Trenton lost 3-2 to Richmond:
Trenton drew first blood, as Raymond Kruml singled to start and stole second. He moved to third on Corban Joseph's groundout. Austin Romine singled and the Thunder had a 1-0 lead. Richmond got their first lead of the evening in the fifth. Juan Perez singled and stole second. He moved to third on an error by Joseph, which put Sharlon Schoop on first. Perez scored on a groundout, tying the game, and Richmond pulled ahead on a single by Francisco Peguero. Trenton got the run back in the bottom of the inning, as Joseph hit a RBI double. The game stayed tied until the eighth, when Chris Dominguez hit a solo homer to put the Flying Squirrels in front again. Trenton was unable to score in the late innings and took a 3-2 loss.
Kruml went 2-5 with two runs scored. Austin Romine was 3-4 with a double and a RBI. Corban Joseph went 2-4 with a double and a RBI. Those three were the top of the order and comprised all of Trenton's offense, as the other six batters went hitless. Graham Stoneburner, had a successful return to Trenton, after working his way back from injury. He threw six innings and gave up two runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk. He struck out five.
Tampa battled Charlotte for 14 innings before taking a 6-5 victory:
Tampa trailed 5-0 after four innings, but worked their way back into the game. In the bottom of the fifth Mitch Abeita was hit by a pitch and Neil Medchill worked a walk. Kelvin Castro tripled to center, and the Yankees had their first runs of the game. A sac fly from Abraham Almonte put the Yankees down just 5-3. In the bottom of the seventh, Medchill walked and Castro doubled. With two outs, Robbier Mustelier singled to left, plating two more runs before getting thrown out at second. Still, the damage was done and the game was tied. The game stayed tied, and soon Tampa saw extra innings. Each team had opportunities, but neither came through until the bottom of the fourteenth. Castro, Almonte and Hector Rabago walked, loading the bases. Michael Solbach singled to right, plating Castro and earning Tampa the walk-off win.
Mustelier went 2-6 with a double and two RBIs. Castro went 3-5 with three runs, a double, a triple and two RBIs. Preston Claiborne pitched three scoreless, hitless innings and struck out five hitters.
Charleston dropped a 4-1 game to Greenville:
The RiverDogs got on the board first, when Garrison Lassiter walked and moved to third on a double by Jose Moijca. He scored on a error, but Charleston couldn't keep the rally going. The Drive came back and tied the game up in the bottom of the inning. Greenville broke the tie in the bottom of the sixth, with a solo homer from Sean Coyle. They added a couple more runs in the bottom of the eighth, but they didn't need them as the RiverDogs didn't threaten and took a 4-1 loss. Lassiter went 2-3 with a run scored and a walk. Steve Evarts got the loss, but went six innings giving up just two runs on five hits. He allowed two walks and struck out five.
Staten Island rallied late and took a 10-7 win over Batavia:
Staten Island scored first, as Cito Culver singled in Casey Stevenson. Batavia busted out in the bottom of the inning, as four singles, three walks and a hit by pitch led to five runs. The Muckdogs added two more runs in the fifth, giving the Yankees a 7-1 hole to climb out of. Staten Island used a big eighth inning to get back in the game. Ali Castillo singled and Culver reached on a throwing error. Angelo Gumbs drove a triple to right and scored on an error by the Batavia shortstop. Cody Grice singled and Benjamin Gamel hit a sac fly to center. Stevenson singled and Reymond Nunez doubled, plating two more runs and tying the game up 7-7. Staten Island wasted no time in the ninth. With Culver and Zachary Wilson on base, Grice tripled and scored on a single by Gamel, giving the Yankees a 10-7 win. Grice went 3-5 with two runs scored, a triple and two RBIs. Gamel went 2-4 with two RBIs.
GCL Yankees stomped the GCL Phillies 15-4:
The Yankees hit early and often Friday, as the Phillies didn't have a chance against them. The Yankees got on the board in the first, when Claudio Custodio walked and stole second and third. He scored on a wild pitch. Matthew Duran started a rally in the second, singling to left. Jackson Valera singled to center and Fu-Lin Kuo walked. Taylor Anderson singled to right, plating Duran. Custodio walked, pushing another run acorss the plate. Dan Brewer doubled giving the Yankees two more runs. Custodio then scored when Dante Bichette grounded out, giving the Yankees a six run lead they wouldn't relinquish. Custodio ended the game 1-3 with four runs scored, two RBIs, three walks and two stolen bases. He has stolen safely all sixteen attempts he has made this season. Bichette had a big game, going 2-6 with a run scored, a double, a homer and five RBIs.

