PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The Justice Department says U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has decided against seeking the death penalty for two people accused in a 2011 Northwest crime spree that left four dead.
The U.S. attorney's office filed notice Friday in federal court and issued a statement, neither explaining the decision. U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall said the process leading to it was confidential.
The accused are 32-year-old David "Joey" Pedersen and 28-year-old Holly Ann Grigsby. They face trial in July on federal kidnapping, carjacking and murder charges.
They are accused of killing two men, one on the Oregon coast and another in Northern California, in what authorities called a white supremacist scheme.
Pedersen has pleaded guilty in state court to aggravated murder for the slaying of his father and stepmother in Everett, Wash.

How to Use a Condom (cont.)
The Male Condom
A condom is a thin sheath placed over an erect penis. A condom worn by a man prevents pregnancy by acting as a barrier to the passage of semen into the vagina. A condom can be worn only once.
Condoms are one of the most popular and affordable forms of birth control. You can buy condoms at most drugstores and grocery stores, and dispensers can often be found in public restrooms. Condoms are also called rubbers. Some organizations distribute free condoms.
Condoms made from latex are the best at preventing pregnancy. They also protect against sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS and herpes.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - The mayor of Las Vegas told President Barack
Obama in a letter that his comments about companies using taxpayer
money to visit Sin City are harmful to the tourist-dependent
But Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman didn't ask for an apology and
a retraction in the letter obtained Wednesday by The Associated
Press, as he did earlier in a television interview.
"Mr. President, I understand the enormous burden you carry in
dealing with the worst economy since the Great Depression,"
Goodman wrote in a letter sent late Tuesday.
"I also understand the need for accountability, but your
comments are harmful to the meetings and convention industry as a
whole and Las Vegas specifically," he said.
Mr. Obama said during a town hall meeting this week in Indiana that
companies shouldn't take trips to Las Vegas or go to the Super Bowl
at taxpayers' expense.
On Tuesday, an agitated Goodman worried that federal lawmakers
might be discouraging travel to the city and singled out the
president for criticism.
"What's a better place, as I say, than for them to come here,"
Goodman told KLAS-TV. "And to change their mind and to go
someplace else and to cancel - and at the suggestion of the
president of the United States - that's outrageous."
Goodman said Mr. Obama's remarks were unwarranted.
"He owes us an apology," Goodman said. "He owes us a
President Obama made the remarks while answering a question during a town hall meeting to muster public support for economic stimulus legislation.
"You can't get corporate jets, you can't go take a trip to Las
Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer's dime," Obama
A White House spokesman has said it was looking into the mayor's
comments and did not have immediate comment.
Las Vegas tourism officials worry that increased scrutiny on
business travel will discourage meetings and conventions - business
that is crucial for the city already suffering economically. The
number of visitors to Las Vegas was down 4.4 percent in 2008
compared with a year earlier, and visits in December alone declined
nearly 11 percent.
In the past two weeks, two firms that have received a combined
$35 billion in bailout money pulled out of large events in Las
Vegas at the last minute.

In mid-October on Timber Creek Drive, a home was broken into but nothing appeared to be stolen, until a month later when the homeowner noticed checks were missing and being used.
"The victim contacted me and stated she had some checks go through the bank that she didn't write and had been stolen during the burglary", says Detective Josh Masterson with Lexington Police.
The checks were used at a Mt. Sterling Walmart and a Lexington Walmart. The man police say used the checks was caught on camera leaving the stores afterward. They believe he could be responsible for other similar burglaries where only checks were stolen.
"We believe there's some other burglaries he's committed", says Detective Josh Masterson.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 cash reward for information leading to an arrest in this case. Call Crime Stoppers today at 859-253-2020. They only want your information, not your name.

December 1, 2015
NEW YORK (AP) - A new federal report shows the rate of child abuse in the U.S. dipped in 2008 to its lowest level since 1990.
The annual report from the Department of Health and Human Services was issued Thursday. It says the estimated number of victimized children had dropped sharply, from 903,000 in 2006 to 772,000 in 2008.
Carmen Nazario works as an assistant secretary for children and families at the Department of Health and Human Services. She says she was encouraged by the decrease, but sounded a note of caution.
She says, "The results show too many children still suffer from abuse and neglect, and we have not yet experienced the full impact from the economic situation."

