Kim Kardashian Wears Skin-tight Leather Skirt, Fur Stole in Latest Pregnancy Outfit: Picture
Are we sensing a trend here? Kim Kardashian wasn't shy about showing off her baby bump -- and bum! -- in the latest iteration of her monochromatic non-traditional maternity wear.
The reality star opted for a skin-tight, black leather skirt and sleeveless white blouse while running errands in Beverly Hills on Thursday, March 21. And Kardashian, 32, didn't let her pregnant baby bump get in the way of accessorizing either: The trendy mother-to-be completed her look with a black fur stole and heavy gold bracelet.

The night before, Kardashian experimented with a different kind of fabric, donning a black velvet-and-lace ensemble while stepping out to dinner with pal LaLa Anthony on Wednesday, March 20.
"Being pregnant is not as easy as my sister [Kourtney Kardashian] made it look or as my mom [Kris Jenner] has made it look," Kanye West's girlfriend admitted to E! News last weekend at the red carpet premiere of Tyler Perry's Temptation. "It's a little painful. I've gotten sick a couple times. It's getting a little bit more difficult [to get around]."
Kardashian, who is due in July, added that she's been trying to prepare for the baby by taking things a little easier in the months leading up to the birth.
"I like to be active," she said. "But I've been chilling out. I took a week off, just to rest, and it was amazing."

The Languedoc-Roussillon region
Carnas is situated in what is known as the Piedmont Cevennol, the hilly country between the Mediterranean and the Cevennes mountains. Largely dedicated to vineyards, it produces numerous little vintages which you can taste in every village. Steeped in history, this part of France has been one of the longest inhabited and there are plenty of sites to visit dating from Roman times or before (see our website for more complete information).
From the mining museum in Ales to the Silk museum in Durfort or the Roman Arena in Nimes, history surrounds you. There are also quite a few caves to visit, welcoming refuge from the midday heat and breathtaking too, the Grotte des Demoiselles being the most famous and the closest one. Closer to the sea there is the Camargue National Park with hundred of protected bird species, horses and bulls.
Carnas is a very small quiet village with just a church, a baker and , of course, a wine cooperative offering pretty decent local produce.
The summer is the time when all villages have their "fetes" so within a radius of 10 miles you are sure to find something to do in the evenings, from fun fairs to bull chasing and dancing or simply sitting at a cafe and watch it all happening.
During the day, there's canoeing, walking, sailing etc.. or simply lying on the beach or by the side of the pool. We try to keep a list of all festival up to date at the house.

Final yard the most difficult for Cowboys' offense
In the fourth quarter of Sunday's overtime win at Indianapolis, the Dallas Cowboys failed to score on three consecutive plays from the Colts one.
Tashard Choice was held to no gain on two carries, and Jon Kitna had a pass deflected at the line. The Colts' defensive front pushed back the Cowboys' line on each snap.
For the Cowboys, this has been a common occurence all season. They have run 17 plays from an opponent's one and scored only six times.


text:
Through a tense final period, neither side could get away, the defenses assuming control as points became precious. As regulation time wound down, chances to win the game faltered, and at 51-51, the two sides entered overtime.
Again, it looked like Skaneateles would win. Both Paul O'Donnell, who finished with 18 points, and Pat Roberts, who finished with 14 points, fouled out, but still the Lakers seized a 60-57 lead and needed just one more defensive stop to close Grimes out.
Skaneateles smothered Stone, making sure he didn't get a look -- but forward Mike Sugamosto took full advantage and took an open 3-pointer with nine seconds left. He made it, sending the game to a second OT - -- at the same OCC venue where Skaneateles lost to Marcellus in a double-OT game a month ago.
Without Roberts or O'Donnell to stop him, Sugamosto took over in the second OT, getting six of Grimes' first eight points in that frame. When the Lakers tried to rally once more, Stone used a pair of free throws with two seconds left to clinch it.
All told, Sugamosto had a triple-double of 23 points, 17 rebounds and 10 blocks, while Stone earned 22 points. Roberts and O'Donnell had to be good because Kevin Rice, who finished with 13 points, never quite got on track as Zach Brownlee added seven points and Brandon Barron picked up six points.
Skaneateles finished 16-5, and three of those losses were to Grimes. With only Tom Schoener and Kyle McQuiggan departing, the Lakers will be a heavy championship favorite in 2010-11 as long as Rice, Roberts, O'Donnell, Brownlee and Barron stay around.

