Moeller baseball coach Tim Held has been hearing the rumblings from outsiders that this year's team isn't quite as powerful or potent as other teams in recent history. Saturday night in the Region 4 finals the Crusaders proved that they've still got it as they pounded out 10 hits and were benefited by two errors to win 4-3 over the Comets in a wild game at Marge Schott Stadium.
For the second straight night, junior Joe Vranesic came through in the clutch for the Crusaders and sparked the offense. After blasting a two RBI double in Friday night's regional semifinals win over Beavercreek, Vranesic came through with a single to left to break a scoreless tie in the top of the fourth inning Friday night against Mason, got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the top of the ninth to bring home the game winning run and picked up the save on the mound with a spotless ninth to make the lead stand-up, as Moeller captured its third straight regional title and 11th in school history.
"With this group it has been different. Everybody is expecting us to score 10 runs," Held said. "We didn't have some opponents this year where we would score a lot. We played the GCL-South teams three more times. People are looking at our numbers and saying that we're not the same old Moeller, but I think banging out 10 hits against those three pitchers proves that it's all there. We get one more hit and we've got five, six or seven runs. We were that close to putting a bunch up."
Mason threw Chris Martin, a Kent State commit, for the first 3 2/3 innings, Andy Marzheuser, a junior getting Division I looks, for 2 1/3, and Rodney Hutchison, a North Carolina recruit, for 3 innings.
Moeller led from the fourth inning until the bottom of the seventh when Mason was down to its final three outs. A costly error by the Crusaders allowed the game to continue. With runners on second and third after back-to-back two-out singles by Chris Martin and TJ Dunn, Andy Marzheuser's groundball was booted and rolled into the outfield, allowing both runners to score and tie the game. Hutchison nearly brought home the game-winning run with a single to left field, but a nice throw and tag from leftfielder Kyle Butz to catcher Bailey Montoya sent the game into extra innings.
After a scoreless eighth, second baseman Josh Hollander started the ninth by reaching on an error, and then Zach Logue walked. A sacrifice bunt by Bryan Soth moved them both over and then Butz was walked to load the bases for Vranesic. Mason pitcher Rodney Hutchison, who picked up the win in Friday night's game against Troy in a complete game effort, hit him to bring in the go-ahead run.
Vranesic, who is second on the team in RBI for the season, said he felt that the team needed a pick-me-up and he was happy to be able to come through a few different times this weekend to give his teammates that lift.
"It's not usually not my role to get the guys going and focused, but the last two games I felt like we needed something, especially last night because that was a huge double," said Vranesic. "It's nice to be that kid on that team who can come up with the big hit."
For the first three innings, both starters, Martin for Mason and Nick Voss for Moeller, spent their time dodging trouble.
Moeller nearly pushed a run across in the first when leadoff batter Riley Mahan singled and then moved around to third with two outs, but a nice defensive play by Mason shortstop Connor Bryan, who ranged behind the bag to make the scoop and then fired a rope to first, got the Comets out of the inning.
Voss had to get out of his own trouble in the bottom of the first inning when he hit the leadoff batter, Bryan, and an out later centerfielder TJ Dunn singled into left field. He buckled down and got a strikeout and an infield pop-up from Mason's four- and five-hole hitters to put out the threat.
Bryan helped Mason dodge another bullet in the top of the third. After leadoff batter Cole Proia reached on a walk and moved up to second on a sacrifice bunt by catcher Bailey Montoya and third on a wild pitch, Bryan cut him down at home with a nice charging scoop and throw to catcher Joey Thomas, who applied the tag.
The top of the fourth inning, the first where either team got the leadoff batter out, proved to be problematic for the Comets. Bryan Soth had a one-out single up the middle to start the rally, and then Butz followed with a single into left field. That brought Vranesic to the plate. His second big RBI hit to left field in as many nights broke the scoreless tie. The Crusaders scored a second run in the inning when the Comets tried to turn a double play on Joey Ludwig's groundball. The throw to first bounced away allowing Butz to score from third to make it 2-0.
Tyler Krabbe answered for Mason in the bottom half of the inning when he drove Voss' 3-0 pitch over the left field wall to halve the Crusaders' lead.
Moeller added what proved to be an important insurance run in the sixth. Soth reached on a leadoff single, advanced to second on a bunt single by Butz and came home on a two-out RBI single up the middle by Proia to make it 3-1. That set the stage for Mason's dramatic seventh inning comeback.
Moeller will face Massillon Jackson on Friday at 1 pm at Huntington Park in Columbus. Even though it's the Crusaders' third straight trip to the final four, Vranesic said the team doesn't take winning a regional title for granted.
"We just take it one game at a time," said Vranesic. "Each game it's our goal to win. We don't look too far into the future, so we'll definitely celebrate this one tonight."
WP:Bennett (4-2). LP: Hutchison (8-3). S: Vranesic (3). HITTING LEADERS: MOE-Soth 2-4; Butz 2-3,
Proia 2-4, 2 RBI. MAS-Dunn 2-4. Records: MOE 25-4, MAS 25-6.