Last Friday Google launched its first ever TV commercial for Indonesia. Many Twitter users here reported that they watched two different versions of the ads, and indeed, you can watch both at Google Indonesia's YouTube channel.
The first one is titled Google Chrome: Blood For Life, featuring an Indonesia community named Blood For Life Indonesia. The group uses a mailing list and Twitter (@Blood4LifeID) to encourage people to transfuse their blood. Here's the commercial.
For anyone who doesn't understand Bahasa Indonesian, here is is our translated transcript for the Blood For Life commercial:
[0:01]: (narrated news voice) Indonesian Red Cross is targeting four million blood bags every year, but the realization is troubled by insufficient numbers of donors.
[0:04]: (online news title) Lack of Blood Donors to Indonesian Red Cross
[0:11]: (group description) We all have blood to be donated
[0:15]: Group Info. Members: (counting up). Language: Indonesian
[0:16]: firstname.lastname@example.com: Valencia, please help my son
[0:17]: Jajang to me: My son has cardiac abnormalities. He needs very rare O- blood type.
[0:21]: If he does not get operated on today, he won't survive.
[0:25]: (title) URGENTLY NEEDED: O- Blood Type. (clicks) Publish Post | Forward | Share
[0:28]: (blog posts) URGENTLY NEEDED: O- Blood Type. O- Blood type needed for boy with cardiac abnormalities in Harapan Kita Hospital. Call Jajang.
[0:31]: We don't have much time
[0:34]: Dewi: My blood is O-! Arief: I can help. My blood is .. Sakti: I'm O-, where can I .. Yuli: I'm O-!
[0:36]: Fahmi is having his operation now. Please pray for him..
[0:42]: (inbox) Jajang: Thank you Valencia.
[0:44]: Jajang to me: Now, you're my family.
[0:49]: Your bloods flow in my son.
[0:52]: Valencia Randa, Mediator.
[0:54]: Make Internet as vast as your creation.
I've watched several Google ads from Google's Search Stories channel and the Google Chrome channel. Most of them are very sentimental and pull at your heart-strings. But since this commercial is local to Indonesia, it holds even more appeal for me. I almost cried when translating it into English.
Dear Lia
The second commerical is entitled Google Chrome: Lia Tersayang (or 'Dear Lia' in English). Check it out below:
Again, it's very sentimental. And thankfully, we don't have to translate it since it's using nearly the same script, videos, and photos as its American counterpart, Dear Sophie.
Both videos have been watched by thousands of people already. Blood for Life has more than 15,000 views and Lia Tersayang has more than 9,000 views as I write this.
Fun Fact – There are three Indonesian digital brand logos at the end of those videos: Detik.com, Kaskus, and Kompas.com.

Project Runway's Chris March—Exclusive Interview
In the history of Project Runway, there are few characters as big as Chris March. From his booming laugh to his lovable personality, March quickly became the fan-favorite designer who could produce high fashion and high camp, all from the same sewing machine.
Since his appearance on Season 4 of Runway, the New York-based designer hasn't stopped working. He recently published the photographic book I Heart Chris March, which chronicles his 25 years of costume and fashion design, and that led to a deal with NobleWorks for a line of humor greeting cards.
March took a couple minutes to chat with Gay.com about the big, bold, and beautiful things happening in his life.
Your book, I Heart Chris March, features a forward by Tim Gunn and is available through bookstores, Amazon.com, and your website. What's the relationship between the book and the NobleWorks cards?
MARCH: Someone at NobleWorks thought my outrageous costumes and characters would make funny cards. The cards are available now on the NobleWorks website and will be sold in stores around the country. The images for the cards are from the book, but some upcoming cards will be all new photos.
We heard you have your own show in development. Can you give us some details?
It is a show about me and my crazy workshop and my friends—think [Food Network's] Ace of Cakes in the costume/fashion world. We make everything from couture red carpet gowns to dancing hot dog costumes!
You dressed Meryl Streep for both the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. How did that come about?
She was a fan of mine from watching me on Project Runway. I know her hair and makeup artist, and he put us together. The rest is history!
What did you do when you first got the call for that job?
I almost fainted. I set up a time and day to meet her, hung up the phone, and started screaming and jumping up and down.
What was it like meeting her?
She is incredibly sweet and genuine and smart and funny. She said she was thrilled to meet me… Me!
You're known as the man with the big laugh from Project Runway, now you're creating cards for one of the top humor-based card companies. What's your philosophy about humor and how it relates to your art?
I have always geared my design towards humor—it's my specialty. I want to contribute to people having a good time in life.
Let's ask some random fun questions for your fans: Who are you listening to on your iPod?
An unreleased version of Stevie Nicks singing "Gypsy." I am a Stevie Nicks freak!
If you could be on another reality show, which one and why?
Top Chef. I studied to become a chef before my design career took off.
The boys want to know: Are you dating?
Yes. We have been together for over two years. He e-mailed me on Valentine's Day after watching me on the show. So romantic.
What do you look for in a guy?
I don't know… beauty of spirit and an idea about what they want to do in life.
What's one thing your boyfriend did that swept you off your feet?
He sent me a Stevie Nicks song I'd never heard. It was like an arrow through my heart.
Who's your current celebrity crush?
My boyfriend and I fight over who would get Ryan Gosling first.
What's your favorite place to hang out in New York?
Julius—the oldest gay bar in America, with the best burgers!
If you had one last meal, what would it be?
Fried chicken and a root beer float.
What inspires you?
Visual things. My eye will catch something and suddenly a whole huge idea will unfold in my brain.
You can meet Chris March at the National Stationery Show at Javits Center in New York on May 16th and 17th from 1 to 4 p.m.
Check out all the greeting cards here. Visit Chris March's website.

The Cedar City Police Department investigates a double homicide on Feb. 16. The incident marked the third murder in less than six months in Cedar City.
- Filed Under
A recent rash of high-profile criminal activity taking place in Cedar City has some residents on edge, but police say it's not indicative of the overall public safety.
"I don't think we can look at these recent events as a trend," said Cedar City Police Chief Robert Allinson. "Sometimes these things come in a group and then we'll have a period where nothing much happens. It's just how it works sometimes."
For some residents, however, the recent flurry of crimes - including three murders in the past six months and a recent bank robbery - creates an atmosphere of fear and worry. ...