Button interface to Bordmonitor on BMW E39 and E46
This thread will be used as communication channel as well as documentation of common project originally started on hacktheibus.
I will edit this initial post so that latest info always will be found here.
Code, schematics, gerber files etc will be shared. Maybe with copywrite.
By removing these connectors from the E39 and placing them onto own pcb to interface the buttons on the BM there will be room to do a screen upgrade since there is no use for original BMW electronics anymore. Goal is also to make it fit the E46 as the buttons in that BM are designed in a similar fashion.
Art has reversed enginered the button pcb's of the E39
Drawing over E39 button pcb here
I have reverese engineered button pcb's of the E46
Pictures and pinout of right pcb here
Pictures and pinout of left pcb here
Pictures and pinout of knobs here
Eagle files of BMW button pcb's here
E39 and E46 button pcb's are very similar
Originating from E46 I have added E39 specifics into Eagle project here
There are some differences in electronics between the E39 and E46
1) E39 has diodes on all inputs, E46 has it only on some.
2) There is one extra LED on E39 for FAN
3) The eject button is connected to GND on E39
4) The common wire for Phone and Clock has no series resistor on E39
5) Button layout differ
6) LED series resistor values differ. Probably different supply voltage.
In order to interface them both onto the same pc. Design suggestion and schematics
- Remove all diodes on button pcb's.
- Add zero resistor or jumper to set cpu in E39 or E46 mode. This is the only way I have come up with to change behaviour of INFO-DISPLAY-MODE buttons.
- Use analogue inputs for buttons that has parallel resistor ladder. Will save IO, and the switches have 250-1000ohm resistors.
- "Digital" IO input for eject button on E39
- Add digital logic to decode knob pulses into pulses according to direction
I have made an initial design with Eagle here.
It is not complete, but size of board, position of holes and connectors are correct.
Art schematics
schematics one here
schematics two here
Eagle symbols
The propriatory BMW Connectors
Milexis ibus chip here TH3122here
E46 BM button codes
Made as one piece to make it cheaper.
Now there is room for the LCD interface board! You can see the flat cable that interconnects the two pcb's, and the interface cables. 12V, 0V and IBus.
I had to make a new pcb for the E46, as holes overlaped. I also added a connector for the original buttons on the LCD panel (select input, brightness etc) so that I could throw those buttons away, and simulate them by propriatory ibus messages from the PC. What I will do is to add a menu to the front end. As you can see, I have also cut away the mid piece from the frame to make it easier to fit the LCD panel. 3 wire interface is not on picture. (12V, GND and iBus) Left and right pcb are connected with 20 pole flatcable (on picture)
C# application for test. One tab for E46 and E39, and a tab for simulating LCD panel button presses.

It's Black Friday, the official opening of Shopping Season, perhaps the biggest day of the year for retail sales. The countdown to Christmas begins today, and for many people the spending scoreboard has begun to tick off the days while adding up the gifts.
A lot of people were whining the day after the election, because their candidate for president didn't win. It's OK to whine; some people think they've earned the right to whine by voting. But some folks have gone too far.
We all are sympathetic when a natural disaster hits because of lost lives and damage to property. The personal toll can be tremendous as well as the overall economic cost.
The first time someone threw a baseball into the metal door at Barton Community College's Kirkman Center, it may have been an accident. But today, Athletic Director Trevor Rolfs has dozens of photos of damaged walls, heavy vinyl curtains, and the aforementioned door, all of them pocked or broken from the hundreds of baseballs, softballs and soccer balls that have been hurled without a thought or care about the damage being done.

Great Bend loves holidays.
Tattoos-once the forte of motorcyclists and Marines have over the past number of years become common amongst the young an the young at heart, perhaps as a way to separate themselves as a generation.
Election Day is Nov. 6, but a good number of Americans have already cast their ballots. On Thursday, Barack Obama became the first sitting president to take advantage of early voting. His wife voted earlier in the month.
In addition to voting for a president, Kansas voters will make a decision this election that could amend the state constitution. If it passes, it would be the first step in lowering the property tax paid by boat owners.
Most weeks the Great Bend Tribune reports on at least one fundraiser that involves food. We can mark our calendars by pancakes, spaghetti or homemade chicken-noodle soup. In the coming weeks we'll have several opportunities to sample some food specialties by local cooks. In so doing, we may actually be helping others.
Governor Sam Brownback has made another misstep in regards to the School Efficiency Task Force designed to find efficiencies in schools by not appointing any educators.
In the next week or so, many Great Bend children will have some homework and will need their parents to lend a hand with it.

Big-Boat Trends & InnovationsBy Michael Vatalaro
Published: October/November 2013
New options, from propulsion to stabilization, are popping up on midsize cruising and fishing boats. Here are some features you might see at the fall boat shows.
Gyro Stabilization
Stabilizers are usually associated with larger-displacement speed trawlers and yachts, but Seakeeper recently unveiled a model aimed at 36- to 43-foot boats and kicked things off by installing one on a 39-foot Intrepid 390, a boat that's anything but slow. The 50-knot Intrepid was designed as a custom tender and is the first boat of its size to have a gyro installed.
Gyroscopic stabilization works by spinning a flywheel to create angular momentum. If you've ever stood a bike on end and spun the front wheel, angular momentum is the force you feel resisting efforts to turn the handlebars back and forth. To create angular momentum, you can either spin a really big flywheel with a lot of mass slowly, or a smaller one very fast. Seakeeper has taken the latter approach; their M5500 model spins at 7,500 rpm generating 5,500 newton-meters per second of angular momentum, which translates to a righting force of around 9,600 newton-meters (7,000 pound-feet of torque). That energy is transmitted to the boat by mounting the gyro unit down low in the stringer grid along the centerline. When the boat starts to roll, the gyro rotates fore or aft on gimbals, creating a counterbalancing force. The rate of roll is controlled by a pair of hydraulic arms and a digital processor. The result is up to an 80-percent reduction in roll.
The Seakeeper is effective even at anchor, because it doesn't rely on the forward motion of the boat to generate righting forces. The system does require power from a genset; a 20-amp circuit is necessary to spin up the flywheel. But there are no external protrusions to slow down a fast boat like the Intrepid and possibly hang up a fishing line or be damaged. Expect more high-end fishing boats, in particular, to sport these in the near future.

500 police return from training in Turkey
KABUL (PAN): About 500 Afghan National Police (ANP) officials returned home from professional training courses in Turkey, an official said on Saturday.
The policemen, who had completed three months basic training in Kabul, were sent to Turkey for higher professional training on August, 22, according to the interior ministry.
Najib Danish, the ministry's deputy spokesman, told Pajhwok Afghan News the officials had been trained at one of Turkey's prestigious universities.