Tried to tighten again and STRIPPED all teeth of inner lockring. I'd like to remove bottom bracket and replace, would like to replace with compact (non Campy) so my concern is removal, not necessarily saving.
1) Don't have blow-tourch would this work should I bring to shop?
2) If I remove crank witll other side loosen for removal?

Buffalo Gazes Back To a Time When Fortune Shone; Much-Maligned City Celebrates The Glory of a Century Ago
By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD
Published: September 7, 2001
BUFFALO— It is hard for outsiders to imagine that before the steel mills died, the young people fled and the Bills choked, Buffalo was unbowed and proud.
This, after all, was once the eighth largest city in America and one of its most prosperous, with mansions and parks designed by the best architects in the country. Its geography, on Lake Erie, and its crisscross railroad lines made it a pivotal hub for moving goods from the Midwest to the East.
Its political influence was strong enough that two sons went to the White House: Grover Cleveland (1885-89, 1893-97) and Millard Fillmore (1850-53).
Now, in a spate of nostalgia that has become something of a civic obsession, Buffalo is awash in a series of conferences, lectures, books and exhibits, harking back to what has become in civic mythology the moment when Buffalo's long slide began -- the assassination of President William McKinley a century ago at the world's fair that was supposed to immortalize Buffalo's status as one of the nation's great cities.
On the centennial of the Pan-American Exposition, held from May to November 1901, the city is collectively rummaging through its past, at once recalling its glory, and asking if it could ever come back. And with both a scholarly and a somewhat jocular eye, people here are exploring the legacy of moment when, the myth goes, Buffalo began its slide from the nation's 8th largest city to its 59th and from a boomtown to a symbol of rust belt decay.
''There is a strong nostalgia for the past here, of the heydays of the 20's to 50's when Buffalo was a very wealthy and prosperous city,'' said Robert B. Skerker, the chairman of the Erie County Cultural Resources Advisory Board who has promoted commemoration of the centennial. ''There is a longing to turn the clock back and see what can be learned.''
At the heart of the nostalgia is what some call the McKinley Curse, the aftermath of the assassination of President McKinley on Sept. 6, 1901, at the hands of an anarchist, Leon Czolgosz (pronounced CHOAL-gosh), railing against imperialism. Mr. McKinley had come here to visit the exposition, which was showcasing a relatively new technology, the electric light, and promoting America as the leader of the Western Hemisphere.
Of course, the city's prosperity did not immediately come to a halt with the assassination. Its population peaked in 1950 at 580,000, about twice what it is now. But the ''Pan Am'' or ''Pan,'' as it is commonly known, is something of a fixation here, where nostalgia runs deep and the city's long economic slide is burned into the civic psyche.
So the observances are now being held all around town, including one at the historical society -- housed in the only remaining building from the expo -- that is setting attendance records.
A group in town, the Pan-American Collector's Society, numbering about 70 people, has filled a gallery at the State University at Buffalo with a display of tickets, trinkets, souvenir glassware and other exposition keepsakes passed down from generation to generation, and now actively traded on Internet auction sites. The county bar association plans to re-enact the trial of McKinley's assassin.
One of the city's ubiquitous abandoned grain elevators, the legacy of its once dominant role in shipping goods from the Midwest, will be illuminated two nights a week through September with images from the expo. There has been a parade and dozens of seminars and readings, using the centennial as a theme for looking back and forward.
Whether because of McKinley or, perhaps more rationally, the late 20th-century collapse of the manufacturing industry that had been the city's backbone, hard luck has come in many forms.
With a 2000 population of 292,648, Buffalo now ranks No. 59 in population, behind places like Mesa City, Ariz., Arlington, Tex., and Fresno, Calif. There were snowstorms, including the infamous 1977 blizzard of 20-foot snowdrifts, that inspired a run of weather jokes by Johnny Carson, and, from 1991 to 1994, the beloved Buffalo Bills lost four straight Super Bowls.
''There are people who seriously believe if McKinley was not shot here, the Bills would have gone on to win four Super Bowls,'' said William Siener, the executive director of the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society.
Today, sometimes just the name of the city draws a smirk. How it got its name is much disputed, with some historians speculating that buffaloes may indeed have roamed here centuries ago or maybe the name came from a creek whose Indian name, beaver, was mistranslated, or maybe it was in honor of a solitary Indian who lived on that creek.
Whatever the case, Buffalo was not mocked 100 years ago. The exposition's ''Spanish renaissance revival'' buildings, festooned with 8-watt bulbs in what was then one of the most spectacular displays of decorative light ever seen, were torn down afterward, as planned; the site of the expo, formerly a farm, is now a neighborhood of broad streets and pleasant homes and includes the New York State Building, the only permanent structure and now home for the historical society.