Downtown facility's 2 million-plus items are headed for new, $185 million home
What's next
• Closing ceremony: 1 p.m. Friday with cake and speeches.
• Public access: Ends at 5 p.m. Sunday.
• Moving schedule: All 2.6 million items will move to the new library at 330 Park Blvd. over a 37-day period, starting June 17.
• eCivic High School: Opens in the new library Sept. 3.
• New library opens: Sept. 28.
• Reuse: The city's Real Estate Assets Department is mulling different uses for the building.
In the meantime …
• Return Central Library borrowed items to the old location or to any other city branch.
• All items checked out from the Central Library before June 10 may be renewed as usual, as long as no one else has reserved them.
• Items housed at the Central Library will not be available to the public. Once borrowed items are returned, they will not be available for checkout.
• Other city branches, regional library systems and local college and university libraries may have the item you need.
(INFO FOR CAPTIONS, IF NEEDED) Central's treasures
•There's a file on that: More than a century of city directories pinpoint who lived where and what businesses were in town. But archivist Rick Crawford said a unique resource is the line of file cabinets containing clippings, brochures and other paper items about all things historical and San Diego-related. And these subject files aren't available online.
• Dr. Seuss and Oz: Among nearly 83,000 books are some first editions by Dr. Seuss, Arthur Rackham and the "Wizard of Oz's" L. Frank Baum. Youth Services Coordinator Marina Claudio-Perez said she is going to take personal responsibility for some of these very valuable holdings to make sure they're not damaged or "lost" in transit to the new library.
• Wangenheim Room: Established by the family of a longtime library commissioner, the third-floor retreat contains Julius Wangenheim's collection of 1,700 rare books, housed in locked glass cabinets. Items include miniature books and "fore-edge" books, which depict scenes printed on the edges of the pages.
• "Garri Potter I Filosofskii Kamen": The Literature Department offers many books in foreign languages — and Russian requests outnumber those in Spanish or Vietnamese, All seven "Harry Potter" novels are there, as are editions in Braille in the I CAN! collection for patrons with disabilities.
The old Central Library at a glance
• Location: 820 E St.
• Size: 144,524 square feet in three floors and two basements.
• Collection of 2.6 million items: including 1.6 million government documents, 537,244 books, 396,877 reference materials, 82,657 children and 19,375 juvenile books, 26,848 CDs, 23,359 music scores, 13,082 DVDs, 3,231 magazine titles and 159 newspaper titles.
• Circulation, July 2011-June 2012: 442,890; visitors 464,070
San Diego John Young, 32, arrives at the Central Library downtown nearly every day to look for work using the public computer lab and update his website on Japanese anime.
Scott Moomjian, a historic preservation attorney, heads for the California Room to research property records for clients.
Sibina Johnson, 60, who lives on the streets of downtown San Diego, spends three or four days a week in the Newspaper Room and other parts of the library to search for innovation news that she hopes to sell to others who don't have time to look.
"This is an excellent library with an excellent collection," Johnson said.
These and more than a thousand daily users take advantage of 2.6 million books, magazines, DVDs, CDs and government documents that fill the three-story building at 820 E St.
But come 5 p.m. next Sunday, the doors will shut for 10 weeks. The 72-member staff will box up more than 125 years of collections and move them to 300 Park Blvd., site of the new $185 million dome-topped San Diego Central Library Library.

Spawning German Blue Rams
I have a pair of German Blue Rams that are spawning in my 60 gal tank. I created a divider from a window screen. The couple are the only things on the other side of the screen for now. They have about 20+ gal to themselves. This is the first time I've had an fish spawn. I know my odd are probably slim for the eggs to make it to the adult stage, but any advice toy help my odds?
When the eggs hatch, the fry will need food. Some will be readily available in the tank, especially if there are live plants and the tank is not new but established. But this microscopic plankton and such won't last for ever. There are preparations of fry food available in stores, I personally have never tried them, but they might be useful at first. The best new food for cichlid fry is newly hatched brine shrimp. I used this for my Apistogramma and angelfish fry.

Reviews by foxnoir
Tough but addictive!foxnoir | July 5, 2013 | Review of They Bleed Pixels (1) - PC
They Bleed Pixels is a really tricky platformer with a quirky style reminiscent of Super Meat Boy. Unlike Super Meat Boy it is also a beat em' up and boy is it fun kicking enemies into spikes and saw blades. Even though you die over and over trying to work out how to get somewhere the interesting atmosphere keeps you going til the end. The art style is great and the soundtrack is awesome, it peps up your mood after you have finished swearing at the screen!

After the Fire, a Still, Small Voice by Evie Wyld (2009)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Interesting and nicely written, but I would have liked knowing earlier how the threads were woven. Possibly a density on my part.
Having just read Wyld's 'All the birds singing', I decided to read this, her previous book and was surprised to find myself enjoying it just as much as her second novel. The way she has the lives of father and son – Leon and Frank – unfolding at the same stage more or less of their lives at the same time is enticingly original. I also like her style, imbuing words with implication such as Leon, on R & R from Vietnam finding 'he missed the covering of the jungle canopy and the heavy understanding of his gun'. And, as well as the strands of the plot creating tension, she has also explored how people cope with their flawed selves and their sense of distance and loss – all very effectively. She nudges along the reader's understanding, avoiding brash outcomes, letting that implication work. I like the way the title emerges, firstly with the lighter Leon buys with 'After the earthquake, a fire' and then later in Leon's truncated dream 'After the wind, an earthquake' so that we get the impression of one upheaval after another but then find the 'still, small voice' fragilely comforting – the ending of the novel striking the right note between hope and sadness.
Another reading group book bites the dust. I got really bored really quickly. It is not my sort of novel anyway and at about page 90 I gave up. Nope - not for me.
The highlight of this book for me is the descriptive prose. Evie Wyld has a real talent for using fresh language and images, and it shines through from the first page to the last.
The story is about traumatised men who bottle up their emotions and fail to communicate, and it's well told, as we alternate between rageful Frank in the present day and his father Leon growing up and going through the Vietnam War. Much of the force that drives the novel on is discovering the reasons for Frank's anger and particularly for his hatred of his father, but this is never really resolved satisfactorily. It's consistent with the characters that nothing really gets openly expressed, but it left me feeling a bit disappointed at the end.
I'd still recommend this book for the luminous prose and the deft handling of compelling themes, but just don't expect all the strands to be pulled together perfectly.
I read this book when we first moved to Ottawa in May 2012. I found the writing and characters so different that I struggled through the first bit. At a certain point I became captivated by this unusual book. At a turning point in the book all of the pieces fell together creating a strange and beautiful book.

No descriptions found.
Frank moves from Canberra to a shack on the east coast after the turbulent breakdown of his relationship. He wants to put his violent past and bad memories of his father behind him. In a small coastal community, he tries to retrain himself as someone who can have regular conversations and relations with other people. He even starts to make friends, including 8-year-old Sal and her carrot. But something dark watches him, a Creeping Jesus in the sugar cane. Leon is the child of European immigrants to Australia. Leon's father loves Australia for becoming their home when their own country turned hostile during WWII. His mother is not so comforted by suburban life in a cake shop. His parents are broken when his father volunteers to fight in the Korean War. Leon then goes from working in the shop, sculpting sugar dolls for the tops of wedding cakes, to killing young men as a conscripted machine-gunner in Vietnam. Back in Australia, in towns lost in the bush, Christian fundamentalism settles on a sleepy community who chose to forget the legacy of war and the conflicts between people. In the fall-out from Vietnam, Leon thinks he might be able to make a new life with his woman, make a baby, live by the sea in a small shack. But something watches from the cold shade of the teeming bush...… (more)

Am I gaining too much weight?
I'm only 10 weeks along and have already gained at least 14 pounds! Is this too much already?