Hot on the heels of earlier deals this year with Oracle and Capgemini, the government has announced that new deals with Microsoft and SAP should save taxpayers as much as £70m by 2015.
The negotiations will save, says the Cabinet Office, £65m on Microsoft software licences alone, and £3-5m on SAP software.
The savings, explained the Cabinet Office's executive director for commercial relationships, Bill Crothers, at a press conference this morning, are due mostly to imitating the way the private sector negotiates contracts.
"Previously, each [government] department would do business with the supplier as a client in its own right," said Crothers, "but in the private sector you'd add together all the business that each subsidiary does with the supplier and you'd take that single figure."
Former CEO of Micro Focus and "government crown representative" Stephen Kelly added that the IT supply deals with Microsoft and SAP had allowed the administration to "move away from complete dependency on legacy software, improve competition, and use it for leverage in terms of aggregation."
Kelly talked of how the government is now keen to use this added flexibility to start moving its technology outlook forward.
"We're keen on open source, a level playing field, cloud computing and moving to a variable cost structure, rapid project delivery and agile methodologies," said Kelly, before adding that the new contracts allowed "enough flexibility to be able to move licences as the whole structure of the Civil Service is set to change."
Kelly revealed that many of Microsoft's agreements in negotations with the government were "driven by discussions and relationships with NHS trusts."

In traditional oil and gas wells, drillers use a vertical bore hole.
We saw a little bit of blue fire just forward of the vertical rudder, the upper rudder.
I had to time my vertical motion of the camera to his descent.
I bought wine and I made a wine list and it was the first wine list of its kind: vertical, horizontal, and diagonal.
Not put on display in Recife was the one substantial piece of the A330 yet found, its vertical stabilizer.
Presently he saw the vertical beams of the sun again piercing the opening in the distance.
This consists of two sections, one horizontal, the other vertical.
Evidently, the quantity of wood surrounding the vertical wire at e must be twice as great as that surrounding the wires b and c.
vertical staving was used to carry the wale around the stern.
Certainly, the fallacy of counting on vertical steel to carry load, in addition to the concrete, has been abundantly shown.

I'm at a time in my life when I'm obsessed with minimizing future regrets and, to that end, I feel compelled to agree to just about any experience.