UnitedHealth Group will pay a $1 million fine related to allegations that it violated restrictions placed on its 2008 acquisition of Sierra Health Services, the Nevada attorney general has announced.
Because of competitive concerns, UnitedHealth was permitted to acquire Las Vegas-based Sierra provided that it didn't acquire Fiserve Nevada, which administered the healthcare benefits of many Nevada firms.
However, that same year UnitedHealth acquired the parent company, Fiserve Health, including Fiserve Nevada and its third party administration business.
"UnitedHealth Group was permitted to acquire its local competitor Sierra," explained Catherine Cortez Masto, the state attorney general, in a press statement. "But the United/Sierra transaction was subject to many strict conditions. One condition was that United could not acquire another local company, Fiserv Nevada, given our competitive concerns in 2008.
The Nevada Attorney General required assurance that UnitedHealth Group would not acquire or merge with Fiserv Nevada, and placed additional restrictions on joint venture activity, which were reflected in the final approval of UnitedHealth's acquisition of the Sierra Health Services.
"Based on investigating United's compliance with this condition, we have concluded United failed to deliver on its promises to us regarding Fiserv Nevada," said Masto.
According to the Nevada attorneys general office on Friday, UnitedHealth Group engaged in the following conduct which allegedly violated the court-approved judgment of its acquisition of Sierra Health Services:

I have an idea for a simple program to make that will help me with operator precedence in languages like C. The most difficult part of this is parenthesizing the expression. For example, I want this:
*a.x++ = *b.x++
Converted to this:
((*(((a).(x))++)) = (*(((b).(x))++)))
Which I did manually in these steps:
*a.x++ = *b.x++
*(a).(x)++ = *(b).(x)++
*((a).(x))++ = *((b).(x))++
*(((a).(x))++) = *(((b).(x))++)
(*(((a).(x))++)) = (*(((b).(x))++))
((*(((a).(x))++)) = (*(((b).(x))++)))
What is the best way to accomplish this programmatically? Is there already a solution out there that I could use? I'd prefer to do this in either PHP, C, C++, Python, or Ruby.
(This isn't the whole idea of my program, it is only the first step.)

