 14, 1968 belonged to Marvin Gaye – "I Heard It Through the Grapevine."

Melbourne locations listed in secret list of potential terror targets
- From: Herald Sun
- December 07, 2010
TWO Melbourne locations have been identified in a previously top-secret list of potential targets for terrorist.
An inventory of global sites secretly declared by the US intelligence agencies as vital to their national security is among yet another round of diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks.
In what are claimed to be potentially the most damaging leaks yet, the organisation has published the list of every site regarded by the US as a security risk.
It lists a Melbourne drug company facility, Mayne Pharma, which is the sole supplier of a snake antivenene to the US.
The antivenene is vital for treating bites from rattlesnakes to copperhead snakes in America.
Also mentioned in the secret hit list is pharmaceutical company Faulding, based in Mulgrave, which manufactures Midazolam, a fast-acting drug used to induce sedation and amnesia before major surgery and in intensive care.
It also lists the Southern Cross undersea cable landing in Sydney as a strategic piece of infrastructure critical to US national security.
The list also outlines Australian mines as vital targets, including nickel mines mainly in Western Australia and Ferro, an American company with its Australian headquarters in Moorabbin.
The cable, which names the 2008 "critical inventories list" by the US Department of Homeland Security, also lists an Australian manufacturer of a heavy sedative drug among sites outside US borders, which if attacked could threaten US security and health.
The cable, a request from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2009, asks for updated information on "critical foreign dependencies" from all embassies.
"The National Infrastructure Protection Plan requires compilation and annual update of a comprehensive inventory of (important sites) that are located outside US borders and whose loss could critically impact the public health, economic security and/or national and homeland security of the United States," the cable reads.
"The overarching goal of the (program) is to build a safer, more secure, and more resilient America by enhancing protection of the nation's (important sites) to prevent, deter, neutralise or mitigate the effects of deliberate efforts by terrorists to destroy, incapacitate or exploit them; and to strengthen national preparedness, timely response, and rapid recovery in the event of an attack."
Last night Attorney-General Robert McLelland said the publication of the sites was "reckless" and had implications for national security.

Notable Students
Tyrus, the 2014 Kentucky PGA Teacher of the Year, has a featured weekly golf instruction blog on GolfChannl.com. He focuses and highlights the weeks winner on the PGA Tour. A PGA professional, Tyrus has done significant work in junior golf programs, but he has also worked with adult players of all ability levels. He began teaching golf in 2005 following the completion of his collegiate golf career at Cumberland College in Williamsburg, Kentucky. Tyrus has been teaching at the Larry Ward High Performance Golf Academy in Lexington since 2011, after working as an Assistant Golf Professional at Kentucky's Man O' War Golf Learning Center for six years.
Tyrus has set teaching goals of being able to build trust with his students while determining the method of teaching most compatible with each of his student's learning styles.
My goal as a golf instructor is to teach players of all skill levels how to play the game of golf to the best of their abilities. I believe that it is important for my students to know how much I care for them before they know how much I know about the golf swing. I do not believe in a single method for teaching a golf swing. It is my job to determine the method and learning style of each individual student to help them achieve their goals for the game of golf. I believe that my role as a teacher is not only to teach the golf swing, but to also build trust and motivate my students to try their best. I am a firm believer that all parts of the game are equally important in order for a student to achieve their goals.
"Tyrus, I can't think you enough for the help that you gave me. After trying out what you told me to work on, I went out and won the first tournament that I played just 2 days after going to the range and practicing on what you gave me to work on. Thanks Tyrus and thanks swingfix!! "
"Tyrus York has helped me take my dream of playing golf to a reality. His lessons always leave me with renewed confidence and an even greater love of the game!"