Looks like Twitter is the new forum for angry stars (or their publicists) to fire back at Perez Hilton and other naysayers.
According to E!, the latest soap opera to emerge in 140 characters or less began last night when Perez caught wind that Pete Wentz and wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz had a massive fight at the one-year anniversary of his Chicago bar, Angels & Kings.
Hilton wrote that a trashed Ashlee started yelling at Pete while he was in the DJ booth, telling him he was acting "horrible" and finally made him leave his own party.
Always the instigator, Perez then tweeted @PeteWentz, "Sorry to hear about what Ashlee put you through last night!"
The gossip king says he has "multiple, multiple" sources who support the story, but Ashlee fired back with some angered tweets of her own.
"When all you do is make up untrue stories, look in the mirror. Do you even feel human? Karma is a bitch. Your story is WAY off," she responded.
Perez fired back, "I don't wanna name names and get people fired but several of the people I spoke with work at Angels & Kings. I'm not wrong." He even went as far as to suggest the 24-year-old star should seek help via a rehab facility. Ouch!
In the end, Ashlee got in the last words, saying Hilton was "WRONG," and advises that the blogger, "get ur own life."
This isn't the first time Hilton has suffered Twitter backlash for talking trash. Back in June, Hilton allegedly got popped in the face by the Black Eyed Peas' tour manager after being rude to Fergie and other members of the group.
Will.i.am of the Peas signed up for Twitter just to respond to Hilton's posts announcing that he had been assaulted by the hip hop star.
While we seriously doubt Hilton is in danger of physical harm from Ashlee or Pete, but it seems he has a hard time learning from past mistakes.

The Sandy Hook tragedy has torn at the hearts of many Americans, myself included. There is a veritable black hole surrounding the events at Sandy Hook Elementary which has given rise to conspiracy theorists and other savvy individuals.
We were told that Sandy Hook Elementary had a state of the art security system with video surviellance. Yet, not a single still or clip has been made public showing Adam Lanza (or anyone else) entering Sandy Hook with a weapon of any sort. WHY? A simple conclusion would be that the system didn't capture anything, because the hard drive/tapes were full or somehow overwrote themselves.
There are warm blooded Americans out there that believe Sandy Hook was not even a functional school at all. The plan to demolish a perfectly functional state of the art facility lends a certain credence to those claims.
The story presented to the American people is incomplete. So in light of that, persons have either contrived facts or attempted to uncover them for themselves. Those trying to understand what happen are summarily turned away, denied information and/or ridiculed.
Like it or not, Newtown is on the map now, and we are all watching, looking for answers. A well considered package of information would quickly staunch a majority of the criticism. The police and government work for us, it's our right to know the quality and results of thier efforts. The people of Newtown and the state of Conneticut are doing a great disservice to the American people, and the county they stand for by attempting to quash this vital information. Especially if the tragedy is used as a spring board to usurp our Constitutional Rights.
So please, stop the madness and release the information we need.

Thanks guys!
I took the 6 version instead of 7 solely because most of my clients are currently on version 6. So I didn't want to "master" java 7 concepts and then get all sorts of compile errors, etc in the shop. I eventually plan to take the 7 upgrade.
As far as my experience, I started Java about a year and a half ago. I had zero previous Java experience, but had been a mainframe programmer for four years, so the basic programming mindset carried over. I spent some time just learning Java basics (i.e. using a "Java for Dummies") kind of book. Once I understood the basics, I started preparing for the exam. Probably spent about 3 man-months studying (meaning if you consolidated all of my study time, it would have been from 8-5, Mon-Fri, for 3 months). Not to say that's what it takes, but I had the luxury of setting my own certification deadline, so that's how much time I gave myself.
As everybody else says, the Sierra and Bates study guide is a must. I read it cover-to-cover twice, with a highlighter in hand. Took all of the quizzes, averaging about 40-45% on the quizzes. One thing a lot of people don't mention on here is the separate Practice Exams book (
Practice Exam Book
). I started into this book after I felt I had gotten everything I could out of the study guide. This book has 2 assessments (short quizzes) to gauge where you are. Then it has 4 mock exams. It also (after practice exam 1) has a bunch of mini-coding exercises which really help (i.e. code a Collection that will allow duplicates; now code a Collection that won't allow duplicates). I averaged about 50% on these exams.
Finally, I ordered the mock exams through Oracle. These are the closest to the real thing. Sierra and Bates really toughen you up, but it can also be discouraging when you continually score low (if, like me, you score low). Oracle then comes along and gives you a confidence boost (also telling you how many correct answers to select, which helps). I took two of these and averaged 75%.
One thing I did that the practice exam book recommends, is begin to keep a log of things you get wrong (or get right, but for the wrong reason). So i maintained a log that had things like "remember! you can't access an instance variable in a static method!". That helps a lot, as eventually you get about 200 lines in an
spreadsheet of comments to yourself which you can read over and over.
One last thing...I took a bunch of mock exams, and all were within my home while my wife and daughter were at work/daycare (AKA zero distractions!). When I took the real thing, I was in a room with about 6 other people, who at times would come in or leave the room, cough/sneeze, etc. I was really nervous about the exam and those small distractions kind of threw me by surprise. So my point, maybe consider taking some mock exams with a little bit of distraction around you if you really want to get as close to the real thing as possible.
As you can tell, I'm pretty excited about sharing this stuff. Hope it helps, and best of luck to y'all!!