The Undercover Soundtrack – Davina Blake
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on February 4, 2015
'Music is the undertow to what I am writing'
Once a week I host a writer who uses music as part of their creative environment – perhaps to connect with a character, populate a mysterious place, or hold a moment still to explore its depths. This week's post is by wartime romance author Davina Blake (who also writes as Deborah Swift @swiftstory)
Soundtrack by Mary Chapin Carpenter, Lena Horne, Kate Bush, George Gershwin, Larry Adler, Alison Moyet, Purcell, Led Zeppelin, Rachmaninoff, Bob Dylan, Mark Knopfler
Music has always been the mirror of my moods, how I am feeling is externalized by the music I play, so it is fortunate that I have eclectic tastes. When writing I prefer silence, but as I type I am aware of the echo of the music from moments before; it still hums inside me, the undertow to what I am writing.
The edge of longing
I need to be able to access certain states in order to write well, and music helps me do this. What I was trying to capture in Past Encounters was a kind of longing – a longing that borders on nostalgia, but is not that sentimental. It is at the edge of things. We have no English word for it, but the German word is sehnsucht. For this novel I was looking for transparency and intimacy, to keep the words simple so you could almost see through them.
I remembered Mary Chapin Carpenter's John Doe #24 , which does just this, with its simple tune and narrative arc, telling the story of a blind, deaf and dumb man stripped of identity, the ultimate loss, yet still the character haunts us. In Past Encounters Peter becomes a prisoner of war, just a number, so I went back to the track and listened again. In the song, sensory detail becomes enormously important, his toes feeling the streetcar rails underfoot, the scent of jasmine.
Conjuring the past
In the novel both protagonists, Rhoda and her fiancé Peter, mourn the loss of their familiar life to the outbreak of war. I found myself listening to old recordings to conjure the atmosphere of the past. My mother used to love Lena Horne's The Man I Love (1941), and the crackling of the LP, the sudden silence when it ends, with just the needle bumping round on the record, seemed to say almost as much as the actual music. When I am working I use Youtube to plug myself into the mood of what I am writing, searching out tracks of the era I am working on. Kate Bush's recording of the same song with Larry Adler on harmonica really spoke to me. The wailing quality of the harmonica seemed to embody Rhoda's search for the man she loves, which is both Peter, who is missing, and the longing which is somehow not attached to any one man in particular. It is the same longing that makes me want to write, the stretching out towards a feeling I can't name.
The story is set in WWII, but it is not about heroes. Rhoda's fiancé Peter spends the whole war in a prisoner of war camp. But what drives the book is his intense friendships with the other men, and the fact that and he and Rhoda survive on memories of each other. Death stalks the captive prisoners and the music I listened to a lot during this phase of writing consisted of elegies to the dead. Alison Moyet's great natural voice singing Dido's Lament by Purcell strips away the artifice of opera to make us think nakedly about memory and how we will be remembered.
Gallows humour
Writing historical fiction is an awkward relationship between honouring and dishonouring our relationship with the past. Gallows humour is an essential part of survival, both for Peter in the book, and for me as a writer, and I loved the recycling of an old English folk tune in Gallows Pole by Led Zeppelin, especially the ultimate twist, when the hangman (death itself) is hanged on the gallows pole.
I like listening to the layers in music, and Gallows Pole is one piece that repays that sort of listening. That sudden mandolin! I like to pick out individual layers and will often listen over and over to the same piece, following different musical parts. I do this in the novel too; write following different narrative threads. In Past Encounters it is just two, Rhoda and Peter, in my other novels it has been more. When I edit, I do this too, follow different lines of the narrative.
Strangely, although Rhoda's story is set during the filming of Brief Encounter, I found the Rachmaninoff score too strident and brash for the subtle feeling I needed. The Rachmaninoff score is heavy on the piano. As Nick Cave says, 'The guitar is something you kind of embrace, and the piano is something you kind of – when you play it, you sort of push it away. It feels very different.'
So the intimacy and loss I was after is there in the guitar of Blind Willie McTell by Bob Dylan. It is a track that was never completed from his album Infidels, and is therefore more poignant because it was almost lost. It is raw and unproduced – you can almost hear a coat button scratching on the top of the guitar as he sings of the loss of not just one blues singer, but of the loss of a whole era of blues singers. Of course really it is Mark Knopfler on guitar, not Dylan, but the impression of one man and a guitar remains. Music is like writing, a world of mirrors and illusion.
Davina Blake also writes seventeenth century novels as Deborah Swift. She lives in the North of England in a small village close to the mountains and the sea, a fact which encourages her to go out and get the fresh air that every writer needs. Past Encounters is her fifth novel, but the first published as an independent author. Tweet her as @swiftstory. Find her on Facebook.
GIVEAWAY Davina is excited to be giving away three ebook copies of Past Encounters to commenters here. Extra entries if you share the post on Twitter, G+, Linked In, Tumblr, Facebook, Ello or anywhere else you frequent. Breathe on a bus window and write it inside a love-heart. Just remember to say in your comment here that you've done it!
The Undercover Soundtrack – Debbie Bennett
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on January 28, 2015
'A sequence of notes can transport you to a time and place'
Once a week I host a writer who uses music as part of their creative environment – perhaps to connect with a character, populate a mysterious place, or hold a moment still to explore its depths. This week's post is by crime and psychological thriller writer Debbie Bennett @debjbennett
Soundtrack by Alice Cooper, Soul Asylum, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, The Seekers
I always wanted to be musical. I'm sixties-born, but identify most with the 1980s – the era of the New Romantics and the beginnings of computer-generated music, but I always had the hidden desire to be a full-on rock chick with my AC-DC, Whitesnake and Rainbow albums! Yes – I did the whole biker-jacket and leather mini look too (see proof here!). I wanted to play music too, but we didn't have a piano and it took me four years of compulsory music lessons at school to realise I was never going to get past Chopsticks! My teenage daughter is a talented musician and singer, but I don't think the genes come down my side of the family.
So I turned my creative impulses to writing – firstly fantasy and more recently crime. My first crime novel was dark. Very dark. Part crime, part psychological thriller, we're dealing with street drugs and rent boys, but while there are police, the story is told from the point of view of the ordinary people involved. And music plays its part in setting mood and tone.
Fateful meeting
The hero in Hamelin's Child is Michael, who we follow through another two books – Paying the Piper and Calling the Tune. Michael goes clubbing to celebrate his seventeenth birthday and meets Eddie, after which life is never going to be the same again. Michael's journey from middle-class suburban naivety through heroin addiction and out the other side is Alice Cooper's I Never Cry, particularly when he's thinking about jumping off a motorway bridge.
They'd all done their best, in their own way, to help him forget the past and he couldn't blame them for not understanding that he didn't want to forget. He needed to remember. It was the only way he could make any sense out of it all.'
Sometimes it's not even the lyrics is it? It's the mood of the piece – the actual notes in a certain sequence that can instantly transport you to a certain place or time in your life. Or even just an emotion. Synaesthesia, they call it…
Out of control
Also in Hamelin's Child, we have street-kid Lee. He's Soul Asylum's Runaway Train or Bon Jovi's Someday I'll be Saturday Night. A life out of control on a one-way trip to self-destruction.
'He bought me comics,'
Lee says, referring to the best of his mother's boyfriends, the man who eventually decided he preferred son to mother, at which point Lee was out on the streets. Runaway Train came out in 1992 (or so my CD case tells me) and it was many, many years later when I found it on Youtube and saw for the first time that the accompanying video is all about missing kids. Strange but true.
In Paying the Piper, we first meet my bad-boy Lenny, who started out as a bit-player but I soon realised was way more involved than I'd first thought. Lenny is Skid Row's 18 And Life, albeit with a lot more money and a public school education. It's not until Calling the Tune that we learn of Lenny's real childhood and he becomes far more ambiguous and complex. Lenny's story continues into Rat's Tale and new release Ratline and his music becomes softer and more uncertain as we get inside his head. Now it's less rock and more Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (the Seekers version – way better than Bob Dylan, in my opinion).
I can't in all honesty say I listen to music while writing, because I find any noise hugely distracting when I'm working (although a playlist on my iPhone is a Godsend in an open-plan office in the day job). But I do find that music fits the mood of the moment when I'm writing and I'll subconsciously look for and play certain tracks – even if only in my mind.
Debbie Bennett claims to get her inspiration from the day job in law enforcement. She can't talk about a lot of the stuff she's seen and done over the years, but it stews and matures in her mind and often comes out in some twisted form in fiction many years later. She'd tell you more, but then she'd have to kill you afterwards. Her website is here and you can find her on Twitter as @debjbennett
The Undercover Soundtrack – Andrew Blackman

