We have found through experience that pitching velocities at the
Pitcher/Catcher Indoor Showcase are typically 1-2 mph less than a
pitcher throws during the non-winter months under more normal outdoor
Alec Rash (2012/ADM HS, Adel, IA): The 6-5/190 Rash is an
excellent basketball player and probably isn't in ideal pitching
shape but no one did more to help their prospect status this weekend
than he did. He pitched at 91-93 mph, with more 93s than 91s and was
consistently down in the zone with excellent life at times. Rash is
caught between a curveball and slider now but showed he could both
spin the ball and has some feel for a change up. (Signed: Missouri)

House Budget Proposal Prioritizes Funding for Education
The State House of Representatives have unveiled their budget proposal. The Republicans argue that the economy is getting better and revenue is increasing, so we have plenty of money to fund whatever we need without raising taxes. They ignore the drastic cuts that were made during the recession that have left our state suffering. And while they may give lip-service to the idea of tax fairness, their fixation on "no new taxes" means supporting the status quo of a really unfair tax structure.
"After seven years of cuts totaling more than $12 billion, we have to take an honest look at the state of our state," said House Majority Leader Rep. Pat Sullivan (D-Covington). "We have to ask: 'Is this really what we want?' This budget is a stand against mediocrity. Just being 'Okay' is not acceptable."
What the House Democratic Budget will do:
- $3.2 billion – Additional K-12 spending, a 21% increase in funding over last biennium
- $1.4 billion in K-12 policy adds that will count towards that state's McCleary obligation including:
- K-3 class size reduction
- Full funding for all-day kindergarten for every child in the state
- Materials, supplies and operating costs
- Supports to prepare students for college and careers
- The remaining $1.8 billion investment pays for the policy decisions made towards fully funding education in the 2013-15 budget.
- $1.4 billion in K-12 policy adds that will count towards that state's McCleary obligation including:
- $385 million – Restore cost-of-living adjustments for school employees.
- $227 million – Expansion of quality early learning and childhood education.
- $256 million – Investments in higher education including two years of tuition freezes, student financial aid, and high-demand, high-salary degrees.
- $100 million – New mental health capacity to ensure that people get the help they need in their time of crisis.
- $9.6 million – Restore previous cuts to the state's Food Assistance program that feeds hungry children, families, and seniors in the state.
As a result of an unfair and outdated tax structure, state revenues are becoming increasingly inadequate to pay for essential state services like basic education, health care, and prisons. The state doesn't have adequate resources despite a growing economy. After seven years and $12 billion in budget cuts stemming from the Great Recession, many lawmakers believe now is time to act on revenue reform.
"We have the most unfair tax structure in the nation," said Rep. Reuven Carlyle (D-Seattle), House Finance committee chair. "Our tax system hurts working families, the middle class, and small businesses, while the wealthiest individuals and corporations don't pay their fair share. It's time to build fairness in the system so that we can make critical investments in our state's economy."

Legislative cut-off shows clear differences between Democrats and Republicans
Democrats prioritize equality, hard-working families, the environment, and schools as legislative deadline passes.
OLYMPIA – Wednesday evening marked the legislative cut-off, where bills either get passed on to the other chamber or die a legislative death for the year. As the cut-off came and went, the differences in priorities between Democrats and Republicans became increasingly clear.
On Wednesday, the final bill Democrats in the House took up was the Equal Pay Opportunity Act sponsored by Rep. Tana Senn (D-Mercer Island), aiming to eliminate gender discrimination when it comes to compensation in the workplace. Despite the state's 1943 Equal Pay law, women make just 79 cents to the man's dollar, ranking Washington 33rd in the nation.
The bill, which was opposed by an astounding 43 Republicans in the House, would seek to lessen that gap by prohibiting employers from retaliating against employees for discussing workplace compensation.
"The difference in priorities is clear," said Jaxon Ravens, Chair of the Washington State Democrats. "Actions speak louder than words, and Republicans in Olympia have repeatedly shown that instead of investing in Washington, they side with special interests, big corporations, and extremists who want to take us backward when it comes to our basic rights."
Other key policies passed by the House and opposed overwhelmingly by Republicans include:
- The passage of the Reproductive Health Act, which requires health carriers to cover contraceptives and other women's health services, better allowing women, not employers or special interests, to control health decisions.
- Landmark legislation to support workers and economic growth by increasing the state's minimum wage to $12 per hour incrementally over the next four years and provide sick and safe leave for workers who may fall ill, have a loved one get sick, or be victim of domestic violence.
- The Washington Voting Rights Act, which ensures equitable and fair elections and protects all Washingtonians' right to participate in local elections, regardless of where they live.
- New laws to protect our environment by holding oil companies accountable through the implementation of new safeguards on oil train transport and banning of toxic chemicals flame retardants from furniture and children's products.
- Expanded investments in early learning through the Early Start Act, which expands the effective, high-quality programs and policies that have made Washington state a nationally recognized leader in early learning.
Additionally, Senate Republicans showed their misplaced priorities by advancing an agenda that aimed to roll back environmental protections, attack workers rights, and eliminate needed school funding despite an overwhelming budget deficit.
Policies passed by the Senate Republicans, despite objections from Democrats, included:
- Oil train legislation that would hurt first responders' ability to respond to rail accidents and that sides with oil companies by forcing safety improvements upon taxpayers.
- Rollbacks of workers compensation laws that help protect injured workers who are hurt on the job and attacks on the right of workers to organize.
- Legislation that would shift nearly $1 billion that could go toward our schools to pay for roads and that hurts the environment by preventing low-carbon fuel standards.
"Republicans in the Olympia are out of touch with the priorities of Washington residents," said Ravens. "When hours are spent on the floor of the Senate debating if scientific consensus exists on climate change or when good policies like increasing the minimum wage and providing sick leave for workers don't even get a public hearing in committee – we need a change in leadership."
2015-16 Leadership Elected
The Democratic Precinct Committees officers of the 42nd District gathered on January 10th to elect new officers for the 2015-2016 term. The new leaders are:
Chair: Natalie McClendon
Vice Chair: Tom Brakke
Secretary: Aileen Satushek
Treasurer: Don Starr
State Committee Woman: Teresa Taylor
State Committee Man: Justin Finkbonner
Our State Committee persons will be representing us at the Washington State Democratic Party meeting on January 24th, where they elect the state party leaders for the next two years. These leaders, at both the local and state level, will be responsible for organizing and executing the 2016 Precinct Caucuses, to select a presidential nominee.
The new 42nd District Board will be meeting soon to set goals for the coming two-year cycle. Any Democrat in the 42nd District interested in participating in leadership and decision-making may contact the chair, Natalie McClendon, at 360-319-8287.
New Officers Elected January 10th
The Jan. 10th, 2015 meeting of the 42nd LD Democrats will include an official PCO Call to meet and elect new Officers for the 42nd legislative district. At this meeting we will hold our biennial re-organization and elect new officers for the 42nd LD. Only PCO's who were elected in the last August primary will be allowed to vote. An official post card will be sent out to those members. Rules state that the Chair and Vice-Chair must be of opposite gender. Other positions include Secretary, Treasurer, State Committee Man and State Committee Woman. We will be taking nominations from the floor. I will not be running for re-election this year and I hope some of you will step up and keep our organization going strong.
PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR January 10th, 10am, Machinists Hall in Ferndale. We look forward to seeing you!
More info: Sherry Zeilstra, Chair, 380-1438