EMV2014: Rohde & Schwarz adds new liquid-cooled high-power broadband amplifiers to EMC portfolio
Munich, Mar 05, 2014 - Rohde & Schwarz now offers up to 10 kW of power in a frequency range from 9 kHz to 225 MHz with its R&S BBL200 amplifier family. Thanks to a new liquid cooling system, these models are quieter and more compact than ever before. The R&S BBL200 will be on display at EMV 2014 in Duesseldorf at booth CCD-202.
The high output power of the R&S BBL200 amplifier family makes these models ideal for EMS tests where high field strengths are required. They are particularly suitable for EMC tests in the automotive, aerospace and defense sectors in line with standards such as MIL STD 461F, DO 160F, ISO 11451, ISO 11452.
High 1 dB compression power and outstanding VSWR immunity ensure sufficient amplifier performance for typical EMC test application requirements. The amplifier can be operated using the display and buttons directly on the instrument, automatically via remote control interface or over a web browser. Effective protective mechanisms provide maximum robustness and failsafe performance.
Another advantage is liquid cooling, which made it possible to develop a quieter and more compact high-power amplifier than ever before. The bulk of waste heat can be dissipated with a heat exchanger, which the operator can even install outside the amplifier room to minimize air conditioning requirements and decrease operating costs. Rohde & Schwarz, a global market leader in broadcasting systems, used its decades of experience in liquid cooling systems and thoroughly tried and tested components when designing the cooling for the R&S BBL200 family.
The amplifiers are series-produced in one of the most modern plants in Europe. The award-winning Rohde & Schwarz facility offers superior manufacturing depth. Automated final test rigs ensure constant quality. The company's worldwide service network promotes trust and confidence.
The 3 kW model of the R&S BBL200 high-power amplifier family is now available from Rohde & Schwarz. The 5 kW and 10 kW models are scheduled for release in the second half of 2014. Rohde & Schwarz will present its EMC portfolio at EMV 2014 in Duesseldorf (booth CCD-202).

The Rohde & Schwarz electronics group is a leading supplier of solutions in the fields of test and measurement, broadcasting, secure communications, and radiomonitoring and radiolocation.

Pa.'s state-owned universities paid a million in searches for new presidents
Filling the presidential manse at Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities is a pricey proposition.
Records show eight universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education spent nearly $1 million — averaging more than $120,000 — on searches to fill presidential vacancies since 2010.
Search costs that ranged from $143,700 at Indiana University of Pennsylvania to $97,700 at Millersville University of Pennsylvania included bills for executive search consultants, travel, catering, advertising and background checks for candidates.
Though consulting fees make up the biggest part of the bills, a breakdown of costs for the searches showed travel for consultants, trustees and job candidates, some of whom live as far away as Alaska, came in second in most cases.
At Indiana, bills for travel, food and room rentals totaled $46,789. At Edinboro, travel costs were $48,715.
An ongoing search for a state system chancellor, expected to conclude this summer, and presidential vacancies at Shippensburg and California universities guarantee executive search bills will continue to mount.
"We've seen a lot of change," conceded Karen Ball, vice chancellor for external affairs at the State System of Higher Education.
Some university leaders left for greener pastures. Others exited amid controversy. Still others retired after lengthy tenures.
"There's no one overall trend. It just all seemed to happen at the same time," Ball said.
State system guidelines require university trustees to form a search committee and hire an executive search firm when presidential vacancies occur.
It's up to the committee working with the search firm to identify the university's needs and select three finalists. But the Board of Governors, which oversees the state system, makes the decision.
That's a sore point with state Rep. Glenn Grell, R-Mechanicsburg. Grell, a longtime Shippensburg trustee, said some university trustees would have preferred to short-circuit the process and appoint a longstanding university administrator to the presidency when the position opened recently.
"In these times, when resources are so scarce, it didn't make sense to spend the money," Grell said.
Jessica Kozloff was president of Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania for 13 years before retiring to head Academic Searches Inc., a Washington-based firm. Last year, her company collected $76,666 for a presidential search for East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania.
State records reflect costs for that search totaled $100,071, including about $20,000 for travel and $3,200 for meals and room rentals.
Kozloff said such costs aren't out of line, given the work that a search requires.
"You have all of the travel expenses to interviews, background checks. There's an awful lot that goes into it," she said, estimating the process typically involves six months of active searching.
John Hicks, a retired Slippery Rock University professor, was a member of the search committee whose work led to the appointment of Cheryl Norton as Slippery Rock president last year. He was taken aback when he learned how much the searches cost — Slippery Rock's totaled $117,744.
Yet Hicks said the work is intensive, "and every bit of information you can get is valuable."
"I suppose if you didn't spend the money and didn't get a good president, you'd think it would be well worthwhile. We ended up with five good candidates we felt we could live with," Hicks said, adding that Norton has proven to be a thoughtful, self-confident leader.
A survey by the American Council on Education suggests college presidents moved through executive offices more frequently in recent years. The survey of 1,662 colleges and universities found the average tenure of college presidents declined from 8.5 years in 2006 to 7 years in 2011.
And it's not just the state universities that pay six-figure search fees.
At least four major research institutions — the University of Pittsburgh, Penn State University, Ohio State University and the University of Michigan — are seeking chief executives. The search costs could run even higher at research schools. Though Pitt, Penn State and Ohio State haven't released dollar amounts, the University of Michigan recently adopted a $350,000 budget for its search.

Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Paul Goldschmidt's two-run home run in the seventh inning helped the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 6-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves in the finale of a three-game series.
David Peralta also hit a two-run home run and Chris Owings drove in a pair for the Diamondbacks, who have won five of their last six.
Chase Anderson (5-0) continues to impress as he won his fifth straight start to begin his rookie campaign. He gave up two runs on five hits with a walk and eight strikeouts over seven innings.
Justin Upton hit a two-run home run, while Freddie Freeman and Ramiro Pena added solo shots for the Braves, who have lost four of their last five games. Aaron Harang (4-5) was touched for three runs on four hits with six walks and four strikeouts over six-plus innings.
"They just wore me out eventually," said Harang. "I had to make a lot of pitches in those first couple of innings and it just got to me."
Trailing 2-0 in the seventh, Aaron Hill led off the frame with a single and Peralta followed with his first home run of the season to tie the game.
After Cody Ross walked, Luis Avilan took over and walked Eric Chavez. Following a sac bunt from Gerardo Parra, David Hale came on the mound and promptly served up a two-run single to Owings. Goldschmidt followed with his 12th home run of the season for a 6-2 lead.
"The guys just went off in that inning and really helped me out," said Anderson. "First Peralta and then Goldy with those big hits."
The Braves got two back in the eighth on Freeman's solo home run, and an RBI single from Tommy LaStella for a 6-4 game.
Pena homered off Brad Ziegler to start the ninth, but Ziegler set the next three batters down in order, striking out Freeman to end the game and pick up his first save of the season.
Atlanta grabbed a 2-0 lead in the sixth as Freeman singled with two outs and Upton followed with his 14th home run of the season, a shot over the wall in left field.
Arizona hosts Houston for two games starting on Monday ... Atlanta starts a
four-game series in Colorado on Monday ... Harang is 0-2 in his last five
starts. He fell to 3-9 in 18 games (17 starts) against the Diamondbacks.

"The richest genius, like the most fertile soil, when uncultivated, shoots up into the rankest weeds"
"So what if I'm smokin' weed onstage and doing what I gotta do? It's not me shooting nobody, stabbing nobody, killing nobody. It's a peaceful gesture and they have to respect that and appreciate that."
"Ever since our street split open a few years ago, that crack fills up with weeds. So each spring I'll spray the crack with weed-killer."
"Now 'tis the spring, and weeds are shallow-rooted;
Suffer them now, and they'll outgrow the garden,
And choke the herbs for want of husbandry."
"A weed is no more than a flower in disguise, Which is seen through at once, if love give a man eyes"

Barry Zito seeks his third straight win since coming off the DL while Jered Weaver looks to keep his hot streak going. Eye on Baseball Blogger Matt Snyder joins Lauren Shehadi to discuss those storylines and more in this edition of Baseball Today.
By Evan Brunell
ALL-STAR CRITICISM: Giants manager Bruce Bochy wasn't happy about criticism that Pirates manager Clint Hurdle and Marlins manager Jack McKeon leveled about his choices on who made the All-Star roster. Hurdle was annoyed that Andrew McCutchen hadn't made the team while McKeon questioned the selection of Bochy's player in Tim Lincecum.
Well, Hurdle fired back after hearing Bochy's comments, specifically that Hurdle and McKeon never lobbied for their players while other managers did, so how can they speak out against the selections?
"I don't think lobbying is a part of what you do in that position," said Hurdle, who has experience with the All-Star Game, managing it in 2008 when he represented the Rockies. "He's earned that opportunity by winning the National League championship. I just have never lobbied, and I never got any calls from any other managers lobbying the year I did it."
Hurdle did apologize if his comments were hurtful to Bochy.
"I have the most professional respect for Boch," Hurdle said. "He's a better manager than I'll ever be. My feelings came from the heart. Diplomacy, I guess, wasn't at the top of my list that day, and I can understand that as well.
"I've been on the other end of that. I just know that I took it with a grain of salt, and he felt he made the best decision for the National League because that's his job to represent. I wish the National League nothing but the most success that we go out and win the game.
"We've known each other back to when we were 16 years old. I can understand he's disappointed in what I had to say. I can deal with that."
McCutchen still has a chance to get on the roster as Ryan Braun from Milwaukee is hobbled by an inflamed tendon, and if he cannot play this weekend, will pull out of the game. (MLB.com)
ALL-STAR INVITE: Albert Pujols says he would be honored to go to the All-Star Game should he be selected as a replacement. Pujols missed his chance at going to the game thanks to his wrist injury, but could still squeak in as players pull out because of injuries or other reasons. It's possible Pujols could replace Braun. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)DODGER DEBACLE: More information in the saga that just won't go away. MLB has filed a motion that Dodgers owner Frank McCourt should not have the right to see various documents that McCourt is requesting, alleging that releasing the documents would turn the bankruptcy court hearing into "a multi-ringed sideshow of mini-trials on his personal disputes." (Los Angeles Times)
FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING: Davey Johnson has never ordered a suicide squeeze, per his own recollections. That changed Wednesday night for the Nationals. Wilson Ramos dropped a successful bunt, allowing Mike Morse to cross the plate with what turned out to be the winning run. (CSN Washington)
WHAT EYE PROBLEM? Mike Stanton visited an ophthalmologist Wednesday and received eye drops to combat an eye infection that has sent him spiraling into a slump. He's received eye drops and apparently they worked as he slammed a walk-off home run against the Phillies on Wednesday night to give the Marlins a victory. (MLB.com)
YOU'RE NO PUJOLS: Apparently Cleveland's Shin-Soo Choo is hoping to pull an Albert Pujols and get back on the field earlier than expected. After breaking his left thumb and staring at a diagnosis of eight-to-10 weeks out, Choo is telling friends he believes he can be back in early August. Given how fast Pujols returned, I suppose you can't rule it out, but ... well, don't go wagering on an early Choo return. (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
YEAH AND NO: That was the Dodgers' Andre Ethier's answer when asked if he was pleased with his performance so far. Hitting a career-high .317 is great, but Ethier's seven home runs are a sudden loss of power for someone who slammed 31 two seasons ago. (Los Angeles Times)
WORKHORSE: Justin Verlander has made 37 consecutive starts of 100-plus pitches, which is tops in baseball all the way back to 1999, and probably a bit farther back, too. Second place boasts Felix Hernandez at 32 consecutive games from 2009-10, while Randy Johnson pops up multiple times. (Baseball-Reference)
UNSAVORY COMPARISON: Just three months into Jayson Werth's massive seven-year deal with Washington, and he's already being compared to another player who was a colossal bust on his own big deal, not that it was his fault for the team throwing ill-advised money at him. "Him" is Alfonso Soriano, and that's definitely company Werth does not want to be associated with. (Washington Post)
JONES HURTING: Chipper Jones admitted he shouldn't have played Tuesday after he received a cortisone shot for a meniscus tear as he is trying to avoid surgery. "I just didn't feel right [Tuesday]," he said. "Not having that first step quickness, you favor it. It's hard to stay on back of it right-handed, swinging the bat. Just one of those things we've got to continue to monitor and deal with." For his part, Jones says he was perfectly fine for Wednesday's game. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
FIGGINS BENCHED: Finally. Chone Figgins has been benched and has easily become one of the largest albatrosses in the game. Figgin's replacement is Kyle Seager, who was promoted from the minors and will stay at third for the foreseeable future. (Seattle Times)
BARGAIN: Who were the best bargains signed as free agents in the winter? There are some worthy candidates in Bartolo Colon, Erik Bedard, Ryan Vogelsong and Brandon McCarthy. Fine seasons, all. But the best bargain is another pitcher, Phil Humber. Hard to disagree. (MLB Daily Dish)
CRAWFORD EN ROUTE: The Red Sox can't wait to get Carl Crawford back, and it looks as if that will happen after the first series back, which is in Tropicana Field. The Sox want to avoid Crawford playing on artificial turf right away, so a July 18 return in Baltimore appears likely (Providence Journal)