'George Winston's dreamy piano had to go'
Once a week I host a writer who uses music as part of their creative process – perhaps to tap into a character, populate a mysterious place, or explore the depths in a pivotal moment. This week's post is by award-winning literary fiction writer Andrew Blackman @BlackmanAndrew
Soundtrack by The Velvet Underground, Reef, Jimi Hendrix, burningpilot, Supergrass, Alien Ant Farm, Bob Dylan, Stereophonics, Pink Floyd
It was 1st November 2007, and I'd set myself a ridiculous challenge. By the end of the month, I would have written a novel, from start to finish. It would be a road novel for 21st-century Britain, a forlorn but determined attempt to live authentically and spontaneously in a highly controlled society. As I stared at the blank screen, planning things out and calculating just how many thousands of words I would need to write each day, I came to an important realisation.
Before I could begin typing, I would need new music.
Before then, you see, I'd been a devotee of calm, soothing, contemplative music. I'd always started my writing day by lighting an incense stick and playing George Winston. Beautiful, aren't they, those dreamy piano notes? A perfect soundtrack for a morning spent gazing at swirling incense smoke and waiting for inspiration. Unfortunately, not a good way to get a novel written in a month, certainly not a novel of frustrated youth raging against the stunted future mapped out for them. Poor George would have to go.
Enter The Velvet Underground and Heroin. Yes, I know, it starts out slow, but just listen to it ramp up around 1:20, and again at 2:22, and a few more times until, 6 minutes in, you can almost feel the spike in your vein. Suddenly some words appeared on the page:
I first met Neil not long after my father died.
Not much, but it was a start, and soon I was describing Neil, and the words started to flow, and I followed it up with Reef and Jimi Hendrix and burningpilot and Supergrass and I saw my characters, Jack and Neil, rampaging up and down the Holloway Road on a cold November night. I kept writing as they ran the life of drinking and parties swiftly to its conclusion, and after a week or so I was already five chapters in, and Jack and Neil had ditched London and made it to John O'Groats and were paddling in the freezing North Sea at three in the morning to the accompaniment of the suitably weird Alien Ant Farm.
By this time a change was called for, both for me and my characters. The frenetic pace couldn't last. I took to walking a few miles every morning, and completed the bulk of the book sitting in a now-defunct north London cafe all afternoon for a couple of weeks with the likes of Bob Dylan and Stereophonics on my iPod. The quieter mood suited my characters, who were getting worn down by their quest but kept going anyway, taking one more step, visiting one more town, drinking, like me and Dylan, just one more cup of coffee. They went forward not with the hopeful enthusiasm of earlier; they went forward simply because they couldn't go back.
For the ending I wanted something quiet and poignant, almost an anti-ending after all the noise and fury of earlier on. It was 30th November and I was tired, and so were Jack and Neil, and the three of us gritted our teeth and limped to the finish line with the dying chords of Wish You Were Here reverberating in our ears.
I took a week or two off from writing, printed off my manuscript and was amazed to discover it was ten times better than the novel I'd spent years working on before that. It would go on to win an award for unpublished writers, netting me £2,500 and a publishing deal, and my life would change.
Of course, that was still in the future. Before all that happened, I still had to edit the novel. That's where George Winston and the trusty old incense stick came in handy again.

1969 Pontiac GTO 400 V8 4 BBL Four-Speed
I thought you might like a look at this really slick 1969 Pontiac GTO. It was a nice day, so we even got it out for a little drive. It's powered by the original, numbers-matching, 400 V8. The engine was recently rebuilt and upgraded with forged pistons and a set of roller rockers. All that power is being sent through a Muncie four-speed, back to a 10 bolt rear with 3.55 gears and posi. This car underwent a complete, frame-off restoration and it shows. This thing is a real beauty from any angle. It's painted in Liberty Blue, it's riding on PMD rally wheels, and they've added the decal kit from "The Judge". I hope you find it interesting, thanks for taking a look!

70 Double Blown GTO
My 1970 GTO with two blowers. It's 474ci Pontiac engine with a 8-71 blower on top of a 6-71 blower. This is from the last day of being double blown. I'm going to one single 8-71 blower and going racing. The front clip was removed to make it easier to work on. The reason for the double blowers was not as a power enhancement like many ASSume. I stacked the blowers to have a car that stood out in the crowd. Most Pro Street cars were starting to blend together. If you seen one, you had seen them all. That wasn't the case with this GTO. Al someone had to say was "The double blower GTO" and people knew which car. I was told it couldn't be done, so I attempted it and it worked. It stayed that way for almost 2 years. I knew a twin turbo setup would make more HP. I knew I could have run a 14-71 blower and made more power. That wasn't the point. I wanted to be different than the other cars in the parking lot, I did that now it's time to ove on. For all those people who don't understand why, I'm not going to try and explain it to you anymore. Get over it. I didn't expect EVERYONE to love it. But you won't forget it.