Find Me Again is a good old-fashioned mystery and a historical novel rolled into one.(Canadian Book Review Annual)
...Warsh writes sensitively about the persecution of the Jews, and she shows convincingly how the actions of the past are not discrete-they have monumental effects on the present and future... In tying the threads of the mystery together, in the conclusion Warsh gives her characters and her readers hope that the positive side of human beings will prevail.(The Edmonton Journal)
Winner of the 2004 Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Paperback Original, short-listed for the 2004 Anthony Award for Best Paperback Original and for Best Historical Mystery
Still coming to terms with the death of her husband, Dr. Rebecca Temple tries to continue her practice and carry on with life as usual. She meets a charming Polish count who has written a historical novel based on his own family. During a visit to his home, she discovers a murder and soon realizes that the count's manuscript may contain clues to the killer's identity.
Frustrated by the inaction of a skeptical police department, she scours the manuscript for answers. As she reads, she journeys back to Enlightenment Europe and uncovers the true story of a love affair between the girl who would become Catharine the Great, and the young man who would become the last king of Poland.
In this eagerly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed To Die in Spring, Sylvia Maultash Warsh engages readers in an enthralling mystery that spans three centuries.
Sylvia Maultash Warsh was born in Germany to parents who survived the Holocaust. She grew up in Toronto, where she earned an MA in Linguistics and now teaches writing to seniors. Her novel To Die in Spring was shortlisted for the 2000 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel.

Cottonwood assistant placed on leave after felony assault charge
The teacher and assistant football coach at Cottonwood High School charged with aggravated assault has been placed on administrative leave, the Granite School District announced Tuesday.
Eric C. Eyre, 30, was charged last week in connection with a March 24 incident, when he allegedly punched a man 10 times in the head.
According to a district statement, administrators were not aware of the charge until receiving an inquiry from The Tribune late Monday afternoon. Eyre officially notified the district of the charge Tuesday morning.
Eyre is in his first year as a physical education and biology teacher at Cottonwood, and joined the football staff partway through last season. He previously was the head coach for two seasons at Ogden High School through 2009. In 2009 he was suspended for two games after a confrontation with the school's band director.
Cottonwood is now operating with two of its physical education teachers and football coaches on administrative leave. Head coach Josh Lyman, 32, was placed on leave last week after allegations that he had "inappropriate contact" with an underage female student arose.

The question arises in some form or another almost every time I teach a course on the Bible: If God knew what a mess humanity would make of God's creation, why did God create the world as we know it? The question has force for us, as it projects our own experience onto the cosmic screen.
Luke 1:39-45 (46-55)
The greatest Christmas carol in history was not written by Irving Berlin or Nat King Cole. The greatest carol is not "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" or "White Christmas" or even "Silent Night." The greatest carol was composed 2,000 years ago by a pregnant teenage girl who was visiting her cousin Elizabeth.
Jeremiah 31:7-14; John 1:(1-9), 10-18
Whether we choose to believe it or not, we human beings are embodied creatures. There have been many times throughout the history of philosophy and religion when great thinkers have tried to minimize or deny the physicality of human existence. Simple phrases such as "mind over matter" and biblical passages such as 1 Corinthians 9:27, "but I punish my body and enslave it," have contributed to the misleading belief that we are at our best as human beings when some spiritual core that is separate from our physical nature governs our lives.
Luke 2:22-40
Luke 1 and 2 are often described as "the Lukan infancy and childhood narratives"—the stories of Jesus' birth and early childhood. That description is fine, but as Eugene Peterson has suggested, there is another way of framing the opening of Luke: these two chapters are a primer in prayer. Prayers saturate the first two chapters of Luke.