I would say it depends on you. Since you are only 10 weeks along, almost all of that is fat you have added on, and not the baby. If this is your first child, I would say just to eat better or exercise a bit more. If you feel hungry, I would try drinking milk prior to eating and that helps you feel full and eat less. I tell you only because I had my first child when I was 18. I ate like crazy. I was thin prior to getting pregnant and ate a lot of fast food/junk food during my pregnancy. Once I had my daughter, I went into depression. I had stretchmarks on my stomach, under my arms, and behind my legs. It was hard to deal with. I am not saying this will be your case and I am not trying to scare you, but I wouldn't want you to feel how I felt. Eat, but eat healthier and try to fit in some light exercise in between. Trust me, I wish someone would have told me that before. Now, years later, I am pregnant again. I am 13 weeks now and have gained about 2 pounds.posted 05/09/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm 34 weeks along with twins and I've put on about 42 lbs so far. My doc told me that I should stay in the 40-45 lb range, but with a few more weeks to go in this pregnancy, I will definitely be closer to 50 lbs gained. At first I was pretty sad that I had put on the max amount of weight so soon, but as I read all these posts I'm starting to feel better. I'm doing what I can to eat healthy, but I'm very limited in my activity level. I do splurge, but I'm not eating donuts every day. I'm happy that there are others out there concerned about weight gain too.posted 01/09/2008 by susanbr76
yeah it is......im 32weeks and i gain 35poundsposted 07/03/2011 by leah lasha
i'm 15 weeks and lost 4kg ...which my doctor thinks is normalposted 04/28/2009 by liefleik
i agree with mama biscuit...that's way too much weight. although most people are right in saying that women will naturally put on the weight that is needed that by NO MEANS is a carte blanche in eating whatever you want! 30 minutes of light physical activity daily is recommended by drs throughout the pregnancy. keep in mind that the amount of weight you gain is not correlated to your baby's growth, you WILL have to end up losing all that weight by yourself and the more weight you put on, the more you'll have to take off later on.posted 12/27/2007 by simakassem
I think you should really be careful and make healthier choices. Pregnancy is not an excuse to get fat and lazy. Do what's best for yourself and your baby, stay active and eat healthy. You don't have to eat for two, a couple hundred more calories a day is all you need. That's like a small milkshake or a bowl of ice cream. It doesn't even have to be sweet. When you get a craving eat a small portion of something high in protein and then a tiny bit of what you are craving. Staying in shape and healthy eating makes pregnancy, delivery, and after baby weight loss easier. And remember to take your prenatal vitamin! Folic acid and iron and the other vitamins are essential to your baby's growth and development.posted 10/17/2007 by gishaina
Yes, that is too much. According to my doctor and books I have been reading it's optimal to gain about 2-3 pounds in the first trimester. Of course this might be difficult, especially if you're experiencing nausea and the only thing that will make you feel better is to munch on food all day! But if that's the case you might want to balance it with some exercise.posted 09/11/2007 by monicow
14 lbs in the 1st trimester is WAY too much! You can't go back + lose them now, but be mindful through the remainder of your pregnancy. Rapid weight gain can cause gestational diabetes in some + stretch marks. Eat when you're hungry + try to @ least walk daily.posted 09/12/2007 by mama_biscuit

Episode Six Of The Ted & Christine In Sundance Show, where Paul & Sam try to answer what their best Sundance experience has been.
Episode 6: Christine & Ted Talk To Paul Giamatti and Sam Rockwell
Episode Five Of The Christine & Ted In Sundance Show, where Paul Giamatti and Sam Rockwell discuss what it's like for them on set and what it means for them now that they work all the time.
The other interview Christine Vachon and I did for FilmCatcher (before they changed direction) at Sundance this year is now up on YouTube. The sounds not great, but the content's still revealing. It stars two of the greatest actors of our day (and that ain't CV or me), so check it out.
Back at the beginning of the year, Christine Vachon and I sat down with Alan Cumming, Jeff Lipsky, and Lee Daniels to talk with them about what it was like to sit in the director's chair after being established in other roles within the industry.
You can look at all nine installments, right here:
In a post entitled "Issues Of Sustainability" on the Filmmaker Mag Blog, Lance Weiler talks about how we as filmmakers can produce for today's evolving audiences. In talking to filmmakers, I still find they often don't yet fully conceive what it means to adopt a "transmedia" approach to storytelling and marketing. On the other side of the spectrum though is what made Wired's recent post on "Why Hollywood Needs a New Model For Storytelling" such a gas -- they've got it and got it good. Check it out. We may not need to build the ARGs and seed the story so heavily on blogs and elsewhere as Scott Brown writes about, but we do need to give serious thought about how the hell to build audiences for our stories.
Todd Sklar tipped me to the video of the panel I participated on at Sundance, and now you can decide: push or ponder?

With an 0-for-18 batting average and 12 strikeouts vs. right-handers in these playoffs, Girardi has essentially stated that A-Rod can't be of any service to the Yankees when a right-handed starter is on the mound – or if a right-handed reliever is looming, for that matter.
A-Rod wasn't a pinch-hitting option for the Yankees last night in the ninth inning, due to the possibility that Joaquin Benoit probably would've jogged in from the bullpen to replace lefty Phil Coke.
Think about that for a second.
If A-Rod is regarded as being a bad matchup in that scenario, why would he be in tonight's lineup against Max Scherzer?
The question now is, will Girardi stick with Brett Gardner – who didn't get a ball out of the infield in four at-bats last night – at the top of the order?
Will Nick Swisher be back in the lineup (we suspect he will).
And will Eduardo Nunez return to shortstop tonight (seems like a yes).
We'll see in about an hour or so.