Is Mindjack the future of games? Apparently so, according to producer Yoshinori Yamagishi, talking exclusively to Play.
"Games have evolved along two paths," Yamagishi explains. "One is the combination of story and playing, leading to the conventional campaign game. The other path is the fun of co-operating and competing against people, which has grown by setting up network environments and has led to current multiplayer games.
"The concept of clearing away the wall between single and multiplayer is a new experiment and idea for a shooter. As you guessed, this system allows the player to enjoy replaying Mindjack forever and we think that there may be many more games like this in future."

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Indiana created the most net new manufacturing jobs in July, adding 5,500 workers during the month. These gains came from both durable and nondurable goods sectors, with hiring up by 3,400 and 2,100, respectively. Other states with significant growth in manufacturing employment in manufacturing employment in July included Kentucky (up 5,000), California (up 4,600), Michigan (up 4,200) and Illinois (up 3,900).
Indiana has also generated the most employment gains year-to-date, with 13,900 additional manufacturing jobs added through the first seven months of 2014. Missouri (up 8,100), Texas (up 7,600), Ohio (up 7,600) and Michigan (up 6,800) have also added a sizable number of new manufacturing jobs so far this year. Michigan (up 111,000) continues the lead the list of the most net new manufacturing jobs added since the end of the recession.

What some of us -- well, anyway I do -- refer to as the Slobbification of America made a good showing the other day on the front page of The Wall Street Journal: the tale of a town talking up a ban on public profanity of the grosser sort. Which ban is up for consideration by the assembled citizenry of Middleborough, Mass. The local police chief, the Journal reported, wanted to fine anyone $20 who "accosts or addresses another person with profane or obscene language in a street."
I write before the actual vote. I think I know the outcome all the same: futility, of the constitutional or the cultural sort, likely both. The Journal quotes a retired policy officer -- and supporter of the chief's move -- as saying, "Back when I was younger you wouldn't think of saying foul language on the street, but now it's (bleep) you or stick it up your whatever. It's not unique to this town..."
"Back when I was younger... "! There's the damning -- er, the condemnatory -- detail. The retired cop, as the Journal reports, is my contemporary. He knows whereof he speaks. No, indeed, back when Ike and JFK were president, "you wouldn't think of saying" X, Y and Z. You "wouldn't think" of doing other things of, shall we say, an informal or relaxed nature, such as tattooing yourself going abroad in your underwear or suggesting, in preference to a first-date peck on the cheek, that we just get right down to it: all marks of the slobbery of our age.
"Men," noted Machiavelli, back in the early 16th century -- which was before even my time -- "ever praise the olden time and find fault with the present." Yes, and you may recall Paul Lynde crooning dejectedly in "Bye, Bye, Birdie:" "Why can't they be like we were -- perfect in every way?" He was referring to "Kids" -- the title and topic of the song. Duly appropriating this historical knowledge, shall we return to the Middleborough police chief's point -- to wit, there's maybe a limit, and if so, someone ought to signal and set it?
A couple of geezers like the chief and me are what you need to note, amid the cultural libertarianism of our time, that slobs and the slobbery they routinely commit against the public weal are disagreeable features of any landscape.
We're not supposed to be offended anymore, it would seem, by anything anybody else does. To take offense is to show inconsideration for others and their "rights." Nothing anyone does is supposed to matter to anyone else. It's all self-expression. Hey, man, we've got a right!

A Different Kind Of Post
December 16, 2011 in Editorial, Off-Topic, SaabsUnited Related, Uncategorized
I really didn't know what to call this post because it has nothing to do with what's going on with Saab right now, but it kind of has everything to do with Saab. Maybe Christmas is getting to me and I feel I have to share in a way that is a break from the normal of what we've been reading here. In any case, here it goes. Where do you see yourself in this thing called Saab? We call ourselves Saabs United and I would say that for the most part this is very true. Just as with any organization or group, you will from time to time have people that come into you group with the sole purpose to disrupt things and to try to get reactions from others. Since coming to Saab and getting to know people all over the world, there are a couple of things that stand out to me and set Saab apart from any other car company and Saabs United apart from most other sites.
First would be the word "United", the dictionary describes united as being made into or caused to act as a single entity. Better than that is this one, formed or produced by the uniting of things or persons. Do we always act as a united front? No, but I would have to say that even when we don't, we are still united by our passion for Saab to survive and our passion for the great cars and people that make Saab, Saab. Even when on occasion I have disagreed with people, it has opened the door for dialog when handled properly.