Re: will update my software erase my hard drive? in response to hschack1
Not unless you erase the drive yourself.
shldr2thewheel Dec 3, 2012 6:25 PM
Re: will update my software erase my hard drive? in response to hschack1
this should not be a concern as you should always have a backup of your data, especially before a major OS X upgrade.
hschack1 Dec 3, 2012 7:41 PM
Re: will update my software erase my hard drive? in response to shldr2thewheel
i don't have an external hard drive though. is there another way i can back up my data? i am mostly just concerned about music
Kappy Dec 3, 2012 7:51 PM
Re: will update my software erase my hard drive? in response to hschack1
No. You should buy an external drive to use for backup.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is used to manage backups and to restore backups.
Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
3. WiebeTech
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Captain Puzzle is a colorful puzzle game in the vein of Bust a Move (which itself is on the App Store, by the way) and Snood (ditto). As Captain Puzzle, you throw little colored balls at similarly colored villains; when you are able to get three of the same color touching, they'll disappear and give you points. The 50 levels are set up Angry Birds-style, with each level requiring you to chase down three stars, challenging you to collect them all as you play along.
The game offers both OpenFeint and Game Center integration, but unfortunately, there's just the one mode to play through; it'd be nice to see an endless mode or even a multiplayer mode added in eventually. But the basic gameplay is there, with some fun objective-based twists on the old Snood gameplay. The superhero theme makes for some fun graphics and nice music. Captain Puzzle is available on the App Store now, on the iPhone for US$0.99.

Earths core has a large magnetic Reynolds number, probably around 1,000, primarily because it has a large linear dimension (the radius of the core is about 3,485 kilometers). Simply put, it is very difficult to create a large magnetic Reynolds number in small volumes of fluid unless you can move the fluid at extremely high velocities.
The decades-old dream of generating a spontaneous magnetic field in a laboratory fluid dynamo was first realized in 2000, when two groups--one led by Agris Gailitis of the University of Latvia and one by Robert Stieglitz and Ulrich Müller of the Karlsruhe Research Center and Fritz Busse of the University of Bayreuth, both in Germany--independently achieved self-generation in large volumes of liquid sodium. (Liquid sodium was used because of its high electrical conductivity and low melting point.) Both groups found ways to achieve high-speed fluid flow in a system of one- to two-meter-long helical pipes, resulting in the critical magnetic Reynolds number of about 10.
These experimental results support the theory, which gives us a measure of confidence when we apply our theoretical ideas about dynamos to Earth and other planets. In labs across the world--at the University of Grenoble in France, the University of Maryland, the University of WisconsinMadison and the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology--scientists are developing the next generation of lab dynamos. To better simulate Earth-like geometry, these experiments will stir the liquid sodium inside massive spherical chambers--the largest nearly three meters in diameter.
Besides the ongoing plans for more realistic laboratory dynamos and 3-D computer simulations, the international satellite CHAMP (short for Challenging Minisatellite Payload) is charting the geomagnetic field with enough precision to directly measure its changes at the core-mantle boundary in real time. Investigators anticipate this satellite will provide a continuous image of the geomagnetic field over its five-year mission, allowing them to watch for continued growth of the reversed flux patches as well as other clues about how the dipole field is waning.
We expect that a synthesis of these three new approaches--satellite observations, computer simulations and lab experiments--will occur in the next decade or two. With a more complete picture of the extraordinary geodynamo, we will learn whether our current ideas about the magnetic field and its reversals are on the right track.
GARY A. GLATZMAIER and PETER OLSON develop computer models to study the structure and dynamics of the interiors of planets and stars. In the mid-1990s Glatzmaier, then at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) at Los Alamos National Laboratory, created (together with Paul H. Roberts of the University of California, Los Angeles) the first geodynamo simulation that produced a spontaneous magnetic dipole reversal. Glatzmaier has been a professor in the department of earth sciences and IGPP at the University of California, Santa Cruz, since 1998. Olson is particularly interested in how Earths core and mantle interact to produce geomagnetic fields, plate tectonics and deep mantle plumes. He joined the department of earth and planetary sciences at Johns Hopkins University in 1978, where he has introduced geophysics to more than 1,000 students.