At least 20 feared dead as bombs fall on crowd of farmers gathered to sell crop
BEIRUT, lebanon
Syrian warplanes bombed an olive oil factory packed with farmers Tuesday, killing at least 20 people in the latest regime strike to rip through a crowd of civilians, activists said.
The bombing comes as the civil war takes a devastating toll on an already beleaguered population. Human Rights Watch said it found "compelling evidence" that the regime used cluster bombs in an airstrike that killed at least 11 children this week.
It was not immediately clear whether the olive press was the intended target, or if the plane misfired. The government generally does not comment on rebel claims and there was no official reaction to the latest allegations.
But two anti-regime activist groups — the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees — said the factory was hit Tuesday near the northern city of Idlib.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said "tens were killed or wounded," while the LCC said at least 20 people were killed. Syria restricts independent media coverage, making it difficult to determine the exact toll.
Both groups depend on a network of activists on the ground around the country.
President Bashar Assad's regime has been relying on air power in recent months, mostly in the northern province of Idlib, the nearby province of Aleppo, Deir el-Zour to the east and suburbs of the capital, Damascus.
Hilal Khashan, a political science professor at the American University of Beirut, said the air force is being used in areas that the overstretched army cannot easily reach.
"This is mass punishment," Khashan said. "The regime is desperate and wants to make the price of its opponents' victory costly."
Olive oil is a main staple in Syria. Tens of thousands of tons are produced annually.
Meanwhile, Syrian rebels downed a military helicopter with a surface-to-air missile outside Aleppo on Tuesday, video uploaded by anti-government activists appeared to show, in what was thought to be the first confirmation of a major battlefield advance for rebels — the acquisition of heat-seeking missiles that they are capable of using.
In one video, a utility helicopter that appeared to be a Russian-built Mi-8 can be seen banking in a slow left turn and then being hit squarely near its engine by a fast-moving projectile rising at a sharp angle from below.
The crippled aircraft manages a partly controlled descent in spreading flames, as a voice off-camera shouts, "sarook," or rocket, before it strikes the ground and explodes.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Linda email@example.com The Clayton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution Tuesday banning smoking in all Clayton County Parks and Recreation facilities, including public parks. The new regulation, which is effective immediately, makes it unlawful to "smoke or use tobacco products, including but not limited to snuff and chewing tobacco, within a [Clayton County] park," according to the resolution. Smoking was already prohibited in all county buildings, said Detrick Stanford, director of the Clayton County Parks and Recreation Department. "One of the things we try to do, through initiatives and through the board support, is to heighten the quality of life in the county. Health and wellness is important to us," said Stanford. "So this is an aggressive effort, that's supported by the board, to make sure that ultimately we're really taking care of the health issues of our community, primarily as it pertains to parks," he said. County Commissioner Sonna Singleton was a proponent of the smoking ban. "He [Stanford] brought it to me. I thought it was a great idea, so I supported it," she said. The smoking ban was added to an ordinance which already prohibits selling, possessing, or consuming alcoholic beverages within a park, unless a special permit for consumption of beer and wine has been issued by the county. Stanford said the county will begin an aggressive campaign to inform the public about the smoking ban. In addition to posting no-smoking signs at county parks, the Parks and Recreation Department will provide information on the county's web site, and at meetings of county-sponsored groups and neighborhood associations, according to information provided to county commissioners. Stanford said violators of the smoking ban could be fined, but would likely receive a warning first. "Ideally, the spirit of what we're trying to get accomplished here is really to educate the constituency. Ultimately we're not trying to penalize anybody," he said. "What we're really trying to do is educate [people] on the effects of second-hand smoke." Stanford did not have information on the amount of a possible fine for violating the ban. According to county documents describing the purpose of the smoking ban, the goal is to "protect people from the effects of second-hand smoke, which include an increased risk of heart disease, cancer, emphysema and other diseases." In other business during Tuesday night's commission meeting, Clayton County Water Authority General Manager Mike Thomas updated the board on the authority's compliance with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division's requirements for water supply and conservation, waste water management, and watershed management plans. Thomas said the authority recently received a letter from the EPD stating that it is in good standing with its water management plans. Also during the commission meeting, the board approved the appointment of former Clayton County School Board Chairperson Ericka Davis to fill a position on the county's Community Service Board. "I appointed her to a board position on our Community Service Board, which is an independent board that serves us a great deal in the mental health arena," said Clayton County Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell. Bell said the Community Service Board's chairperson, Dianne Jennings, resigned from the board earlier in the day, creating the vacancy. "I think she [Davis] is thoroughly qualified," said Bell. "She expressed a desire to serve there, and I eagerly appointed her to that board. It's very meaningful to us in the county, and she comes at a time when we need some new-age thinking in that area," he said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Jonathon Niese stayed warm, and the surprising New York Mets cooled off Philadelphia.
Niese pitched seven steady innings on a rainy Tuesday night and Daniel Murphy had three hits to lead New York to a 6-1 victory over the Phillies.
Ruben Tejada doubled and had two RBIs for the Mets, who chased Cole Hamels in the fifth and have won seven of nine. They improved to 15-11 overall, marking the first time New York has been four games over .500 since July 14, 2012.
"Conditions are really tough and Jon just keeps cruising along," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "You have to be pretty impressed with the way he's going about it. He used all of his pitches. It seemed like he had good command of his curveball even though it was wet. ... He went out and pitched another great game."
Marlon Byrd homered and Ryan Howard had two hits with a double for Philadelphia, which lost for only the third time in nine games.
The start was delayed by rain for 1 hour, 28 minutes, and the temperature at first pitch was a chilly 46 degrees. Many in the announced crowd of 28,189 who braved the cold were dressed more appropriately for a Philadelphia Eagles football game in December, with hooded sweat shirts, winter coats and wool blankets.
There was a misty rain for the first 2 1/2 innings before heavy rain began to fall in the bottom of the third. The rain tapered off to a drizzle before becoming heavy again in the seventh.
The weather hardly affected Niese (2-2), who didn't allow a hit until Byrd's two-out homer in the fourth. The left-hander gave up four hits while striking out five and walking one.
"It was another cold one," Niese said, "but it seems like the more I pitch in cold weather, the more I figure out how to stay warm."
Niese sat near a heater in the Mets' dugout and kept his hands in his jacket pockets, which contained hand warmers. While on the mound, Niese said he made sure to move around constantly rather than stand still.
"I was able to effectively throw my pitches," he said.
Said Murphy, "He threw the ball great. It was a treat to watch from second base."
Hamels (0-2) struggled in his first home start of the season, allowing six runs on eight hits with five walks and a hit batter in 4 2-3 innings. Seeking his 100th career victory, Hamels lost the strike zone in the fourth when he walked four batters, including Niese with the bases loaded, as the Mets took a 3-0 lead.
Hamels was making his second start of the season after opening on the disabled list due to left biceps tendinitis. The lefty's ERA rose to 6.75 as he dropped to 2-8 in his last 10 home starts against the Mets.
Murphy had a two-out RBI single in the third, and Josh Satin singled home a run in the fourth.
"I've never seen Cole be that erratic, and I'm sure a lot of that was the conditions," Collins said. "It's early in the year and he missed a lot of spring training. He'll be fine, I'm sure."
Hamels said the conditions made it difficult to pitch but blamed himself for not being able to adjust better.
"The elements got the best of me today," he said. "From my standpoint, I'm truly embarrassed because I didn't really give anyone a chance."
Hamels said a lack of perspiration made gripping the ball difficult.
"When you're able to perspire, you're able to get certain types of grips with the baseball," he said, before joking: "Today might have been the day to use pine tar, but unfortunately I don't do that. It might have been the day to learn. It was difficult to throw the baseball and difficult to throw strikes. You have to be able to battle out there, and I wasn't able to do it."
Byrd's homer pulled the Phillies to 3-1, but New York chased Hamels when it got an RBI double from Chris Young and a two-run single from Tejeda to make it 6-1 in the fifth.