November 8 is the International Day of Radiology and this year, marking the 120th anniversary of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen's discovery of x-rays, it's going to be bigger and better than ever. This time the day is dedicated to paediatric imaging and the important role that radiology plays in the detection, diagnosis and management of a wide variety of diseases affecting children, and the special treatment younger patients need.
The initiative is therefore also supported by the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR), the Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR) and the World Federation of Pediatric Imaging (WFPI). All three of these organisations have organised or actively participated in various IDoR activities to help stress the importance of radiology in the management of paediatric diseases.
The involvement of the radiation protection campaigns EuroSafe Imaging and Image Gently reflects another key objective of the organisers, i.e. to raise awareness of the necessity of reducing radiation exposure in young patients.
A book on paediatric imaging has been produced, written by international experts in the field, giving readers an insight into the work of paediatric radiologists and the significance of the specialty. Click here to read this book and our other publications about radiology.
Last year more than 120 radiology-related professional societies from around the world celebrated the International Day of Radiology and this year we hope to see even more joining the initiative and bringing even more momentum to this already fast-growing movement. Participating societies will hold a range of different events to celebrate the day, which you will be able to find on the activities page. If you hear about any events taking place in your area to mark the occasion then please let us know at email@example.com
A big Thank You to Prof. Erich Sorantin from Graz, Austria, who initiated a Global Wave. See for yourself the numerous pictures of IDoR 2015 celebrations from all over the world!
The World Federation of Pediatric Imaging (WFPI) web team would like to announce the winners of the awards for the most liked videos and photo submitted for the WFPI's contest for IDoR 2015.
They are giving out two awards ($100 each) for the best videos – one for a submission by an attending radiologist and another by a trainee.
The award for the attending radiologist video with most likes (296 likes) goes to Prof. Erich Sorantin and his team at University Hospital Graz/Austria.
The award for the trainee video with most likes (205 likes) goes to Ray Somcio MD, Texas Children's Hospital, Texas, USA.
The award for the most liked photograph submitted for the WFP IDoR photo contest goes to Ronald Cohen from Oakland Children's Hospital for his photograph of his grandson, Ben, captioned It is never too early to start reading to your children!
Hooray for the x-ray …
If you've ever broken a bone, you've probably had an x-ray. If you've hurt a joint, there's a chance you've been examined with ultrasound. In fact, whether you've bumped your head, had sudden chest pains, or even discovered you were pregnant, if a doctor has ever wanted to know more about what's going on inside you, it's quite likely you've been referred to someone in the radiology department.
Radiologists are not the most visible members of the healthcare team, but they are the ones who, in many cases, provide the answers about your condition. Using images produced with a variety of techniques, they can tell the exact nature and location of your fracture, whether your head has sustained any serious damage, and whether your stomach pains are due to a swollen appendix or that key you swallowed yesterday.
Actually, the full scope of services offered by radiology (which is part of the wider field of 'medical imaging') is a lot broader than you might think, and goes much, much further than just diagnosis. So, to raise awareness of the many and varied roles of medical imaging in healthcare, we decided to celebrate!

The slow cooker is the ideal vessel for long, slow marinara sauce. You don't have to watch it on the stove to keep it from boiling too hard, nor do you have to stir it to keep it from burning on the bottom of the pot. Just throw everything in and leave it alone until you're ready to use the sauce—with plain pasta, in lasagna, even on pizzas (if you like cooked sauce on pizzas)—or preserve it in jars to use later.
If you'd like to use fresh plum tomatoes instead of canned, drop them into boiling water for a couple of minutes, then slip the skins off and chop them in the blender as in the recipe. You'll need to cook fresh tomatoes longer, 8 to 10 hours on the low setting.
- 4 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled Italian tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt
- 3 large sprigs basil, plus 1/3 cup chopped or torn basil leaves
- ¾ teaspoon dried oregano
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Sugar or ¼ teaspoon baking soda (if necessary)
In a blender or food processor, roughly puree the tomatoes with their juices. (If the tomatoes are packed in puree rather than juice, you might need to add a little water to the sauce to thin it out a bit.) Put them in a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker.
In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil, then add the onion and garlic and season lightly with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion starts to become translucent, about 4 minutes. Scrape the mixture into the cooker.
Add the basil sprigs, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
Cook, covered, on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours. If the sauce is too thin after 6 hours, cook on the high setting with the lid on sideways for 1 hour, or until thickened to your liking. Remove and discard the cooked basil.
Stir in the chopped basil, season again with salt and pepper, and add a bit of sugar or the baking soda if the sauce is too acidic.
Serve immediately, or can the sauce for future use, or freeze it in small containers for up to several months.
Nutritional Information
Nutritional information is based on 12 servings and includes 1 teaspoon of added salt.

SANTA ANA A former Beverly Hills police officer who completed a lengthy prison sentence for raping an 11-year-old girl in Irvine more than 20 years ago will remain locked up in a state mental hospital as a sexually violent predator, an Orange County jury decided Tuesday.
Steven Rush McCoy, who patrolled Rodeo Drive in the late 1970s, has a diagnosed mental disorder and would likely re-offend if released, the jury determined after 11 days of deliberations following a four-week trial before Superior Court Judge John Flynn III.
The verdict means that McCoy, 59, will be held in a mental hospital for more treatment until his psychiatrists and psychologists determine there is a change in his condition that would warrant another trial.
In March 1990, McCoy posed as a parcel deliveryman and persuaded the 11-year-old girl to open the front door of her family's apartment by claiming to have a package for her, according to news reports. Once inside, McCoy threatened the girl with a knife before raping her.
McCoy, who was a reserve officer and then a full-time Beverly Hills police officer from October 1976 to August 1978, was arrested at his apartment in the same complex about four hours later.
He pleaded no contest to burglary and four sexual-assault charges in 1991 and was sentenced to 36 years in prison by Superior Court Judge Everett Dickey. McCoy served that sentence – with time reduced for good behavior – and was about to be paroled in 2010 when the Orange County District Attorney's Office filed a petition to keep him locked up in a mental hospital.
He has been found to pose a continuing danger as a sexually violent predator during two previous trials.