Lacy told dozens of reporters outside the Boulder justice center that sometimes "exigent" circumstances can drive the timing of an arrest.
She said that Karr had just begun his employment as a second-grad teacher in a Bangkok international school Tuesday.
The prosecutor said that because of the constraints of the code of professional conduct and the presumption of innocence, she could answer very few questions.
"What I can tell you, in a generic sense, is that in all serious cases, we work hard with law enforcement not to make an arrest until the investigation is substantially complete," Lacy said. "There are circumstances that may exist in any case which mandate an arrest before an investigation is complete."
"The primary reason is public safety. A secondary reason is fear of flight," Lacy said.
"In short, exigent circumstances can drive the timing of an arrest.
The prosecution asked the public and the press not to jump to any quick conclusions, despite Karr's arrest. Lacy said that the public should "heed" the advice of John Ramsey that he gave Wednesday, which was: don't jump to judgment, don't speculate and let the justice system take its course.
"Let us continue to do our job thoroughly," the prosecutor said. "The analysis of the evidence in this case continues on a day-by-day basis and an hour-by-hour basis."
Lacy said that the investigative agencies involved included the Royal Thailand Police, the Department of Special Investigations in Bangkok, the Roswell and Atlanta (Ga.) police departments, the Atlanta field office of the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security and the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency.
"At every level in Thailand, law enforcement joined forces to provide 24-hour assistance to our investigators here and in Bangkok seven days a week," Lacy said. "We are overwhelmed by the selfless dedication and hard work of these individuals and agencies."
The prosecutor went out of her way to praise district-attorney investigator Mark Spray, who left Boulder a week ago Monday on four hours' notice. She called Spray "our man on the ground" in Bangkok who has worked tirelessly since leaving.
Authorities said that they are currently working with the Thai government to have Karr returned to the United States.

The parking situation was quite unorganized.

This did not happen until almost a month later. Upon being given a spot, I found my car did not fit (I do not think it is even meant to be a parking spot).

Chemical technology news from across RSC Publishing.
Microreactor's holey coat improves syntheses
04 December 2008
A thin catalytic coating on the walls of chemical reactors could make a wide range of industrial processes more efficient, say a team of European researchers.
The pores in the titanium dioxide thin film hold the catalytic palladium nanoparticles
Many chemical syntheses, particularly those of pharmaceuticals, have hydrogenation as a key step. Scientists usually do the hydrogenation in slurry reactors, in which gas is bubbled through a suspension of solid catalyst, often palladium, in liquid. This process has drawbacks, says Angel Berenguer-Murcia, at the University of Cambridge, UK: 'The catalyst has to be filtered off and the product purified by one or more purification steps.'
Instead, Berenguer-Murcia and colleagues in Cambridge and at the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, coated the walls of a microreactor with a thin porous film of titanium dioxide that contained palladium nanoparticles in its pores. They showed that the film catalysed the hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene with comparable speed and selectivity to palladium nanoparticles in solution. They also found that the film was stable for more than a month of continuous use. 'As there is no leaching of the catalyst, separation and purification steps are not required. Thus, the overall efficiency of chemical processes can be considerably improved,' says Berenguer-Murcia.
- Paul Watts, University of Hull, UK
'It is our hope that these developments will strongly impact on the nature and scale of process equipment, pilot plants, and production facilities and devices,' says Berenguer-Murcia. 'The process and chemical industry in Europe will have to at least maintain its present global position in a very competitive world by considerably strengthening its innovative power and increasing its research and development investments. This strong position relies on, among other factors, the availability and further development of innovative process equipment.'

DAWSONVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- The manager of a resort in the north Georgia mountains says he's trying to keep thousands of young people from showing up for a rave party, vowing that his property "will not become a mini-Woodstock."
Edwin Alexander says he's trying to get the word out that what has been billed as "the biggest Rave/house party of the year" won't take place at the Jackson Lake House Estate in Dawson County.
Alexander tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he was led to believe there would be a gathering of no more than 12 people when a man signed a lease to rent the property for late October. Alexander said he later discovered promotions for the rave on a Facebook page, where 2,800 people said they planned to attend.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)
Prosecutors on Friday indicated they were not going to seek the death penalty for Virginia Larzelere, her attorney Thomas Mott said. The judge then sentenced her to life in prison.
Mott says Larzelere will be eligible for parole after serving 25 years. She has served 17.
A jury convicted Larzelere of masterminding the 1991 shotgun slaying of her husband, Dr. Norman Larzelere, at his dental office.
She got a new sentencing hearing because the Florida Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that lawyers botched the sentencing phase of her trial.

I just registered my bike on Bikeregistry.com, but I've had their bike lock for a couple years so I thought I'd let you know what I thought of it.
Their photos:
It's very solid. I think the lock is a better design than the standard padlock. The bar is not exposed so there's nothing to cut! They also have another lock that looks even more secure:
The chain is quite beefy and weighs like 10 pounds. "3/8" PEWAG security chain, made in Austria". It's a meter long, long enough for me to wrap around my waist. After a few days of riding with it I didn't notice the weight.
If you are looking for mega chain lock, this one is great I think, and it's pretty inexpensive too ($34.95+ $.44 shipping) Bikeregistry.com also has a few other small products like a saddle lock wire for a couple bucks.
And of course you can register your bike for free on this site and get some stickers so the good person who finds it can contact you!
Anyone else use this site to register? I think I need to contact the police station to see what other registration I could do with them too.