Price pattern today almost a perfect image of 1980
The chart below overlays the Silver today with the Silver price in 1980. The time framing and price scales are not identifical. It is the price pattern itself that is important.
Based on the price pattern, Silver today is following the script of 1980 with uncanny accuracy. And, based on the similarily of the patterns, Silver is headed to $20 to $25, probably by the end of the year.
Yet, a survey released Monday by Bloomberg indicated that the median expectation of 100 commodity analysts is for Silver to rally back to $49.79 by December 31.
I will trust history rather than the commodity analysts.

Hersh Shefrin : Better Trading Through Science : Bloomberg News
Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2011
Hersh Shefrin speculates on chemical enhancements that might make investing in the future fool-proof--or at least more rational, in an interview on Bloomberg's news website.
"Right now it's science fiction, but science fiction often becomes science," he said.

|Time perception of visual motion is tuned by the motor representation of human actions.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23378903 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Several studies have shown that the observation of a rapidly moving stimulus dilates our perception of time. However, this effect appears to be at odds with the fact that our interactions both with environment and with each other are temporally accurate. This work exploits this paradox to investigate whether the temporal accuracy of visual motion uses motor representations of actions. To this aim, the stimuli were a dot moving with kinematics belonging or not to the human motor repertoire and displayed at different velocities. Participants had to replicate its duration with two tasks differing in the underlying motor plan. Results show that independently of the task's motor plan, the temporal accuracy and precision depend on the correspondence between the stimulus' kinematics and the observer's motor competencies. Our data suggest that the temporal mechanism of visual motion exploits a temporal visuomotor representation tuned by the motor knowledge of human actions.

REDTOWN, TEXAS (Angelina County). Redtown is on Farm Road 1819 fourteen miles west of Lufkin in western Angelina County. The settlement was founded around 1900. A post office operated under the name Red from 1906 to 1907. In the mid-1930s Redtown had two churches, a school, and a store. Many residents have since left the area, but in the early 1990s there were still two churches and a cemetery at the site. In 2000 the population was fifty.

Make an appointment with yourself today that you will meet YOU for some exercise time on Thanksgiving day. You might want to plan that time BEFORE the big meal so you won't want to cancel on yourself. Canceling just isn't an option! Burn some calories before the meal and you won't feel so guilty about the food you do eat. Get ahead of the game! You can do this!!
What to eat, what to eat!? All those yummy foods on the Thanksgiving buffet and you have to decide. Already you have on an outfit with a waist so you can feel it getting tighter. Slow down so your brain gets the signal ... takes 20 minutes to feel satisfied. Then, take a tablespoon or less of the things you want. Taste each of them before you gobble one all down. Slow down. Enjoy people as much as food. YOU CAN DO THIS! Remember it's a holi-DAY, no more! Be sure to post your success!
471That piece of pie ... how big should it be? Here's an easy trick to show you exactly how big. Take a paper plate .... just a cheap one that will fold easily. Fold it in half. Fold it in half again. Fold it in half again. That's a total of 3 folds. That's the size your piece of pie should be. One eighth of the pie. That's your portion. Now, you have a visual of what you should reach for!
190 Before you fill your plate, survey the table, know the offerings, decide what it is that your taste buds REALLY do want. You don't have to have it all. But you can have a taste of what you want and that won't ruin your day. After you've eaten, track it. Be loyal to yourself. You deserve the best care on this day we're most Thankful.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 25, 2009-- Dyax Corp. (NASDAQ: DYAX) today announced that it has agreed to sell 7,425,743 shares of its common stock at a price of $2.02 per share in an underwritten public offering with no warrants.