A light peeks through the crack of my eyelid. Was this it? The light? Finally, I open my eyes, to find life. A lady is standing over me, scanning my eye. She smiles at the sight of my dilated pupils.
Everything seemed wider, brighter. "It works," She says, showing her French accent. She puts a shriveled hand on my head and strokes my hair.
A holler bounces off the walls. It deep and toned. It was Jean's.
I sprang up and struggled to break free. "Jean!" I call out. The doctor was pushing my down while I tried for my get away.
"HALLE!" Jean calls back. I smile as he recognizes me. The doctor presses me firmly unto the bed, and comes into sight a gas mask.
"Where are you keeping him!" I spat. She doesn't answer. I pulled when she gripped. Faster than I knew it, I was bolting down the hallway calling out Jean.
In the distance, there he was. His interesting grey eyes stood out as he ran for me. We linked hands and ran for the exit.
Almost there, I was struck with pain. My leg. Although I could barely move it, I continued. Jean realized my change in walk, and turned to me. " Are you okay?"
"Fine," I lied.
"You're lying," Jean remarked.
I shoved the exit open and ran, running from Jean, limp and all. Jean hacked into a car by the exit and started the engine. I pushed my mass into the passenger seat.
Jean revved the engine and zoomed of the lot without a second to lose. "We'll be on the road awhile, most of Quad 7 moved to the forest region." This was relieving to me.
I sank back into the seat, never wanting to see the world. I closed my eyes while Jean rubbed my leg.
I wake to kissing. They're soft and gentle, like Jean's. Once I get a look at the face, I see the interesting grey eyes I found to love.
He smirks," Finally, awake." I smile. His smirk was a happy sight.
Finally, I notice the scenery. We're at the riverbank to my favorite river. I named it Swanlike River, because of it tends to attract a lot of swans.
"Wow, it really is beautiful," Jean, whispered. He grabbed my hand.
"Halle, Jean, dinner!" Called a soft, yet firm voice. Was it my mother? No it couldn't be.
I turned around to see our house, a lilac selection, very sweet. I ran for the back door. When I entered, I saw our usual. Gray and Yellow scheme.
Even though I was enjoying this, I was still very much confused. What was this?
"Hey honey," Mom came over and scuffed my hair. She loved doing that, no matter the age.
"So, how's college going?" Dad asked from the sink. College? What? College was awhile away.
Jean handed me some orange juice from the fridge. I kindly accepted and sipped." What?" I said after finishing my OJ.
Dad laughed nervously," Honey, the one you've been at for three years." I was 20. What?
This didn't seem right, something was wrong. Seriously wrong.
" She just a little out of it, probably still thinking about our engagement," Jean commented. I flipped my head to Jean, this wasn't him. The Jean I knew was observant and protective, a-a-and was slightly awkward.
Jean reached for my waist. I pushed him away," Who are you?!" My family looked at me strange.
" Are you okay?" Jean titled his head strangely.
"NO!" I screamed." Where are we, what is this, STOP PRETENDING!" Wait a second- Dad loved to scuff my hair, Mom hated getting it ruined. And we didn't drink orange juice; it had too much citric acid. The creek I named wasn't in our backyard; it was behind Quincy's house.
What was this?! Jean tried to console me, but I just pushed him. I ran upstairs, in hope of locking myself there.
I successfully kicked my door open. Unfortunately, Jean (or Jean2, I'll call him J2) was following close behind.
I landed on my bed to see J2 plop right next to me. " Who are you?" I whispered, for the final time. I was beginning to remember the gun stored at my thigh.
" Your fiancé," J2 said, pretending to look hurt. That's it. I jumped on him and pinned him down with my elbow. With the other arm, I pulled out my gun and stuck it up to his head.
" Who the fuck are you!" I hollered. J2 flipped me over, reverse mode, his knife placed on my cheek.
" You fucking bitch," He laughed." I knew you would do this." I struggled to break free. " Here, just to make it suspenseful, I'll tell you where you are!"
" You're in a fucking mental institute, they need you to relax. We've been studying you for weeks, I told them you were to smart. Now, they look like fools, bitch put a gun to my head."
" You're lying," I say uneasily.
" Really? Okay then, walk through that wall."
I came close to it and put my hand on it, as a result, my hand went through. I gasped.
" Bitch," He said under his breath.
I turned to him, aiming my gun to his head." Call me bitch one more time and I will fucking shoot you!" He laughed.
Suddenly, he got me in an arm lock and pinned me to the bed. I grasped for air. He put his knife on my stomach, and in one sharp cut, blood spilled everywhere. He pressed on my wound, it hurt like hell.
Suddenly, something grabbed ahold of me. Power? The desks on each side of bed drag themselves right towards J2. He smashes into the wall.
I sprang of the bed and bang unto the wall. " Get me out!" I scream. I hear a chuckle behind me.
"It will never work," J2 smirked. My breathing became heavy and tears began to stream down my face. I fumed, forcing my face to turn a deep red.
" Fuck you," I whispered, blurred by my tears. I banged my head on the wall and let tears fall.
" You think I care about you?" He made a revolting face as he edged in closer. "You think I-?"
Bang. Fuck him. My hand trembled grasping the gun. I had used the only bullet. J2 lay lifeless on the floor, a single bullet to the heart, drenched in a pool of blood. His eyes wide open in shock, a hand on his heart.