NOTES: Mets starters have given up more than three runs once in the last 13 games. ... Murphy extended his hitting streak to 10 games. ... Mets RHP Bartolo Colon (2-3, 4.50 ERA) is scheduled to face RHP Kyle Kendrick (0-2, 3.52) in the conclusion of the two-game series Wednesday night. ... During the rain delay, the Phillies showed Game 6 of the NHL playoff series between the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers on the scoreboard and rang the bell in center field traditionally rung for home runs when Wayne Simmonds scored a first-period goal to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead.
CINCINNATI -- Billy Hamilton hit his first career homer and Chris Heisey singled home the tiebreaking run in the sixth inning, sending Cincinnati past Chicago in a game delayed three times because of rain.
The game started 19 minutes late. There was a 15-minute delay in the top of the fifth and a 71-minute delay in the bottom of the sixth.
Hamilton's solo shot off Jeff Samardzija (0-3) tied it in the fifth. Zack Cozart tripled with two outs in the sixth, and Heisey's pinch-hit single put the Reds ahead as heavy rain started to fall.
Alfredo Simon (4-1) gave up five hits, including Starlin Castro's two-run single. Jonathan Broxton retired all three batters in the ninth for his fifth save in five chances.
The Cubs have lost five of six, falling to 8-17. Chicago manager Rick Renteria was ejected for arguing balls and strikes in the sixth.
ST. LOUIS -- Lyle Overbay singled in Khris Davis with the tiebreaking run and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals in extra innings for the second straight night, winning 5-4 in 11 innings.
Davis hit a go-ahead triple to help the Brewers win 5-3 in 12 innings Monday and started the winning rally this time with a leadoff double against Kevin Siegrist (0-1). Milwaukee is a major league-best 20-7, two more victories than the previous franchise best for the opening month, and 11-1 on the road.
Carlos Gomez homered and pitcher Kyle Lohse had a two-run single for the Brewers, who have won five of six. Tyler Thornburg (3-0) struck out four in two scoreless innings and Francisco Rodriguez finished for his 13th save in 13 chances.
Yadier Molina hit a three-run homer in the first and Allen Craig's RBI triple tied it in the seventh for the Cardinals, who have lost three of four.
The Brewers, missing four starters, improved to 4-1 in extra innings. The Cardinals are 0-3.
MIAMI -- Jose Fernandez allowed two hits in eight stellar innings, Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run homer and Miami opened a homestand by routing Atlanta.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia also homered. Second baseman Ed Lucas had three hits in his season debut after recovering from a broken left hand, and Marcell Ozuna hit a two-run single for the Marlins.
Fernandez (4-1) was dominant against the NL East leaders again, lowering his ERA to 1.59. He struck out eight and walked two.
Braves starter Alex Wood (2-4) allowed seven runs and 10 hits in five-plus innings.
Fernandez beat Wood 1-0 last Tuesday when the two pitchers combined for 25 strikeouts and no walks.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Angel Pagan hit a leadoff homer, Buster Posey connected two batters later and Yusmeiro Petit went six innings in a spot start for injured Matt Cain as San Francisco beat San Diego.
Cain was scratched after cutting the tip of his right index finger. Giants manager Bruce Bochy said before the game that Cain was in the clubhouse kitchen and had a knife in his hand when the utensil dropped. Cain tried to catch it and cut his finger about a half-inch. He is expected to make his next start.
Petit (2-1) didn't allow a hit until Everth Cabrera's leadoff single in the fourth. Jean Machi and Santiago Casilla finished the three-hitter.
Hector Sanchez hit a two-run single and a sacrifice fly. Pagan and Posey homered off Eric Stults (1-3), who gave up five runs and seven hits in 2 2/3 innings.
PHOENIX -- Drew Stubbs hit his first home run of the season, off closer Addison Reed in the ninth inning, to lift Colorado over Arizona.
Troy Tulowitzki had his second big game in a row in Arizona, hitting a two-run homer to put the Rockies up 4-3 in the sixth. A.J. Pollock tied it with a two-out home run in the eighth.
Stubbs, who entered in a double switch in the eighth, hit a 2-2 pitch from Reed (0-2) into the right field seats, his first homer in 43 at-bats this year.
Boone Logan (1-0) gave up Pollock's homer but got the victory. LaTroy Hawkins allowed two hits in a scoreless ninth for his ninth save.
The Diamondbacks dropped their fourth straight, all at home, to fall to 2-13 at Chase Field this season.
Colorado starter Tyler Chatwood left in the sixth with tightness in his right elbow. Nolan Arenado had an RBI single to extend his hitting streak to 19 games, longest in the majors this season.
HOUSTON -- Adam LaRoche hit a tying double in the eighth inning and a go-ahead single in the ninth to lift Washington over Houston.
Jayson Werth homered as the Nationals won the opener of the interleague series.
Patrick Henry grad Marc Krauss was 0-for-1 on the day for the Astros.
Denard Span drew a leadoff walk in the ninth, stole second base and advanced to third on a groundout. He scored on LaRoche's hit to right field off Josh Fields (0-3).
Tyler Clippard (2-2) pitched a scoreless eighth for the win. Rafael Soriano walked two in a scoreless ninth for his fifth save.
CHICAGO -- Bryan Holaday saw an opening and took advantage.
Holaday drove in Austin Jackson with a two-out bunt single in the ninth, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.
Holaday said he focused on White Sox third baseman Marcus Semien before going for the bunt hit against Ronald Belisario.
"I noticed he was staring in and then he backed up and I thought I had a good chance to lay it down," the catcher said.
Jackson bolted for home while Holaday beat the throw to first. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said he was calling for the bunt, but he wasn't sure if the message ever got to Holaday.
"I don't know if he heard us or saw it on his own and took advantage," Ausmus said.
"(Holaday) is not a speed merchant but he's not slow. . He's got the ability to beat it out."
Jackson started the winning rally when he reached third on a one-out error by right fielder Dayan Viciedo. Belisario (1-3) pitched two innings, allowing one hit and striking out three.
Holaday, a late lineup addition, went 2 for 4.
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Derek Norris drove in three runs with a pair of doubles, Scott Kazmir outpitched Martin Perez and the Oakland Athletics beat the Texas Rangers, 9-3.
The A's went ahead to stay on Norris' two-run double in the first off Perez (4-1), who had pitched 26 consecutive scoreless innings over his previous three starts.
The left-hander had thrown three-hit shutouts his last two games, including at Oakland six days earlier.
Kazmir (4-0) tied for the AL lead in wins. He needed 95 pitches to get through five innings, but left with a 9-3 lead. The lefty struck out four and walked one.
When Norris added an RBI double to make it 4-0 in the third, the A's already had six hits off Perez, who started the night with an AL-best 1.42 ERA.
NEW YORK -- Robinson Cano drove in a run and scored another in a most unwelcome return to Yankee Stadium, helping Seattle beat New York for its fourth win in five games.
Amid lusty boos from a modest crowd on a rainy, 46-degree night, Cano began his first game in the Bronx since joining Seattle this winter for $240 million with a wink -- at Yankees starter CC Sabathia (3-3).
Cano got a mock cheer when he struck out to end the inning, then was met with chants of "You sold out!" from the Bleacher Creatures when he took his spot at second base.
When Cano grounded out to first base in the fourth, first baseman Mark Teixeira gave him a smile after the close play. The five-time All-Star was even booed when he cleanly handled a grounder.
Chris Young (1-0) gave up a second-inning homer to Teixeira and not much else in 5 2/3 innings to earn his first win since 2012. Mike Zunino had a career-high four hits, one courtesy of a replay review that sparked a four-run fifth inning.
BOSTON -- Shane Victorino had four hits and his first two RBIs of the season, John Lackey pitched eight strong innings and Boston beat slumping Tampa Bay.
Victorino, activated from the disabled list last week after missing the first 22 games with a hamstring injury, finished 4 for 4 to hike his batting average from .133 to .316. He singled in his first two at-bats, hit a sacrifice fly in the fifth and added an RBI double during Boston's five-run sixth.
Lackey (4-2) scattered six hits and allowed two runs, striking out five and walking one. After the Rays scored twice in the ninth, Koji Uehara came in and struck out Ben Zobrist on three pitches for his sixth save.
Jackie Bradley Jr. had a pair of doubles and two RBIs as the Red Sox won for the third time in four games.
The Rays lost for the seventh time in eight road games and are 4-9 away from home.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Salvador Perez homered and drove in four runs, helping Kansas City rally to defeat Toronto.
Perez's two-run double off Sergio Santos in the Royals' six-run eighth put the Royals ahead. Perez's four RBIs matched his career high.
The Royals sent 10 men to the plate in the eighth, which also included Omar Infante driving in two runs, while Nori Aoki and Jarrod Dyson added RBI singles.
Perez, who has three consecutive multi-hit games, homered in the seventh with Alex Gordon aboard to trim Toronto's lead to 5-4.
Aaron Crow (1-1), the third of four Royals pitchers, picked up the victory with a scoreless eighth inning and has not allowed an earned run and only five hits in nine innings this season.
Brett Cecil (0-2) took the loss, retiring only two of the five batters he faced.