Vt. tops nation in removing mercury thermostats
MONTPELIER A new report by a group working to get mercury out of the environment says Vermont leads the nation in efforts to collect mercury thermostats and keep them out of the waste stream.
The Mercury Policy Project and Vermont Public Interest Research Group joined in releasing figures showing that Vermont and Maine are the nations leaders because they require manufacturers to pay $5 to contractors and homeowners who return mercury-added thermostats, resulting in significantly higher collection rates.
Its clear that a financial incentive, coupled with good education and outreach, has resulted in Vermont having one of the highest per-capita thermostat collection rates in the country, said Michael Bender, director of the international Mercury Policy Project.
Vermonts mercury thermostat bounty program started in 2009, with 53 participating plumbing and heating wholesalers, 74 hardware stores, and 19 municipal waste-collection locations.
Collections jumped after Vermonts bounty went into effect, and the state rose to first in the nation for collection in 2011.
In the first year of the program, 1,890 thermostats were turned in, the Burlington Free Press reported. In the following two years, more than 3,300 were collected.
Preliminary numbers suggest about 3,200 were collected in 2012, said Gary Gulka of the states Department of Environmental Conservation.
We certainly believe that the cash incentive has had an impact, Gulka said.
The biggest thermostat manufacturers discontinued making thermostats containing mercury in 2010. Many homeowners still have functioning mercury thermostats that can last 20 years or longer, Bender said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A potential showdown using eminent domain to seize land needed for a Capital City...

Habitat recycling program hits 10-year mark
Group collecting cans to build second house
Thursday, June 20, 2013
The founders of the local Cans for Habitat recycling program discovered that millions of aluminum cans can help build a home.
Rayma Grohs and Carol Scott founded Cans for Habitat in 2003, and July marks the program's 10th anniversary. Money raised from recycling efforts has funded one house through River City Habitat for Humanity, and the goal is to fund another.
"Our biggest vision was to sponsor one Habitat house," Grohs said. "Now our vision is to do a second in a shorter amount of time."
Grohs and Scott have been involved with River City Habitat for Humanity since the organization's early days in the mid-1990s. Each has served the organization in various capacities, including serving as the organization's president. Both women have also received Habitat for Humanity's Lifetime Achievement Award.
The duo, along with the Cans for Habitat committee, River City Habitat for Humanity and dedicated community members, raised nearly $55,000 for the first house on Montana Street, known as "The House That Cans Built." By the time the house was dedicated in late 2010, more than 2.9 million aluminum cans had been collected and recycled through the local Cans for Habitat program.
Grohs said Cans for Habitat currently receives 55 cents for every pound of cans, but the price fluctuates with the market. When the organization first began, it received 27 cents for every pound. Approximately 32 cans equal a pound.
"We knew that none of us could donate all of that money," Scott said. "But we knew what we could accomplish with a lot of people giving a little effort."
There are various Can Cottages located around Jefferson City where people can drop off cans. Cans for Habitat committee members also pick up empty cans from Jefferson City businesses.
"It's dirty work," Scott said. "Sometimes my car smells. I get in and wonder, 'Hmm ... is that Bud or Miller Lite?'"
The local Cans for Habitat program grew from a national program that began as a partnership between the Aluminum Association and Habitat for Humanity International. Other Habitat for Humanity chapters also have the program.
Grohs said she is always amazed with the people she encounters through River City Habitat for Humanity.
"They're just exceptional," she said.
Scott said the hardworking and passionate volunteers and committee members have made Cans for Habitat what it is today.
"To have a family in a house because of aluminum cans is amazing," she said.
A new Cans for Habitat shed was dedicated last month on Habitat's property, 1420 Creek Trail Drive, to commemorate the 10th anniversary.
"It's many years in the making," said Kelly Smith, executive director of Habitat for Humanity. "They can store supplies there, as well as collected cans. It's sort of a base of operations for the can program."
She also said River City Habitat for Humanity will host some sort of party in early July for Cans for Habitat committee members and volunteers.
"It'll be something for their support and dedication," she said. "Collecting aluminum cans is not the most glamorous job.
"We want to celebrate them and thank them for their work."

I am a language teacher, writer and teacher trainer. I'm a team member of Science Across the World and a fellow of IUPAC as well as coordinator of the Forum for Across the Curriculum Teaching (www.factworld.info). I've coordinated a number of successful science education events around the world over the past decade including Young Ambassadors for Chemistry, (YACs) with Dr Lida Schoen and have run science workshops for children based on science exhibition themes and dates. It seems to me that the International Year of Chemistry is a perfect opportunity for engaging young people and the larger public with the science of chemistry and its relevance with everyday lives.
In collaboration with a team of chemistry teachers, I've prepared a portfolio of science education events with a focus on young people, chemistry, languages and the real world. This portfolio of activities is written with IYC in mind and envisages public chemistry events where young people work on chemistry projects and engage with the public while doing the science. In this way, the young people mediate between the chemistry and the public which will result in both increased student motivation for chemistry and raising public awareness about chemistry.

Jury awards $1.14M in suit against state agency
Saturday, March 29, 2014
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis jury has awarded $1.14 million to a former employee of the Missouri Department of Public Safety who accused the department of age discrimination.
The St. Louis Circuit Court jury awarded $1.14 million on Thursday to Timothy Barber, 61, who worked for the state Department of Public Safety for nearly 30 years before he was let go in November 2009, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported (http://bit.ly/P4kHd6 ).
Barber, a senior agent in the department's Division of Alcohol & Tobacco Control, was told he was laid off because of budget concerns. Two other more senior special agents were also let go, while the four youngest special agents in the office, who had less seniority, did not lose their jobs.
Barber's lawyers, Jerome Dobson and Brian Love, said that ran counter to years of prior practice in which layoffs were made in reverse order of time served with the department.
Dobson said the department eventually offered Barber his job back under the condition that he release the department from liability in his discrimination claim. But Barber refused.
Barber's lawyers asked the jury to award Barber three years' worth of lost compensation, minus what he gets in retirement money. Barber made about $56,000 a year. The jury awarded him $540,000 in actual damages and $600,000 in punitive damages.
"We're enormously gratified with the verdict," Dobson said.
A spokeswoman for the attorney general's office, which represented the state agency, declined comment.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