The offering is expected to close on or about June 30, 2009, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is the sole underwriter for the offering.
Dyax intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the development and commercialization of DX-88, the Company's ongoing research and preclinical activities, and for general corporate purposes.
The offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement that has been filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional information and details with respect to the offering will be included in a prospectus supplement and related prospectus that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to closing. When available, the prospectus supplement and the related prospectus may be obtained from Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Attn: Prospectus Department, 100 Plaza One, Jersey City, New Jersey 07311, telephone: (800) 503-4611 or e-mail at email@example.com.

About Dyax
Dyax is focused on advancing novel biotherapeutics for unmet medical needs, with an emphasis on inflammatory and oncology indications. Dyax utilizes its proprietary drug discovery technology to identify antibody, small protein and peptide compounds for clinical development. Dyax's lead product candidate is DX-88 (ecallantide), a recombinant small protein that is currently being evaluated for its therapeutic potential in two separate indications. On June 1, 2009, Dyax submitted a response to the FDA's Complete Response letter regarding the review of Dyax's Biologics License Application (BLA) of DX-88 for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE). The FDA accepted the submission and assigned Dyax's BLA a new Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of December 1, 2009. DX-88 has orphan drug designation in the U.S. and E.U., as well as Fast Track designation in the U.S., for this indication. Additionally, DX-88 is being evaluated in Phase 2 trials for the prevention of blood loss during on-pump cardiothoracic surgery (CTS), which are being conducted by Dyax's partner, Cubist Pharmaceuticals. Dyax licensed to Cubist the intravenous formulation of DX-88 for surgical indications in North America and Europe. DX-88 and other compounds in Dyax's pipeline were identified using its patented phage display technology, which rapidly selects compounds that bind with high affinity and specificity to therapeutic targets. Dyax leverages this technology broadly with over 70 revenue generating licenses and collaborations for therapeutic discovery, as well as in non-core areas such as affinity separations, diagnostic imaging, and research reagents. Dyax is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For online information about Dyax Corp., please visit www.dyax.com.

Ok, ive noticed that a lot of people ask questions and sometimes they are ignored, or no one knows the answer, or they are just forgotten about. Not sure what the reason, but I for one feel like i get a cold shoulder a LOT of times. i'm not some richie punk who was handed my car. Ive worked really hard for it, and I've done almost ALL of the wrenching on it (i can't weld, so i guess i technically have done all the WRENCHING..)
I've asked a lot of questions, and Ive gotten very frustrated with the lack of participation from other members of this site. (No Offense to anyone on here, just speaking my mind.)
To put a long story short, I really wanted to create a group where its easier to find information, and where there is a lot of quick interaction. If you are interested in joining the group, then follow the link below!
This group is not intended to take away interest from this site, i LOVE this site, but its another way to spread the wealth of knowledge that each of us may have hidden away.
Again, If i have offended anyone I sincerely apologize.
If no one has interest, so be it.
I'm starting a public collection of part numbers and technical data, i will also be uploading and sharing all the Hako picture's I've ripped from the internet.
Please consider joining, and share what you know.
We are all very lucky to own a true piece of J-tin History, and I think we should be very humble, and spread the wealth.
ANYWAY, I want to extend my welcome to my Hakosuka owners club Facebook group.
If you are offended by this post, then i'm sorry.

The Eco-Conscious Thanksgiving Menu: Now Serving Greens!
The hidden cost of overeating on Thanksgiving isn't just an expanding waistline; it's a fatter carbon footprint, too.
Studies show that most groceries travel about 1,500 miles from the farm to store shelves. The same distance covered by your average car (one that gets about 30 miles per gallon) pumps out about 1,200 pounds of CO2, according to this math. Most commodities arrive in bulk on the back of a flatbed, so the impact is likely even greater.
To help you green up your Thanksgiving table, Government Information and Data Services Librarian Linda Zellmer has visually plotted the USDA's 2007 Census of Agriculture information to show where today's pilgrim staples actually come from. Some results are surprising—and might help you figure out where to overindulge a bit more eco-consciously.
For Chicagoans, having that second piece of pumpkin pie should be a no-brainer.
If you live in Dallas, though, it might make sense to skip the pumpkin and opt for pecan pie instead.
In Minneapolis, the greenest, and perhaps wisest choice of all looks to be simply buying a bigger turkey to fill up on. (It's going to be a cold winter anyway, right?)
Find more ways to customize your shopping list at this site. And remember, unless you live in Portland or Seattle, there's now ample evidence to stop serving that jiggly cranberry sauce all together.