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.

Rangers got over their Old Firm derby defeat disappointment with a 3-0 win over Motherwell at Ibrox to remain two points behind Celtic, who beat Dunfermline 3-0 today, at the top of the Scottish Premier League.
In a rare start, David Healy fired Rangers into a first-half lead before Sone Aluko netted his first goal for the club ten minutes after the break. Stephen Craigan then turned Lee Wallace's shot into his own net in the 73rd minute to round off a comprehensive victory against third-placed Motherwell.
Rangers made three changes to the side that lost the Old Firm derby with Dorin Goian returning from suspension and Healy brought in for the injured Nikica Jelavic. The Northern Ireland striker nearly made an instant impact when goalkeeper Darren Randolph got out to bock his early close-range shot before Rangers were dealt a blow in the ninth minute when Kyle Lafferty appear to pull his hamstring and had to be replaced with John Fleck.
Randolph was then equal to a curling free-kick from Steven Davis on the half-hour mark before Healy's downward header from a Sasa Papac cross bounced over the bar. Healy looked to be in on goal after beating Tim Clancy to a challenge just inside the Motherwell half, but Randolph raced out his goal to clear the danger.
However, the Northern Irishman wasn't to be denied in the 36th minute when he fired Rangers into the lead. Aluko rode a challenge wide on the right before picking out Healy in the six-yard box, who took a touch before sending a low-angled shot into the bottom corner of the net.
The goal seemed to spur Motherwell into action and they came close to an equaliser when Michael Higdon connected with Steven Hammell's cross at the back post but sent his first time effort just over.
Randolph did well to stop Lee Wallace's volley before Carlos Bocanegra saw his header blocked on the line as Rangers emerged from the interval hungry to add to their lead. A goal was not long in coming, though, with Aluko slotting home a left-footed shot low past Randolph from the edge of the box in the 55th minute after Healy teed him up following a good passing move.
The keeper then made a great save to stop a fierce strike from Davis before Rangers extended their lead in the 73rd minute. Randolph saved Aluko's initial shot but couldn't do anything as Craigan turned Wallace's follow-up effort into his own net.
However, the Gers still trail rivals Celtic after goals from Anthony Stokes, Victor Wanyama and Charlie Mulgrew sealed a 3-0 win for the Hoops away to Dunfermline.
Elsewhere, two goals in the last ten minutes handed Hearts a 3-1 win in the Edinburgh derby against Hibernian at Easter Road. After a goalless first half Ryan McGowan headed Hearts into a 58th minute lead, but Hibs were almost immediately back on level terms when Marius Zaliuskas turned Danny Galbraith's cross into his own net.
However, strikes from Andy Webster and substitute Rudi Skacel in the final minutes means Hearts move up to fourth spot and leaves Hibs languishing a point above the relegation spot.
Aberdeen came from behind to defeat Dundee United 2-1 and Kilmarnock scored late to record a 2-1 win over St Mirren.