text: 10 YEARS AGO Nov. 29, 2001 – With a major winter storm passing through Colfax over the Thanksgiving weekend, weather forecasters predicted another storm late this week. Snow was reported above 4,500 feet, near Nyack. Rain totals in Colfax, included 1.05 inches of rain on Wednesday, 1.36 on Thursday, and 1.56 Saturday. It brought the season total to 8.50 inches, slightly more than a year ago at this time. The Nov. 27 Colfax City Council meeting was canceled. The next meeting has been set for 7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 11. It is expected that the city council will elect a new mayor. A year ago the voters of Colfax approved a change in the mayor election process. Up to that point voters elected the mayor for a two-year term and four council members. That was changed to electing five equal council members with the council then selecting the mayor from the council for a one-year term. This method is used in other Placer County municipalities. Colfax Elementary School District Superintendent of Schools Alan Shuttleworth was honored as Citizen of the Year Wednesday night at the Colfax Area Chamber of Commerce 2000-01 Awards Dinner held at Giovanni's Restaurant. Other awards were presented to Buzz-thru-Joe's as Business of the Year; Dr. Zedner was named Business Person of the Year; and MBI Ready Mix was selected as Volunteer of the Year. Special awards went to the California Department of Forestry and the Colfax Fire Department and area firefighters and community safety officers for community safety service; the Colfax Theater for hosting the Mickey Rooney Show; and Bob Thompson for scoring "Hail Mr. Colfax." 20 YEARS AGO Nov. 27, 1991 – Like a good detective novel, the Colfax Area Chamber of Commerce has been trying to track down some elusive origins and is now near its long sought-after goal. The mystery is – Where did the historic Pullman railroad car come from before Heart Federal brought it to Colfax? Local railroad buff and historian Bill Fisher said the car came from AT&SF, or Santa Fair Railroad, which sold it to the Apache Railroad in Arizona as a tourist train. The last man to pull the historic Pallman before it was sold to Heart Federal was W.R. "Bob" Echols of McNary, Ariz., where the White Mountain Scenic Railroad was. Echols said the car made its last trip in Arizona on July 25, 1976 when it was pulled to a siding in Pinetop, Ariz. and parked until Heart Federal moved it to Colfax two years ago. It had been painted red, white and blue, not as part of the 1976 Bicentennial Freedom Train, but as part of a tourist train operated by the Apache Indian Tribe in Snowflake, Ariz. The Colfax High School junior varsity football team posted a school record-setting record of 9-1 this past season and shared the Golden Empire League championship with Center High School. Team members included Beau Strika, Sam Luppens, Ryan Mace, Kevin McCoy, Casey Reynolds, Jack Hickey, Mike Karsikas, Matt Lorang, Richie Youmans, Zach Holm, Matt Kreeger, Isaiah Blackmun, Micha Davison, Daniel Branton, Carl Swartz, Dan Walsh, Ryan McDonald, Paul Ricketts, Zak Gulling, Brian Rohl, Josh Cornell and Bob Knapp. Coaches were Mark Ferreira, Tony Martello, Bill Bean and Eric Harmon. Photographer and Colfax area native Jeff Farrell returned to his home turf this past summer and converted an old warehouse into a national level photographic illustration studio – Firehouse Alley Productions. Prior to his move to Colfax, Farrell and his wife, Carolyn, operated a large studio in Reno. Farrell immediately became active in the Colfax community after returning home, applying for and being appointed to the Colfax City Council. 50 YEARS AGO Nov. 30, 1916 – The Iowa Hill school district is now included in the Colfax school district since the board of supervisors approved the change of the boundaries. The Iowa Hill district has been a part of the Foresthill school district for several years. When the school was closed this fall due to only three pupils in attendance, the residents of Iowa Hill petitioned the supervisors to change the boundaries. The three pupils are being transported to the Colfax Elementary School at a cost of $5 per day. The road from Iowa Hill to Foresthill is almost impassable during the winter months. Work is now under way on a new telephone equipment building in Dutch Flat on the north side of Stockton Street. The building will house automatic dial switching equipment to serve Pacific Telephone customers in the Alta exchange north of Monte Vista. 75 YEARS AGO Dec. 4, 1936 – The Foote Electric Company of Grass Valley has opened a branch store in the Lobner building on Main Street with Ben Dressen in charge. The new electric company occupies the store formerly occupied by H.O. Grenier, the jeweler. Delicious pastries, cakes, hot bread, doughnuts and birthday and wedding cakes were offered on one-day's notice by the Colfax Bakery and Grocery, run by A. Fontana and located at the corner of Grass Valley and Main streets.

Anaheim – Disney creators have put fine details into the nooks and crannies of the new Cars Land at Disney California Adventure.
The 12-acre area is chock-full of references to the "Cars" movies, as well as cars themselves. Cars Land opened last month as the biggest part of the park's $1 billion makeover.
Disney creators even invented back stories for the unseen in the "Cars" movies. For example, viewers never see the inside of Lizzie's curio shop or Flo's V8 Café in the original movie. Now they can.
Just outside Cars Land, in the Blue Sky Cellar exhibit space, the tale of the creation of Radiator Springs, the fictional Route 66 town in the "Cars" movies, is unveiled.
In the movie, town founder Stanley is seen only as a statue. So Disney-Pixar made a short film, "Time Travel Mater," which explains how Radiator Springs came to be. Stanley is a radiator-cap salesman and his artifacts are on display.
Take a look at some of the details of Cars Land by clicking on the photo slideshow.