The Oregon Department of Transportation has relocated a sign on Island Avenue in hopes of reducing the speed of motorists headed into Island City.
ODOT relocated a 30 mph speed zone sign, moving it 325 feet toward La Grande. It also replaced the curve sign near the west entrance to Frontier Motors.
There used to be a curve sign with a small yellow 30 mph sign on it, called a rider, but thats just the recommended speed and cannot be enforced, said Richard Baldwin, ODOT Region 5 traffic investigator.
By relocating the white 30 mph sign, motorists will be required by law to slow down before starting around the curve that leads into Island City, Baldwin said.
We really need drivers to slow down before starting around the curve, especially before they get to the intersection of F Street, Baldwin said.
There is a potential for a bad crash if traffic is moving too fast while someone is trying to get onto Island Avenue from F Street, he said.
Police will be monitoring the area and enforcing the 30 mph speed zone, he said.

DD seems to have her allergies really bothering her. She has a terrible cough that she is trying to suppress because it hurts her throat. I gave her a claritin 7 hours ago can I give her robitussin now?
Claritin and Cough syrup
Comments (9)
I don't see why not...is there any claritin in the cough syrup?
Sounds like you should go visit the allergist, and/or the regular ped to see if she has asthma. Or reactive airway disorder, as they call it these days. Or at least hang out on the asthma and allergy board. You might be able to learn enough from them to find out whether you need to check into it.
Good luck,
Ds Jan 04 Allergic to: peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, wheat, soy, dairy, pork, turkey and chicken, corn, oats and gluten intolerant (rye, barley, wheat)
That's a good question. In pharmacology I learned you should not mix an anti-allergen with a cough suppressant.
If your DD is having allergy trouble I would stick with a 12 hour med. It sounds as if she has post-nasal drip irritating her throat causing it to be sore. It would be safe to use a lozenger or throat spray. You can actually gargle with the throat spray and spit it out so you don't need to swallow it. Many pharmacy's offer alcohol free sprays as well. Also, gargling with the old fashioned remedy, salt water, is good stand by. You may also want to consider running a humidifyer at night to ease symptoms.
My personal favorite for allergies is using "Afrin no drip" nasal spray. It doesn't give you the side effects like oral medication and is safe. It lasts all day! Living in AZ has really been a challenge for my allergies but this works for me.
Hope you find what helps.
Best to you!

*You were not fashioned for fear or wired for worry You were not made 2 tremble about tomorrow Deal with what U can
You may want to try Zyrtec next time since I know some people Claritin does not work.
Here is an answer I found on the internet:
Is it okay to take 24-hour allergy Claritin and Robitussin (cough & cold) CF?
If this is the plain Claritin 24 hour, yes these would be fine together. The Robitussin CF (guaifenesin, dextromethorphan and phenylpropanolamine) is a cough, expectorant and decongestant product. You may take any plain antihistamine with this product including Claritin (loratadine). Drink plenty of water with both products and take only as long as needed.
Here is the link:

Sounds like she probably has post nasal drip(both my girls as well as myself suffer from this). Claritan isn't truely effective until you've taken it a few days. Zyrtec works better but can make you groggy so it's only good before bedtime. I'd stay away from cough meds because most don't really work anyway. Use a humidifier at night to help soothe her throat and nasal passages and either a throat spray or some tylenol for the sore throat.
DS has has wicked allergies since he was 2. They started him on Zyrtec, and we switched to Claratin when it went OTC. We noticed a HUGE difference in his behavior with the switch. On the Zyrtec he was very short tempered. He even hit his daycare teacher once... We knocked it up to the terrible 2's & 3's till we saw the change with in a week of the meds change. Just an FYI. I'm not saying don't try Zyrtec, just saying to keep an eye out. Since then I've had other parents say the same thing...
He was able to take a Robitussin or Benedryl with both of them when needed though. We tend to do the allergy med in the morning, and the other at night to help him sleep better during the rough weeks.
Hope she's feeling better soon!
~Kim: shy misunderstood hippie rebel girl turned couponing , house party suburban house wife~
Just chiming in here with the Zyrtec turning a child into a beast. My sweet little girl was an absolute MONSTER when she took it.
I agree with the pp's who said the cough syrup might not even be necessary if you can do the other measures. Otherwise, just call your ped or your pharmacist to make sure.

That's a good question. In pharmacology I learned you should not mix an anti-allergen with a cough suppressant.
Wow! I've never heard this! They are together in many OTC cold medications. DO you know why? I've been using Robitussin DM for my kids as needed, and my boys regularly take claritin for their allergies.
Tres harsh Maman.
My ds currently has some sort of respiratory thing he's fighting. I still give him his 24 hour Claritin because if I stop, his allergies will get a lot worse and it takes a while to calm them down again.
I have been giving him cold and cough medicine at night. Unless your child is actually suffering from allergies, how could it be a post-nasal drip? My ds has no allergy symptoms as long as he takes his medicine. And he is coughing a lot - that's why I think it's a virus.
Your Pediatrician can look at your dc's throat and see if it's post nasal drip.