What is this thing we do called planning? Are we really planning or just reacting? And visioning? What's that all about? These the questions that came to mind as I was reading yesterday's - Ineffective Local Planning Efforts Push County To Seek Greater Control. And, also, how many articles like this are published on a daily basis?? If you were to add them all up from across the country, I'm sure the number wouldn't be insignificant.
To plan anything requires a goal; or at least a touchstone. With population growth, migration, changing demographics and subsequent market demands, how can an area's goal or vision be reached, especially, if it is to take 10 or 20 years to achieve the vision in the first place? How many changes will have occurred in that time frame? How would you then define success?
I don't know if there are 'correct' answers to these questions, but it seems they are willfully ignored in many of today's conversations. The planning and development model seems to have changed from helping people create the communities they want to live in to one dominated by short-term interests. Get in, make a buck, and get out. Or if you're already living there, its wait until you can't possibly stand it any longer, then throw in the towel and to move where growth is less imminent. (Mind you, that's after cashing out for as much as possible.) Our individual self-interests operate at a different speed than what is sustainable and as long as we don't each have to pay for the consequences of our actions, then why not take all you can get?
It's the knowing, in the back of one's mind, that plans change over time and the resulting uncertainty drives people to make decisions that satisfy their short-term interests; even though it will likely cause them harm or inflict greater cost in the long run. Consider this: You invest in the stock market to build some wealth, maybe even to put your kids through college. You buy shares in a mutual fund; your fund owns stock in a homebuilding company. Now, 'your' homebuilding company wants to put houses up in your neighborhood. But you don't want more houses there. But you do want to put your kids through school, right? Which will it be? Ok, put up the houses, I'll move somewhere else with a view. A simplistic example, sure, but it happens everyday.
There are too many disconnects and crossroads in today's planning and development to be sustainable perhaps even successful?

Church's Architecture Lauded: Virginia Site Has Colonial Look Dating to 1729
Herres, Robert W., The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
There are many Colonial churches in Virginia, and many are called Christ Church. But the one historians consider the "most perfect example of Colonial Church architecture remaining in Virginia" is Historic Christ Church, near the small town of Irvington. Located between Richmond and Norfolk on Virginia's Northern Neck, the town is an easy three-hour drive from the Beltway.
One reason for the Episcopal church's near-perfect preservation is the fact that no battles were fought nearby. Just as important, though, it was privately owned.
It belonged to Robert "King" Carter.
When the vestrymen of his parish decided in 1730 that a new church was needed to replace one built in 1669, Carter offered to bankroll it. It wasn't all altruism - he wanted to protect family graves. His father and four of his father's five wives (the fifth is interred in the family's native England) were buried in the chancel of the old church.
Carter insisted that the church be built on the same site as the old one. The vestrymen, who had originally planned to build in nearby Kilmarnock, agreed.
Carter died in 1732 at the age of 69, three years before the church was completed. But his legacy lives on: Since the church was part of his estate, it was spared after the Revolutionary War when the state of Virginia sold, rented or simply destroyed many Anglican churches.
The church looks today much as it did when the workmen first laid down their tools. It feels the same, too, being still without heat, air conditioning or electricity.
The architect of the building has never been firmly documented. It is thought that Christopher Wren or one of his students may have helped design it.
The building is shaped like a cross, about 70 feet long in each direction. The 3-foot-thick walls are of bricks laid in a Flemish bond pattern. The headers are a gentle red color, and bricks framing the windows and doors have an orange tone that was produced by rubbing.
The roof, slate with two pitches, resembles a pagoda. It's possible that the unique roof design has also added to the permanence of the building.
The ceiling, made of oyster-shell plaster, is 38 feet above a stone floor. …