Reviews for Wasteland Angel
Still Funemptyhaven | March 7, 2015 | See all emptyhaven's reviews »
I hear a lot of reviews that say it's repetitive, but I'd put it in a better light, calling it formulaic. It follows a pattern and I think it's not that bad. There's a lot of somewhat unpredictable stuff that mix up gameplay here and there. I mean for starters driving around is highly dependent on the skill of the player. And a lot of times, it's random run-and-gun. It's a lot of fun though. The whole post-apocalyptic thing was a nice theme too. I've seen and played a lot of post-apocalyptic themed games, and this is the first I've seen that chose to do it this way. It's mostly shooters and adventure games, but driving around and mowing everything down with your car is one treatment of the genre that I thought was new. Overall, not too many complaints here. Mostly praise. It's good fun. Also, it's very satisfying flattening whole hordes of people with a car decked out with all sorts pf weaponry. A definite recommendation!
Repetitive, buggy, but still fun .darkyhbk | July 6, 2013 | See all darkyhbk's reviews »
Wasteland Angel is a fun little game if you can get over the repetitiveness and some bugs that you're sure to encounter. Controlling a buggy from top down perspective in a post-apocalyptic world, you're tasked with defending certain outposts from waves of enemies. Their vehicles come either to fight you, or to kidnap civilians from the outposts. When destroying enemy vehicles, you get certain powerups or special weapons to use to your advantage : spikes, flamethrowers, mines, or even a small nuke. After two levels in which you defend an outpost, you get a bossfight, where you're told which special weapons to use in order to make him vulnerable. Very straightforward. Then you get a bonus level, in which you either race through checkpoints, survive against endless spawning enemies or destroy vehicles in order to add seconds to a timer. Same goes for all areas. If you don't mind some enemies getting stuck before entering the map, some turning invisible just staying there for a couple of waves, and some texture trouble, you can definitely have a bit of fun with Wasteland Angel if the game's idea appeals to you. It takes no more than 3 hours to complete it 100%, so if you can get it for a price cut, consider doing it.
Great Fun!DanielZo0 | June 11, 2013 | See all DanielZo0's reviews »
Not sure why the game was rated so harshly. I enjoyed playing it. It took me a while to get good at controlling the car, but once I got that down the levels are pretty challenging. The game plays like a driving shooter. Graphics are nice so are the guns. It's well worth your dollar and I've been playing it for hours on end. Once you start you really can't seem to be able to stop playing this thing! I'm glad I found it as I've never heard of it before. I highly recommend you trying it out, since it's very cheap for the quality you get!
Shortie, but goodieShav | May 29, 2013 | See all Shav's reviews »
Wasteland Angel is one of the funniest indie games I played in past few months. Even though it is really short I had a blast while playing it. It's a top down vehicular shooter with a sexy pin-up girl as a main character, set in post-apocalyptic world. You are defending towns from bandits, using variety of weapons. A nice addition to this game are few levels with FPP view, where you have to race through checkpoints or exterminate all the enemies. While the normal price is a bit too expensive for a game that lasts for about 2hours it is certainly worth it to get it during some -75% promotions.

Well, the game is simple you choose your difficulty level and so on, at the beginning I found through "discouraged" with the ease of the game, but the wire will start playing even saw that it was a great and super challenging pastime , this game has some of the genres most of grueling meets quality and even that belonging to a single producer could please me during 2 hrs and a half spent to finish it, but I did not stop here, the game still has a system score-board, where 'easily' can reach the top, only a simple condition, no one wants to miss a live game so the multiplier will always be high and consequently their points too, I highly recommend it for those who ta little bored tired of big franchises, it is ae: D
Repetitive after a few timepanz3r88 | Sept. 14, 2012 | See all panz3r88's reviews »
Wasteland Angel is a simple game , where you ride a vehicle and you must shoot to everything that moves using the weapon mounted on your vehicle. After a few levels the game become a bit repetitive and boring.
Warrior chickmaciej2601 | Aug. 30, 2012 | See all maciej2601's reviews »
Wasteland Angel is set in a post-apocalyptic world action game with elements of arcade. The player takes the role of soldiering, which heavily armed and armored vehicle travels between distributed, human settlements. On the road are dangerous gangs, renegades and mutants. The game was produced by the studio Octane Games.
Great top-down car combatCooberstooge | Aug. 28, 2012 | See all Cooberstooge's reviews »
This is one of the best new takes on the ages-old formula of a bunch of heavily modified vehicles having it out on a battlefield. An interesting story is backed up by a quirky cast of characters and a unique comic book visual style of story telling. You're essentially the female version of the Road Warrior, and fight to save small outposts from bandits and slave traders throughout the game, while pursuing the finale of the main story. The combat is fast and bloody, with multitudes of explosions, flips, skids, and crashes. The sounds are great, with plenty of gunfire and explosions to keep you hyped, and a rocking soundtrack that keeps things intense. The bonus levels are pretty neat, and see you driving from a first person perspective into combat, where you'll have stuff to destroy, races to win, and things to jump. The game is around 4 hours for me, but those were a good four hours, and I'd gladly pay the same price again. Never once ran across any bugs, either.
Great game but shortRubin1993 | Aug. 21, 2012 | See all Rubin1993's reviews »
Wasteland Angel is 2D top down arcade game. You are Angel and you must stop all wastelanders attacking city. The game is like tower defence but with no towers and only you have car and powerups you obtain. Mostly missions are about defending city, killing bosses and bonuses such as Frenzy (you must kill as much wastelanders as you can). Graphic is not bad. Gameplay is a bit repetetive. The game is not long. I completed the game and obtained all achievements in 3h ! I must that game is good but the price is too high for this game.
Top down killing galorejusting943 | Sept. 4, 2011 | See all justing943's reviews »
Easy controls, exploding vehicles all over the screen. It's all decent, but it feels a bit dry despite there being "kill" and "escort" missions etc., because each map is just wave after wave of vehicles with slight differences (some steal civilians, some shoot at you, some do both), and you get a final score after you clear all the waves. I would have liked to see a slightly more explorable world with less linear gameplay, but provided it's around the $5 mark, it's a worthy buy. Here's hoping Renegade Ops, released later this month, will fill the craving for more top down awesomeness this game has left me with.
Just like driving trough the wastelandmetalfreak | Sept. 3, 2011 | See all metalfreak's reviews »
Actually Wasteland Angel is not that bad but it's not that good. It could have been one really great post apocalyptic car shooter but it somehow just slipped away into mediocrity. Game is about a survivors of the WW3 and main character is driving around in her armored car and fights to protect the civilians from renegades, mutants and gangs, well that's not that original but but reminds a little of Mad Max and promises fun. Graphics are not that great but this is not AAA game and sounds are OK, not great but OK. What really breaks this game is it's level design, thing is that you fight on a map for 9-19 waves of enemies from a top down perspective and then the next level is that same map but in the night, this makes for pretty repetitive game-play, but after couple of maps you get to the boss fight which is little less waves and no civilians and for a last wave some big boss that has to be killed with a super weapon. For those of you that wonder about those bonus FPS missions they're a mixed bag, for one in those missions you still drive your car just like in the normal game but from a FPS perspective and have some objective like checkpoint race or just killing bad guys which can be really fun (when you blow up enemy car its driver becomes pedestrian which you can run over) but on the other side shows pretty low graphic quality. Graphics :60 Sounds :70 Game-Play:60
Order Renegade Ops Instead, Unless...xorn000 | Sept. 3, 2011 | See all xorn000's reviews »
Mostly everything about this game feels generic and boring. It could be the unmotivated campaign, the somewhat small combat areas, or maybe even how the game looks like it was rushed to the shelf just to beat Renegade Ops by a little time. If you have credits and can get the game for cheap and want something to just pass some time, this may do it for you. Otherwise most of the game lacks redeeming qualities and hopefully further patching fixes the game. Control binding will be allowed in the future and things of that sort. I wanted to like this game so I will sit and wait to see what the patching does for it. In the meantime, I'd be better off playing something like Gatling Gears if I want a game like this for now. (Gatling Gears is pretty awesome since it has so much more of everything imaginable.) There is still potential for the game to bounce back to a decent player, it's all in the devs hands. Mindless car based shooting that wishes it was more fun.