Romanian developer Andrei Neculaesei discovered that some apps do not properly account for tel: URIs -- which pass a telephone number to the handset's dialer much like a mailto: URI would open the Mail app -- in embedded web views. Because Apple allows app developers to bypass confirmation prompts when calling the dialer from within their apps, a specially-crafted web page could cause users to initiate telephone or FaceTime calls against their will.
Tapping a malicious link from within the official Gmail app could, for example, force users to call an expensive toll number. Other popular apps affected by the oversight include Facebook Messenger and Google+.
While the issue does not represent a flaw on Apple's part, it seems likely that the company will implement changes to save developers from themselves, perhaps by altering the default behavior of such links to draw a confirmation prompt as they do when tapped in mobile Safari.
Though it is a relatively low-grade problem, it does serve to remind users that they should exercise caution when opening messages or tapping links from people that they do not know. Malware authors depend almost entirely upon consumers' lack of such basic precautions.

I have a metallic fabric, with slight stretch; it has a lovely drape to it. I am going to make a side draped dress. I am wondering if it would be smart to underline the bodice and short sleeves, to stabilize it a bit? The skirt I would just line. Any thoughts for me?
You could tame the stretch and get some control while maintaing the hand with a soft fusible product. I usually fuse it to an area before cutting out the pattern piece.
------sewing brings joy and meaning to my life...
If the stretch is "slight, I would enjoy the compfort, but if you feel that it will "grow " when you sew it then yes, underline.
Thanks for the input. I am ruling out interfacing, because the fabric has a crinkle texture to it; I don't want to mess it up! I will try interlining, and hope this one won't end up in the UFO pile....

Wausau fire fighters work to extinguish a fire. Wausau city leaders are considering combining some fire and EMS services with its surrounding municipalities.
The village of Rothschild has hired a full-time fire chief, partly as a result of a consultant's recent study.
Marc Hill, 34, a former part-time firefighter in the town of Rib Mountain, is now Rothschild Fire Department's first and only full-time employee.
"It (my hiring) partly had to do with the study and partly had to do with implementing changes to see the department grow," Hill said. ...