Brian Hansen's family has a photo of him, at age 12, wearing an ear-to-ear grin as he poses with his speedskating hero, Shani Davis. It was taken more than a decade ago, when Davis was an emerging star and Hansen was a neophyte on skates, his mop of hair barely reaching Davis' shoulder.
Who knew then what it foreshadowed?
Davis and Hansen, both natives of suburban Chicago but now based in Milwaukee, could soon be posing for more photos — this time on the podium at the Winter Olympics.
They are expected to lead a talented U.S. long-track team in Sochi, Russia, and will compete in the same races, the 1,000 and 1,500 meters. They're also likely to form the backbone of a men's pursuit team that should be a medal contender.
First, however, they have to make the Olympic team at the long-track trials Friday through Wednesday at the Utah Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City. They'll race in the 1,000 on Sunday (2 p.m., NBC) and the 1,500 on Tuesday (5 p.m., NBCSN).
Although anything can happen at the one-shot trials, Davis and Hansen are virtual locks to make the team.
Davis is the world record-holder in both races and is ranked No. 1 in both in the World Cup standings. Hansen is ranked third in the 1,000 and fourth in the 1,500, even though he skipped two of the four fall World Cups to concentrate on his training at the Pettit National Ice Center.
Davis, 31, will be one of the biggest stories in Sochi as he pursues a third consecutive gold medal in the 1,000. He also won silver medals in the 1,500 in Turin and Vancouver.
The 23-year-old Hansen, meanwhile, could be one of America's breakout stars. Four years ago, he was the youngest U.S. long-track Olympian and was happy just to make the team. He finished 18th in the 1,500 and helped the Americans win the silver medal in team pursuit.
"Before Vancouver, I almost didn't even want to talk about the Olympics because I didn't want to quote-unquote jinx myself," Hansen said. "I didn't want to say, 'I'm going to make the Olympic team' and then ... nothing."
This time around, a stronger and faster Hansen is much more confident in his ability and isn't afraid to put his goals out there.
"I've had four more years under my belt to improve, so coming back now I have a little bit higher goals," Hansen said. "I'm more willing to say, 'A goal of mine would be to win an individual medal.' I think that's one of the main differences."
Nancy Swider-Peltz Sr., Hansen's longtime coach, didn't hesitate when asked what would constitute a successful Olympics for him.
"Top three in both races," she said. "I think he can podium in both. I'm not going to say which color (medal). He's capable of any color. He's capable of all colors."
Hansen, a native of Glenview, Ill., has done it his way. He's never trained with the national team, preferring the familiarity of Milwaukee and the Pettit Center ice and the consistency of Swider-Peltz's coaching to the national program.
"I've trained independently my whole life, actually," Hansen said. "I'm one of the only skaters not to move out to Salt Lake City and train with the national team. It's something that's always worked for me and I've built my training and my home around it.
"I'm certain there are things out there that I'm missing out on, but what I gain by maintaining the same coach and doing the same program has overpowered that in many ways."
Hansen attended Marquette University for 1½ years after the Vancouver Games but put his education on hold to train for Sochi.
He lives — or rather, sleeps — in a studio apartment near the Marquette campus.
"There's not even a TV," he said. "Just a bed."
He spends much of his time at the Pettit Center, where he typically trains twice a day, five days a week. Between training sessions, he'll eat lunch and catch a nap just down the block from the Pettit in a house Swider-Peltz rents for her skaters.
In his spare time Hansen has worked with his brother to develop a product called Bottlebark, a combination foam roller-water bottle available for $30 at www.bottlebark.com.
A creature of habit, he said he eats the same sandwich for lunch nearly every day.
While other skaters regularly change coaches or training environments — even Davis has been nomadic over the years — Hansen has stuck to the same plan and it's worked for him. He's had a personal best in at least one distance every year since he started skating.
"You figure out what works for you and you stick with that," said Hansen, who estimated that he has spent 5,000 hours at the Pettit Center. "You have a program and instead of switching it all around you take one piece out one year and put in a different piece the next year."
In the fall World Cup opener in Calgary Nov. 8-10 he won silver in the 1,000 and won the "B" group race in the 1,500 with a time that would have taken bronze in the "A" race.
In Salt Lake City the next week, he finished second to Davis in the 1,500 with a time of 1 minute 42.16 seconds, the sixth-fastest time ever skated at that distance.
"And Shani has the fastest three, so I'm the fourth-fastest person, which is kind of cool," Hansen said. "Chad Hedrick, Denny Morrison (of Canada) and Shani are the only guys who have gone faster than me in the 1,500."
He also won bronze in the 1,000 and silver in team pursuit with Davis and Jonathan Kuck, another Milwaukee-based skater. Their time of 3:37.22 was a U.S. record.
Hansen skipped World Cup races earlier this month in Astana, Kazakhstan, and Berlin and came home to prepare for the trials.
"There's a certain amount of strategy involved because the Olympics is, at least in the United States, everything," Swider-Peltz said. "So we took the strategic move to put all our cookies in that basket."
If it all works out, there will be plenty of photo ops in Sochi.

For a number of reasons I have been away from alternative printing for a couple of years and am now in a position to start printing again. However I notice that potassium dichromate (I use it for contrast control in the kalitype process) is not readily available to individuals in the UK and although I have a small amount of chemistry remaining I was wondering whether any one could possible help with a couple of questions I have:
1. Can you substitute sodium dichromate for potassium and if so is it obtainable in the UK?
2. What is the shelf life of 5% potassium dichromate solution? (I have about 80ml made up which is I guess about 3 years old).
I'm guessing this has caused a few problems to other UK alt printers and wonder how this lack of availability of potassium dichromate has been over come?
Thank you

Get a copy of the manufacturer's service manual. It will list the procedures with drawings and torque specs. The biggest thing you can do to mess it up is to tighten the pivot bolts while the car is jacked up. That clamps the new bushings in a permanent twist. You need to have the car sitting on the tires when the bolts are tightened.

December 1, 2015
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Sen. Ben Nelson says the Senate's health care bill isn't perfect, but he voted to advance the proposal because something needed to be done to control costs.
The Nebraska Democrat issued a statement early Monday defending his vote to advance the bill. Nelson is already facing criticism from Republicans in his home state because of his support of his party's health care reform plan.
Nelson says too many people are struggling to pay for their health care, so doing nothing wasn't an option.
Nelson says he's glad the health care bill doesn't include a government-run health care plan, and it does include language to restrict taxpayer funding of abortions.
But abortion foes objected to the bill's language because it isn't as strong as current law.