30 of the world's best golfers will descend on the Gary Player Golf Course for this year's Nedbank Golf Challenge!
Get Sport24 on your mobile
Antigua and Barbuda - Ottis Gibson dashed English county champions Warwickshire's hopes of hiring him on Tuesday as he signed a new contract with the West Indies.
The 43-year-old - who is presently in Australia with the team - signed a three year contract which will run till 2016.
Gibson has served in the position for the past three years, from January 2010.
"Ottis has added significant value to the development of the West Indies Team during his tenure and we are delighted to have secured his services for another three years," WICB Chief Executive Officer Michael Muirhead said.
"Most notably is that he led the implementation of a system of professionalism within the team unit and curbed the negative results which we were experiencing with some frequency.
"There have also been clear successes under his stewardship from 2010 to date. These include, most notably, having coached the team to the World Twenty20 title, the team showing consistent improvements in the other formats, the reintegration of players into the team unit and the achievement of the set goals as outlined in the WICB Strategic Plan 2011 - 2016."
Muirhead added that whilst his tenure had not been without its problems they were part and parcel of the job.
"While there have also been some challenges along the way, these are not to be unexpected in such a dynamic and high pressure environment and the WICB looks forward to the continued development of the West Indies team through this next critical phase under Ottis' stewardship at the elite team level," Muirhead said.
Gibson, a pace bowler who played two tests and 15 one day internationals, said he was delighted to have been signed up for a new term.
"There is a lot to do and things to look forward to. There is the Champions Trophy in England this year, we will be defending the World T20 title in Bangladesh next year and there is the World Cup in 2015.
"These are things we have talked about and these are things the selectors have been planning for," added Gibson.

Message from the City Librarian: Library's Customer Base is Far from Eroding
As you can imagine, I have a very strong opinion about this. Libraries have been adapting to the world around them for the past century, and the surge of the digital age is no different. Libraries provide essential services to the public such as computer access and training, job-search assistance, literacy programs, and access to thousands of print and digital materials. They serve as the cornerstone of their community and are a key link in developing a knowledgeable, productive workforce and fostering economic development.
The increase in the use of eBooks does not mean that the library's customer base is eroding, as Carroll's article suggests. It means that libraries must offer this popular format in addition to the physical books which many are still using, and adapt to the changing needs of the public as they have for decades.
In 2010, the Denver Public Library welcomed over 4 million visitors, circulated 9 million items, and had 40 million online transactions -- hardly a sign of becoming obsolete. In fact, libraries across the country are seeing an increase in usage, not a decrease, especially in times of recession. According to a study by the American Library Association, over two thirds of Americans have a library card and visit a library 1.4 billion times a year. Every day, 300,000 Americans seek job-related help at a public library. It's quite evident that libraries are not just places to hold books.
There has been an age-old debate over what the library of the future looks like. As long as there is a need for free and equal access to information – libraries will be around and will continue to adapt to the needs of the public.
In 1889, John Cotton Dana, DPL's first city librarian, had the vision of making the Library "a center of public happiness." He was a pioneer – bringing resources and services to the people. His main objective was to make the library relevant to the daily lives of the citizens, an objective that is still at the core of the Library's mission.
But to prepare for the future needs of our community, the Denver Public Library must address a fundamental challenge in how it is funded. The Library, funded by the City of Denver's General Fund has undergone major budget cuts for the past several years. This has led to drastic reductions in service hours, staff levels and purchase of new materials. With the impending cuts to the 2012 budget, our world-class library is in serious jeopardy.
The Denver Public Library is at a crossroads. We cannot continue to be at the mercy of the unpredictable ups and downs of the City's budget. We need a long-term sustainable funding solution. Forming a library district has been viewed by communities across the state as the best form of governance for delivering consistently high-quality library service. A modest mill levy increase (about $56 per year on a $200,000 home) would make a tremendous difference in how we can provide service. All library locations would be open at least 40 hours per week, instead of the current 32. We would be able to provide the materials, technology and programs that our customers want and need. Most importantly, we'd be able to plan for our future without the constant threat of unknown budget cuts from year to year.
For more information about DPL's budget situation and library districts visit: denverlibrary.org/budget
Rest assured, we do understand your concern over how we maintain the Library's collection. We don't take these decisions lightly. We use our Collection Development Policy as a guide as we strive to maintain a collection that is relevant and well used by our customers. In part, the policy states "The Library's collection is a living, changing entity. As items are added, others are reviewed for their ongoing value and may be withdrawn from the collection." Libraries everywhere struggle with defining the scope of what they collect and keeping their collections current and relevant, while still providing access to more specialized content. Because of changes in our budget and the community over the years, we stopped collecting items in Italian (as well as several other languages) years ago. Rather than maintain a static collection that was not well used, a decision was made to withdraw the items. One of the ways we can continue to provide access to this type of content is with our Interlibrary Loan service. We use this service to share resources with libraries around the state and the country whose collections may have a different scope than ours.
I LOVE the library
I would support the proposed library district idea and would certainly vote for it if it were on the ballot. Will it be on the ballot this November?
It is too soon for us to know if the library district will be on the November 2011 ballot, as this is something the new Mayor and City Council will need to decide. We do however appreciate your support and will keep the public posted as this issue develops.