Sensient would oppose any director candidates of FrontFour
Sensient Technologies has received a letter from FrontFour Master Fund expressing its intention to nominate four individuals to Sensient's board at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Sensient has not announced the date of the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In the event FrontFour were to file a proxy statement in support of its proposed slate of directors, the board of Sensient would strongly oppose FrontFour's four director candidates. FrontFour is plainly seeking to exploit Sensient's strong financial position and industry-leading businesses for short-term gains that are not in the long-term interests of Sensient's shareholders and other stakeholders. FrontFour's stated plans would be disruptive and would imperil the continued successful implementation of Sensient's strategy. Furthermore, FrontFour's opinion that the company's capital structure is sub-optimal is incorrect, as it completely ignores the clear benefits of Sensient's very strong balance sheet and credit profile. Sensient is an extremely strong company with a very healthy balance sheet. As a result, it is an attractive target for short-term investors looking to "extract" value through an "event" without any consideration for the long-term financial strength of Sensient. FrontFour's letter suggests several possible "events" that would be in its own self-interest, but plainly not in the best interests of Sensient's long-term shareholders, customers, employees and other stakeholders. An unduly large stock buyback or the sale of one or more business units at this time would create uncertainty and a lack of financial flexibility as Sensient continues to invest in its businesses. Any such event would create an enormous obstacle to the continued implementation of the company's strategy. Additionally, based upon a preliminary analysis, FrontFour's nominees for Sensient's board appear to be career activists with very close relationships to FrontFour, spotty track records on creating shareholder value, questionable motives and little to no experience in the very Flavors and Fragrances business they are allegedly aiming to "fix." Furthermore, their attributes, skills and experience pale in comparison to those of Sensient's current board and potential future directors that have been and will continue to be vetted by Sensient's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Significantly, FrontFour has never approached Sensient with any concerns about our results, financial condition, strategy or any other business issue. Instead, FrontFour has chosen to spring its alleged concerns on Sensient in an abrupt manner calculated to cause disruption and to promote FrontFour's self-interested agenda.

Workers race to complete construction at the new MainLine restaurant Thursday in Old Town Fort Collins. / Trevor Hughes/The Coloradoan
Fort Collins� newest restaurant and beer bar is preparing to open, offering 32 taps of local favorites, national standards and offerings from up-and-coming brewers while bringing new dining options to Old Town.
MainLine aims to open for business sometime in the next week or so at 125 S. College Ave., executive chef Eric Chiappetta said.
�We want to do this right,� Chiappetta said. �We know the eyes of the community are on us, that there�s a lot of excitement out there.�
MainLine takes the place of the Beachhouse Grill and is a partnership between Breckenridge Brewery and Wynkoop Brewing Co. The new restaurant has two floors, two private dining areas and one of the city�s few rooftop patios. Chiappetta on Thursday gave the Coloradoan an early look at the space, which is still a madhouse of construction.
He said contractors essentially gutted the space, flipped the bar to the south side of the main-floor dining room, renovated the kitchen and added a second kitchen on the second floor. The restaurant�s sign is up and uncovered on College Avenue, and prospective customers on Thursday stopped often to ask when opening day was.
MainLine�s second floor, known as the Treehouse, is decorated with twisted and bent pipes recovered from the renovations, evoking tree branches and limbs. A photo mural in the back, �Temperance Lounge,� shows the burned-out Old Main building on the Colorado State University campus.
Contractors also added large windows that fold out of the way, opening onto the patio. MainLine will be able to seat 425 people between the two bars, the downstairs and upstairs dining rooms, and the patio. The restaurant will not brew any beer on premises, and it will serve classic American food with a southern flair, Chiappetta said, from shrimp and grits to chicken and waffles.
�More than anything, we want to be a partner and a peer for Fort Collins,� Chiappetta said.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) -- Carl Edwards has won the NASCAR Nationwide race at Watkins Glen International.
Edwards, making his first series start of the season, beat Brad Keselowski on a two-lap dash to the checkered flag for his 38th career victory, breaking a tie with Kevin Harvick for third all-time.
Pole-sitter Sam Hornish Jr. finished third, followed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Ron Fellows.
Kyle Busch, who started from the back of the field because his team made changes to his No. 54 Toyota, managed to finish sixth despite shifter and throttle problems.
Danica Patrick, making her first series start at Watkins Glen, was taken out on the first turn of the race by Ryan Truex, and finished last.
Points leader Elliott Sadler was 12th.

Longest game by innings
Written by | Chris Nixon | 1:05 a.m., Apr 18, 2008
This morning's game at Petco against the Rockies is now officially the longest game by innings in franchise history. Next stop, the longest game by time. The current holder of the record is a game against Houston from Aug. 15, 1980, logging in at 6 hours and 17 minutes. At the start of the 22nd inning, the game has stretched past six hours in length.