LAS CRUCES >> A Las Cruces man received a prison sentence in federal court Tuesday for a drug trafficking conviction.
Agustin Abascal, 28, of Las Cruces, N.M., was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release for his methamphetamine trafficking conviction, according to a news release from the New Mexico U.S. Attorney's Office.
Abascal and Mark Anthony Harriman, 45, also of Las Cruces, were arrested last April, and charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in Doña Ana County between Nov. 2012 and March 2013. According to the complaint, Harriman and Abascal sold methamphetamine to an undercover New Mexico State Police officer and a DEA informant. Both men have been in federal custody since their arrests.
Abascal entered a guilty plea in July 2013, admitting selling methamphetamine to an undercover officer on five separate occasions between Nov. 2012 and March 2013.
Last July, Harriman admitted that between Feb. 6, 2013 and March 14, 2013, he obtained methamphetamine from California and sold it in Las Cruces.
Harriman also admitted that, when federal agents executed a search warrant at his residence, they seized nine firearms and large amounts of ammunition that belonged to him. Harriman acknowledged that he was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because he previously was convicted of two felony offenses.
Last October, Harriman was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release. Harriman also was ordered to forfeit the firearms and more than 1000 rounds of ammunition seized from his residence in addition to $13,940 in cash.

Delmarva's Dylan Bundy pitched five innings with three strikeouts and one unearned run in the Shorebirds' 4-1 loss to the Lakewood BlueClaws.
- Filed Under
SALISBURY - In the young professional career of Dylan Bundy, the right-handed pitcher has been put on a gradual pitching routine in order to limit his innings this season.
After three starts of three and four innings each, last year's first-round pick would take the mound for the first of his five-inning starts. While Bundy excelled in his most-recent start with three strikeouts, two hits allowed and an unearned run, the Shorebirds couldn't muster enough offense as they fell to the BlueClaws 4-1 Monday night.
"Overall, I'd say it was a pretty decent start other than fastball command on the ...

Dwight Grimestad
Thank you, Dianna. Good morning, and welcome to ADM Second Quarter Earnings Conference Call. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that we are webcasting this presentation on our website, adm.com. The replay will also be available at that address.
For those following the presentation, please turn to Slide 2, the company's Safe Harbor statement, which says that some of our comments constitute forward-looking statements that reflect management's current views and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results. Statements are based on many assumptions and factors, including availability and prices of raw materials, market conditions, operating efficiencies, access to capital and actions of government. Any changes in such assumptions or factors could produce significantly different results. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events.
Slide 3 lists the matters we will discuss in our conference call today. And I will now turn the call over to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Pat Woertz.
Patricia Woertz
Thank you, Dwight, and welcome, everyone, to our second quarter conference call. This quarter, we are hosting our conference call from Europe as we have spent a week with our European team and ADM's Board of Directors reviewing our operations here.
I'll begin as always with safety. During the quarter, we reduced our lost workday injury rate by another 5%, and total recordable incident rate by 15% compared to fiscal 2010. We continue to make important progress on safety.
Turning to our financial results. This morning, we reported net earnings of $732 million or $1.14 per share on a fully diluted basis, a 30% improvement versus the prior year. Operating profit improved by 40%. Excluding the large LIFO charge and other specified items that Ray will discuss in a moment, ADM earned $1.29 per share. I'm very happy to say that the ADM team delivered outstanding performance across the board, resulting in record operating profit. Amid strong demand and regional dislocations, we used our vast global network to deliver for our customers and for our shareholders.
During the quarter, we continued executing our strategy to drive profitable growth. In North America at the end of December, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in Golden Peanut, the largest U.S. handler, processor and exporter of peanuts. This is a business that fits well with our existing U.S. Oilseed and Export operations, and will support our growth objectives in the global oilseeds business. We are enhancing our U.S. origination footprint with the construction of an elevator in South Dakota and two elevators in Nebraska. In South America, we opened the first large-scale fertilizer blending plant in Paraguay. This plant, located on the Paraguay river in Villeta will strengthen ADM's connection to the country's growing agricultural sector. The soybean processing facility that we discussed last quarter is being constructed adjacent to the plant.
Also in January, we founded the ADM Institute for the Prevention of Postharvest Loss at the University of Illinois. This global institute will work with farmers in the developing world to help reduce the 10% to 20% of the global grain harvest lost to mishandling and postharvest operations each year.
Looking ahead, global markets remain dynamic. In this environment, we used ADM's exceptional capabilities, our unique global asset base and the insights of our team to drive value and to serve vital needs.
Now I'll turn the call over to Ray who will review our results.
Ray Young
Thanks, Pat, and hello to everyone on the call today. I'm very happy to be with you to share our second quarter results. Slide 5 lists our financial highlights for the quarter. We will discuss the quarterly results but also list the accumulative six-month results for your reference.
Overall, financial results this quarter were very strong. Segment operating profit was $1.36 billion, up $392 million or about 40% from a year ago. And in a moment, I'll review our results on a segment-by-segment basis. Quarterly net earnings were $732 million, up $165 million from last year's second quarter, and earnings per share we're $1.14 compared to last year's EPS of $0.88.
Looking at our effective income tax rate for the quarter, reported tax is at 27%. Similar to our first quarter and just down over 1% compared to second quarter of last year. As you can see from the waterfall chart at the bottom of the page, we've called out a few items. You'll note that there was a significant change in our LIFO inventory reserves due to sharp rises in commodity prices over the last three months. We recorded a charge of $158 million after tax or approximately $0.25 per share compared to a $0.05 charge in the same period last year. Also we had net gains of other specified items of $64 million or $0.10 per share. These were comprised of: One, a gain of $44 million after-tax or $0.07 per share, as a result of revaluing our prior 50% interest in Golden Peanut to fair value in conjunction with our purchase of the remaining interests; two, mark-to-market gains on interest rate swaps that contributed $34 million after-tax or $0.05 per share; and three, startup cost this quarter of $14 million after-tax or $0.02 per share. We'll discuss these in greater detail when we review our corn segment.