Comments about glo Professional Protecting Powder:
This product is great in concept, but falls short in the execution. First the good: powder itself is stellar! I love the Translucent for my fair skin and sunscreen for the same reason. Not cakey. Looks moist and dewy used alone or over other foundation products.
Now the evil, dark side of this product...it is frustration in a bottle. The brush is pure garbage. It even has a foul odor. From the first time to the last, the black brush left hundreds of long black bristles/hairs and minuscule bits of hairs all over my face. It looks like shaving remnants from a hairy beast every time I use it. It is nearly impossible to remove them without wiping off my face! My co-workers were having to tell me I had ""an eyelash"" on my cheek/nose/chin.
Additionally, there are NO directions on how to best use the product's automatic dispenser. I called the company and was on hold forever while the customer service consultant went to ask. She wasn't sure and thought it just came out when you brushed it on your face, but someone else was going to talk to someone else and at that, I just hung up. She was nice enough, but I don't need to waste time on a phone call.
Now, I unscrew the brush/lid mechanism from the base and use a different brush to apply this. That is when I realized how VERY LITTLE product is in this container. $40 is NOT a good price point for the value.
My suggestion for improvement? First of all, change the Glo review criteria. Value/Price are too closely related to warrant 2 out of 3 buttons on a review. Quality is not explicit enough...product? delivery system? packaging? container?
The POWDER is exquisite, but overpriced. The BRUSH is a waste. Please put this product in a powder jar, like your other products and ditch the inferior brush.
I won't buy this again.
Comments about glo Professional Protecting Powder:
I love the product but the powder DOES NOT dispense into the brush as it should. It would be a great concept if it worked! Glo please fix this!!!
Comments about glo Professional Protecting Powder:
I would love to rate the actual product- if I could get it to come out of the brush! All I get are broken off black brush hairs across my face. The ""theory"" of this application is great. But the reality is that unless I break open this thing, I'll never get to the product. If your going to make it this complicated at least put instructions on the box. All my $40 bought me was aggravation.
Comments about glo Professional Protecting Powder:
I have this in the Bronze! I think the whole idea is great, but I don't feel like it comes down into the brush like it should. I even tilt my head backwards and see if will flow in that position. I've tapped it, shaken it and I still don't think it works like it should. Again, I love the idea and would buy all of my powders like this if they worked.
I'm open for suggestion: email@example.com if you've got an idea how this works the best. I've almost sent it back for the above reason. I don't want to have to take the lid off as another reviewer stated because that defeats the purpose and I could have used one of my other powders and not gotten this.
PLEASE GLO....TELL ME HOW THIS WILL WORK BEST, OR MAYBE I NEED A NEW ONE! Jo
Comments about glo Professional Protecting Powder:
I absolutely LOVE this sun-screen powder. It goes on so smoothly and gives my skin a beautiful finished look and protects from the sun. It works, too! It will sweat off, but still looks fresh when re-applied. I have olive skin and the bronze is a little too dark for all over my face, and the translucent is a little light, so I bought both and mix them together for a personalized color match. The powder does't come down onto the brush as much as I would like, so I unscrew the lid and apply with my own make-up brush... PERFECTION! LOVE IT!

We strive to be a nondenominational group of Christians, seeking to be Christians only. We believe that the Bible is God's inspired and flawless word, and that Jesus is the Christ and the only way to God. We are grace oriented and focused on ministry to our fellow man.
On occasion, we have been accused of being one of the friendliest groups in the area. However, when visiting, we won't put you on the spot, or ask you to sign,sing, say anything, and (as it is in our own homes) -- we would never ask a guest to contribute financially. From the moment you arrive in our assembly, we want you to know you are our honored guest.
You can expect our Sunday morning assemblies to be a time focused on encountering the presence of God. We endeavor to create an atmosphere where very diverse people,struggling on the same journey, can come together in praise and worship and find help and hope to carry on.
Anyone who has ever worked with us at the Children's Home knows "the football guy". Well, on January 17, as the kitchen team was cleaning up and the ministry team was out singing and teaching the kids, the "football guy" came into the kitchen. His first words spoke volumes: "has Tim already left?" I informed him that Tim had already gone. Tim is a bit of a magician. I have worked with Tim for probably fifteen years and watched his quiet, unassuming ministry. He quietly works just outside of the spotlight, and just before the spotlight comes on, he vanishes. The "football guy" simply said that they wanted us out at the area where we do our skits and songs. He said: "we have something to give you." And, indeed they did. With very little fanfare, the staff expressed their appreciation for all that the BHC does for them and then presented 'C-Cubed' (Carter, Chase, and Caleb) with a beautiful plaque thanking us for the work we do with the kids. I wish I had a camera, but before I could even think about it, the moment was gone. That said, here is a picture of the plaque itself. A video of the BHC's December ministry time is also included below.

It's good to see more people coming out and saying what they liked, here. When I first joined this forum, it looked like every second topic in the Movies forum was aimed at bashing Nemesis. Personally, I like the film a lot. I don't love it, but I do like it a lot. I think a lot of the hate aimed at it may be because it performed so badly, and seemed to spell the end for Trek at the movies.
I think that was part of it. It was lukewarm and bad reviews mixed with despair, and I think it created a potent backlash against Rick Berman/Brannon Braga/Paramount in general. Now, I do believe Stuart Baird deserves a lot of the crap thrown at him, because I think he did a terrible job in fleshing out the movie. Some of the best scenes were cut, the story is just told in as pedestrian a manner as possible, and it is known that he, quite frankly, didn't care about the movie itself, and when you as the Director lack passion, the movie will lack it.