I don't think this article is attempting to instill guilt, instead, just demonstrate that food is way beyond the boundaries of a grocery store.
There are far bigger and more significant things to be concerned about, but for me, I like this article as it is more informative rather than a subjective, do-this-or-else-the-planet-will-explode preach. I don't drive a prius, I leave the house with lights left on, I don't time my showers. I certainly don't agree with half of the "green" movement which is primary concerned with being trendy rather than actually earth-friendly, but it is interesting to me to see where our thanksgiving staples come from.
I love the suggestions above about reformatting a grocery store as opposed to the critical analysis of food origin. It's think kind of innovative thinking, by acknowledging a problem and PROVING a proactive solution that really makes a hypothetically good idea, into an idea that can change and truly impact the future.
My aunt, who's in her seventies, is hosting our family gathering this Thanksgiving. She has told us that she wants to talk about conservation and eco-friendliness. She has gotten the 5 teenagers in the family to be on board, and they've prepared a presentation of some sort about their role in being good stewards. They're going to love this article!
I'm surprised this story could rile any reader up. It's a soft-hitting, fun and informative article for the many Americans who are actively engaged in making "greener" decisions throughout their everyday lives. The author isn't telling anyone to feel guilty. He's just pointing out, with visual assistance, where our Thanksgiving bounty likely began its journey.
Many people have decided that the environment is worth it, at a personal level, and are making changes to their daily habits. Regardless of what the Chinese are doing, or what the next-door neighbor is doing, lots of Americans are choosing to live an environmentally friendlier life.
Where the effort to conserve and protect the environment *actually* loses vital support is not through an article like this, but rather in publications, broadcasts, reports, sermons, and what have you, that deny the very existence, impact, and/or cause of environmental troubles.
Happy Thanksgiving, all!
Ok, while China pumps tons of CO2 into the atmosphere and tons of mercury into the oceans, I'm to feel guilty about eating turkey on Thanksgiving?
This is where the effort to conserve and protect the environment begins to lose vital support. I can hear the right-wingers, "now they are going after our scared traditions, tearing down our holidays and destroying the family in the name of environmentalism."
I say there are far more serious sources of carbon footprint than pumpkin transportation so let's choose our topics of environmental education more wisely. We want consensus on this topic and we won't get it with stories like this.
How about recommending that grocery stores modernize their design to conserve energy? A supermarket has a mile of open, chilled meat space. Let's do study to compare the energy use of transporting turkey and storing turkey for sale. Choose things we can correct.

Delaware County woman may face dozens of animal cruelty charges
A Marcus Hook woman could face "dozens of charges of animal cruelty" after nearly 30 dogs were removed from property on Friday, Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals spokeswoman Wendy Marano said on Sunday.
Terry Silva signed over 28 dogs to the SPCA that were removed from Sixth Angel Rescue Inc. after authorities served a search warrant there on Friday and found the Delaware County house filled with animal waste, according to an item posted on the SPCA website.
"This is a case of animal rescue gone awry," George Bengal, director of law enforcement for the Pennsylvania SPCA, said in that story. "Instead of helping these animals, the owner of the rescue was actually hoarding them and keeping them in unsanitary conditions without the proper care."
Bengal and borough officials did not respond to emails or phone calls seeking additional information, but Marano said some of the dogs, mostly German shepherds and shepherd mixes, were in need of medical care. Among the animals were a puppy and a pregnant female.
"One of them was very, very old, and I don't think we were going to be able to do anything for it medically, so one was euthanized," she said.
The borough's board of health had served an administrative warrant after reportedly receiving numerous complaints of foul odors and poor sanitary conditions.
When SPCA officials saw conditions inside the property, they reportedly asked borough police to secure the building while a search warrant was obtained.
Attorney Joseph Lesniak, representing Silva, said his client is continuing to cooperate with authorities and the investigation, but he has not heard anything else about the case since early Saturday.
Silva, who served as solicitor for the Chichester School District for five years before her dismissal in 2003, has previously been cited by the borough and wardens from the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement regarding her rescue operation.
The most recent citation came in January for dogs continuously barking, according to online court documents.
Marano said charges in this case are pending examination results, but could be filed as soon as today. She said some of the dogs were a bit skinny, but those in good health are available for adoption.
Some of the animals have gone on to foster homes or rescues, but Marano said the majority are being housed at the Pennsylvania SPCA in Philadelphia.

Mercury Systems' industry-leading innovations in thermal management for air-cooled, conduction-cooled and VITA 48 subsystem chassis offer unprecedented levels of OpenVPX-slot cooling. And that means the heat is off prime contractors seeking to leverage high-performance, high-power sensor signal processing technologies.
Our new thermal management solutions are capable of transferring tremendous amounts of thermal energy at the component, module and subsystem level — while still meeting SWaP requirements for the overall solution.
Mercury's improved air-cooled integrated XMC thermal solution addresses the need for a standards-based approach to draw heat away from today's high-powered mezzanine cards, then onto the carrier module and ultimately out of the system. By adding "hooks" that connect to a thermal bridge between the card and module, the solution typically reduces mezzanine card temperatures by more than 5 degrees Celsius. This results in a five-times improvement in MTBF (mean time between failure), while remaining compliant with the VITA 48.1 mechanical specification for air cooling.
Our new conduction-cooled solution efficiently removes heat from mezzanine cards while staying within the ANSI/VITA 20 requirements for conduction-cooled PMCs. By leveraging flexibility built into the specification, Mercury's advancement calls for the removal of the optional thermal ribs and the addition of a mezzanine cold plate that attaches to the carrier module. This creates a cooling area that's up to six times the area of the legacy solution. Once implemented, maximum power levels of the mezzanine site that can be cooled are increased 15W per mezzanine site to an impressive 5W.
Mercury's revolutionary Air Flow-By™ (AFB) cooling techniques for VITA 48.7/48.1 circuit card assemblies reduce module weight by more than 20 percent, reduce the power of a typical system by greater than 5 percent, and improve the MTBF by five times. The AFB covers wrap around existing modules to create a sealed environment for protection against dust and contaminants, Level-2 Maintenance and EMI. The specially designed enclosures draw heat from the internal components to the exterior surface, where air is flowed across both sides of the module for maximum cooling efficiency.