McPRICE MYERS 2011 GRENACHE "L'ANGE ROUGE" SANTA BARBARA COUNTY 750mLWe love how distinctive this wine is. From the very first sniff, you know this is Grenache and you know its gonna be awesome! Spice, red fruits, touch of oak, flowers (violets) on the nose, with majestic flavors of strawberries, currants, black cherries, sandalwood, and touch of rawhide in the mouth. Ripe, rich, and full-bodied, yet still shows acid on the finish. The modest tannin, good structure, and lively make this a great food wine!
ANTONIO GALLONI 92 POINTS - "I always look forward to tasting McPrice Myers's wines, as they are so full of character and personality. That is certainly the case with these 2011s and 2010s. As always, the wines are bold, rich and juicy. Readers will also want to take a look at the wines Myers makes under his Barrel 27 label, which are reviewed separately here. Those wines also deliver plenty of personality, but at lower price points."
"The 2011 L'Ange Rouge is gorgeous in this vintage, even if it needs time for some of the slightly rough edges to melt away further in bottle. Dark red cherries, pomegranate, spices and tobacco all emerge over time. The 2011 is another striking, hugely appealing wines from McPrice Myers. The medium-bodied style is best suited for drinking over the next handful of years. Drinking window: 2014 - 2018."
ROBERT PARKER'S THE WINE ADVOCATE 90 POINTS - "These 2010s and 2011s from McPrice are straight up fantastic. Very classy and pure, they all benefitted from substantial air time and deserve another year or two in the cellar. In addition to delivering rock-star quality, they also represent superb values. This is another Paso Robles producer who has consistently produced outstanding wines that remain more than reasonably priced given their quality. They merit serious attention!"
"Moving to the 2011 reds, and one of the more southern Rhone styled Grenache blends coming out of California, the 2011 Grenache lAnge Rouge offers up beautiful kirsch liqueur, garrigue, spice and basil-like nuances as well as a medium to full-bodied, nicely focused and structured palate. Theres some tannin to resolve, yet its sweet and well integrated. Enjoy this beauty over the coming 4-6 years. Drink now-2019."

1992 Ford Tempo • 100,000 miles
Key was twisted in lock tumbler and would not pull out. Lock would not turn. Could not tell what position the key was at, Accessory or Run etc. Removed lock and attempted to install new LOCKSmart (LC14130)Lock. After inserting new lock key would not turn in any direction so the retaining pin did not snap into place. Is this difficulty caused by the key alarm not being disconnected. Car battery is disconnected? Tempo has power steering, however the steering wheel freely turns in both directions. Is there away to determine whether or not the lock is in the RUN position?
October 1, 2012.
October 1, 2012.
It doesnt say in my repaur info what position I would try the run postion first. Turn the housing with a screw driver till all the dash lights come on then see if the cylinder will lock into the housing.
What do you mean use a screwdriver to turn the housing? What housing? Also - According to the new LOCKSmart installation instructions - All Ford Automobiles are serviced in the run position.
I said try the run position first so I was right.I was talking about insert a screw driver into the ignition housing where the cylinder goes then turn it till the dash lights etc come on so you know its in the run position. Then try inserting the cylinder again.
When I look inside the hole where the cylinder goes I see at the bottom of the hole an small opening where the protruding metal end of the cylinder fits. Also I see, on both sides of the small opening some brass metal. I suppose the metal protrusion that slips into this small opening pushes against this brass metal when the key is turned. Is this small hole where I should insert the screwdriver and then turned the screwdriver?
Should be right in the center where that tang goes that comes off the ignition cylinder the partthat turns when you turn the key.
Alright keep me posted.

I really liked that.
I really liked how even though it was an AU, it had all these Tangled elements, like the hair and Mother Gothel and Maxine as Maximus and Pascal as a cat. :3
And of course the Rapunzel/Eugene romance was just beautifully written, built up in all these wonderful ways. Their adventure in Disneyland was so adorable and everything.
yayyyy happy ending!
| Tabbykatroses chapter 10 . 6/12/2013
This entire story was so cute. I fell in love with it... Is it strange to want to hug a story?

I've really enjoyed this. I like the choices you made abt what to keep & what to ignore from the movie. It made for a tighter modern version than something that tried to slavishly follow the original. excellent job!

Aww this was so clever! Sad it's over but it was reeeeeaaaaallllllyyyy gooooood.

Please continue! I was hoping there would be more Eugene and Rapunzel in the end and was disappointed when there wasn't. So PLEASE do drabbles of the road trip/after they're all reunited. :) good job on this story btw!

The scores in Figure 3 were calculated by assigning a score to each respondent depending on whether he or she favoured substantial increases (+2), slight increases (+1), the status quo (0), slight decreases (-1), or substantial decreases (-2) in spending on education, welfare, and daycare. Respondents' numbers for each question were then summed and divided by three in order to create a combined score in the original range (of -2 to +2). A high score indicates greater support for increased spending and more resistance to cuts. The average scores on the resulting index were -0.2 for Social Credit delegates, 0.0 for Conservative delegates from BC, +0.2 for all Conservative delegates, +0.8 for Liberal delegates as a group and +0.9 for Liberal delegates from BC.
The pattern suggested by these scores is different from the distributions on the continentalist scale illustrated in Figure 2 only in the slight shift of the Social Credit activists to the right of the BC Conservatives and the increased distance between these two groups and the national Conservative delegates. The national and BC Liberals remain very similar. A majority (over 80%) of the Liberals, regardless of level, favour increased spending compared to 55 per cent for Conservatives as a whole and under 40 per cent for BC Conservatives and Socreds.
The Social Credit party rests upon a group of political activists who lean to a definite centre-right position on the political spectrum, exhibit homogeneity on some major issues, but are divided on a number of substantive questions including items related to government restraint and deregulation. They are also people with clear ideological links with Conservative activists in federal politics. The strength of the left may have helped drive federal and provincial party systems apart in British Columbia, but they have apparently not severed the ideological connections between the parties of the right.
The parties which have dominated recent federal and BC provincial elections have attracted activists with remarkably similar views. While Social Crediters are, on average, located to the right of federal Conservative activists, in fact they share that position with Tory activists from their own province. Here is some evidence of a division in activists' attitudes associated with the federal character of Canadian political life, at least for the Conservatives. But given the pronounced similarity in views between Tories and Social Crediters in British Columbia, this effect seems to be primarily a function of

[UPDATED: Distributor Claims Opening Numbers Were Strong] Sarah Palin Movie Debuts in OC to an Audience of . . . One Lone Atlantic Reporter
UPDATE, JULY 19, 4:57 P.M.: Despite the abysmal turnout at The Undefeated's midnight debut in OC, the film's distributor, ARC Entertainment, is declaring the opening weekend numbers a win. A news release called the opening "stronger than expected," earning a per screen average of more than $11,000 at AMC 30 at the Block. Producers plan to roll out the film in more cities soon.
The Atlantic's Conor Friedersdorf followed up his piece, "Sarah Palin Movie Debuts to Empty Theater in Orange County," recommended on Facebook by more than 50,000 people, with another piece, "How I Became the Subject of a Conspiracy Theory," which chronicles the barrage of praises and attacks he received after the story was published, with some conservatives suggesting that Friedersdorf attended a secret showing.
"The fact that so many people imagine I am invested in the movie's failure, or that anyone cares deeply about its box office performance other than the filmmakers themselves, is frankly baffling to me," he writes.
The Undefeated was written and directed by Stephen K. Bannon of Laguna Beach.
ORIGINAL POST, JULY 15, 12:45 P.M.: Well, it was Harry Potter night, after all.
While in town visiting his parents, Atlantic editor Conor Friedersdorf decided to work some reporting into his trip by checking out last night's premiere of The Undefeated, aka the Sarah Palin documentary, and interviewing the folks who made their way out to the late-night showing. AMC at The Block in Orange is one of only 10 theaters in the country rolling out the film. He figured there'd be a huge turnout in a county where "even Richard Nixon's association with this place is treated as a point of pride."
What he came back with was a sad yet hilarious account of being the only one in the theater. (Sort of. A pair of girls entered after failing to score tix for Pottermania, and near the end of the film, a couple wandered in to make out.)
The Undefeated follows Palin's journey to become a tea party superheroine after John McCain tapped her to be his running mate in 2008.
Does Friedersdorf's piece reveal that the former governor's fan club is shrinking in OC? Perhaps, though more likely, its members probably just don't stay up that late.

Barnack Hills & Holes National Nature Reserve
Barnack Hills & Holes is managed as a national nature reserve[1] and Site of Special Scientific Interest[2] by Natural England, a non-departmental public body vested in 2006. It is situated in the village of Barnack in the unitary authority area of Peterborough in the United Kingdom. There are 222 NNRs in England covering over 350 square miles (900 km²) and practically every kind of landscape. This site has been selected by Natural England as one of its 35 Spotlight Reserves.
Arising from the rubble of a medieval quarry, the Hills and Holes is one of Britain's most important wildlife sites. Covering an area of just 50 acres (22 ha), the grassy slopes are home to a profusion of wild flowers. This type of meadowland is now all too rare; half of the surviving limestone grassland in Cambridgeshire is found here. In 2002 it was designated as a Special Area of Conservation, to protect the orchid rich grassland as part of the Natura 2000 network of sites throughout the European Union.[3]
The unique hummocky landscape was created by quarrying for limestone. The stone, sometimes known as Barnack Rag, was a valuable building stone first exploited by the Romans over 1,500 years ago. Most famously, stone from Barnack was used to build Peterborough and Ely Cathedrals. By the year 1500 however, all the useful stone had been removed and the bare heaps of limestone rubble gradually became covered by the rich carpet of wild flowers that can be seen today. The limestone was originally formed in Jurassic times. It is made from the remains of billions of tiny sea-creatures which lived in a warm shallow sea that covered the area 150 million years ago.[4]
Barnack's rich flora supports a wide variety of wildlife, especially insects, and a number of nationally scarce species are found. Limestone grasslands are traditionally grazed with sheep and at Barnack, grazing is carried out in autumn by up to 300 sheep. These remove the summer growth and build-up of leaves, stalks and grass tussocks that would otherwise die back to form a dead layer, or litter, on the ground. Without grazing, the build-up of coarse grasses and litter would rapidly choke the rarer lime-loving plants.[5]
It is a popular spot for locals to walk their dogs, go for walks and den building. In winter, the reserve is filled with people from the surrounding area who come to sled down the small hills.

Lincoln Mark VII
I have a 1994 Lincon Mark VII 302 v8. I left the ignition switch on and I have auto headlights so at dark the headlights come on automatically, so the headlights were on also overnight. When I got a jump start this morning the headlights stayed on and will not go out. I pulled the headlight switch and the headlights went out but the park lights stayed on so I pulled the fuse to them. I have tried a new headlight switch and a new auto dimmer switch and a new sensor that turns the lights on at dusk. Still the same problem.

That sounds like sarcasm, but it seems a lot of people actually think TOS looks
I can't say I've encountered many people who think TOS looks "good" from a purely
standpoint. The vast majority of people (on this BBS or elsewhere) that I've talked to about TOS - no matter how much they like the show - acknowledge that the era in which it was made holds it back in terms of visuals.
That said, what I HAVE seen tons of is the idea that TOS had good (or, among Trek shows, the best) aesthetics. That disregarding the quality of film and of special effects, the overall
of TOS, stylistically - uniforms, ships, control panels, weapons, etc - was great. Which I really don't get; I find TOS' look goofy and ridiculous, myself. Buuuut, if I'm being fair, that's really a matter of personal preference. There's no objectivity to disliking (or liking) the aesthetics.

text: Michael Hurley is one of the last remaining ramblin' American folk troubadours. Hobo-ing around the country, making music since the days Bob Dylan first set foot in New York City's Gaslight club, Hurley recorded his first album for Moses Ash's legendary Folkways label in 1964 and continued to release albums for both Warner Brothers and Rounder. His mid-'70s Have Moicy album was among the top ten for the decade selected by Rolling Stone magazine. While many of his contemporaries are long past their prime (or deceased), Hurley's muse is still intact. Hurley's songwriting talent hasn't gone unnoticed by a new generation of musicians. In recent years, he was invited to tour with alt-country heroes Son Volt and Lucinda Williams. He's also shared bills with Smog and Palace Brothers, played with the Giant Sand rhythm section, and has of course appeared with (and been covered by) Vetiver and appeared on their records. His songs have also been covered by indie stars Cat Power and Yo La Tengo, among others. So, the matter at hand, a new album of recordings sung and played by Hurley, backed by Ida, appropriately titled Ida Con Snock: Snock himself marvels at this 21st studio album, recorded at Levon Helms' studio in Woodstock, NY. Ida's less-is-more finesse shines on these rich recordings, melding perfectly with Hurley's playing and singing. Many of these songs are already well familiar to Hurley's devotees. There are seven originals and five loving covers of '50s rock 'n' roll, C&W, and vintage folk, each tune capturing Hurley and band at peak performance levels. "Hurley is a national treasure." --Schott Schindler, Time Out New York "Whether weaving a yarn about a mysterious hog or comparing the human heart to a mechanic's toolbox, Mr. Hurley create[s] elaborate vistas in a musical version of outsider art." --Ann Powers, New York Times "Hurley remains one of the elusive masters of American folk." --Chris Morris, Billboard "A true and deliberate neo-primitive, his inspiration springs from nature, the rural blues, and the lure of remote hills and woodlands, landscapes that loom in the backgrounds of his comics like vast parabolic gumdrops." --Vernon Tonges "Undoubtedly one of this country's greatest folk singers...." --Chuck Cuminale Opener for Jolie Holland in October: 10/1 * Acoustic Music, San Diego, CA 10/3 * Large at the Coronet, Los Angeles, CA 10/4 * The Independent, San Francisco, CA 10/6 * Triple Door, Seattle, WA 10/7 * Mississippi Studios, Portland, OR For more info check out Hurley's website: http://www.snockonews.com

See that group of phones just sitting around, pretending not to have a care in the world?

If you'll recall, this device, along with the Lumia 520 (shown after the break), was recently leaked for arrival within Indonesia. While we've yet to learn of other markets or concrete specs for the pair of smartphones, it just became a bit more likely that we'll see the Lumia 720 and Lumia 520 formally greet the world in just a matter of days. Game on, Nokia.

Frankly, I've long been sick of analog nostalgia. You know, "models are better than CGI", "vinyl LPs are better than digital", all of it. Maybe these things were true once upon a time. I don't care they aren't true now.
And if you don't agree, well, its not like your existing 480-interlaced disks are going anywhere. For the rest (as the Modernists liked to say) "Make it New".
I think this is a bad analogy. A CD is not trying to synthesis sound from scratch that sounds like real sound. A model has weight. The light hits it just right. Its a real object. A CG model is and it render engine is trying to simulate that real thing. Yes, the CG is more flexible, but it is also a less than accurate representation of the model.
But the whole point of CG is being able to do things which are impossible with a model, or would take so much time and money with one that they are unpractical.
While I LOVE Physical models, and am not opposed their use in any way shape or form, they are overall harder to do than CGI and more time consuming. I can knock together a good enough spaceship mesh in a day or two and be animating it by the weekend. I highly doubt a model animator could say the same thing and achieve the same results.