Did IBM's Watson Have an Advantage on 'Jeopardy!'?
Jeopardy Brad Rutter Finds Buzzer Politics At Play
Jeopardy Brad Rutter Finds Buzzer Politics At Play
Some of today's online stories for investors: What was it like to play against IBM's Watson? How did the Kardashians make $65mm last year? Is the music industry dead?
If nobody's perfect, same goes for computers. Big Blue's digital dynamo Watson may have handily defeated its human rivals this week on the Jeopardy! challenge, but it made some major errors along the way. IBM's engineers have been posting post-mortems about that on the Internet.
For Watson, it was elementary. IBM's mighty supercomputer has landed the title of new Jeopardy! champ. No matter how hard Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings -- the two human contestants pitted against the machine -- tried, they were just no match for the brainy Watson.
IBM's supercomputer Watson racked up $5,000 in winnings on day one of the three-day Jeopardy! challenge Monday, but so did one of its human competitors. The human champs, Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings, face long odds -- at least according those betting their own money on the action.
Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter know how tough IBM's Watson supercomputer will be to defeat. But with the honor of the human race at stake next week, they both have strategies that they're counting on to outwit the ultra-brainy black box. Here's a look at how they're preparing for the ultimate challenge.
Brandishing hardware and software optimized for understanding the nuances of natural language questions, Big Blue's supercomputer is preparing to face two flesh-and-blood champions of the TV game show. It'll also showcase IBM's growing abilities in analytics software that could appeal to a lot of businesses.

Agent for defensive tackle says positive test for performance enhancer a surprise
The NFL has suspended Chargers defensive end Garrett Brown four regular-season games for violating its substance abuse policy.
Brown, 23, is eligible to play in the preseason, although he's been missing practice because of a foot injury, wearing a protective boot.
He recently tested positive for a performance enhancer.
Brown was not expected to make the 53-man roster out of training camp, and the suspension figures to lengthen those odds.
John Pace, Brown's agent, said he learned about the positive test this week and is "taken back by this."
He declined to disclose the substance for which Brown tested positive.
"We have no idea where it came from," Pace said. "Me and Garrett, we've been through this, looking over absolutely everything that he's taken, and there's nothing that warrants the (positive test), unless something was in a mixture. You don't know, and that's the crazy part. He's a great kid."
The Chargers signed Brown to a one-year deal in May. He spent time on the Chiefs practice squad in 2010.
"I've known him since he was 16," Pace said. "He would never do anything that would jeopardize any reputation or image that he has or that the Chargers would have. ... It came as a shock."
If the Chargers kept Brown, he'd be ineligible to join their active roster until Oct. 1 following their fourth regular-season game.
Next challenge
The Chargers have thrown the kitchen at rookie Michael Harris.
He's taken first-team reps at left tackle nearly all of training camp. He's matched up with Shaun Phillips, Antwan Barnes, Melvin Ingram and Co. every practice. He's blocked Packers outside linebacker Clay Mathews in his preseason debut.
On Saturday, here comes the sink.
Harris, undrafted out of UCLA but impressing with his improvement since he arrived, prepares for the latest challenge of his NFL initiation, facing Cowboys outside linebacker Demarcus Ware.
They're strangers now.
By this time next week, the two will be plenty comfortable.
The Chargers play the Cowboys at 6 p.m. Saturday at Qualcomm Stadium. On Monday and Tuesday, the teams meet again at Chargers Park, competing in intersquad practices.
Ware had 19.5 sacks last year, second most in the league.
"He's a great player, a Pro Bowler," Harris said. "But at left tackle, I've got a big responsibility to protect Philip (Rivers). Any means necessary. I don't care who's lined up against me."
Marines to watch
There will be a special audience for the Chargers' walk-through today.
The team will make its final preparations for the Cowboys at MCAS Miramar before Marines and their families.
Coach Norv Turner called it "one of my favorite days of training camp."
Said cornerback Quentin Jammer: "I have so much respect for those guys. They're all 18, 19 and 20. So much respect. We're here, playing a game, and they absolutely love it. I don't have the heart or courage to do what they do."
The practice will run from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
It's been an annual tradition around the franchise.
"Any way we can give back to the most important piece to this community and of the country, we love to do that," center Nick Hardwick said. "It's fun to pull through the security gates on campus there, to have access to some of that lifestyle. It kind of puts things in perspective for us. We get to do this because of the work that they put in."

HARTSVILLE, S.C. (AP) - A federal investigator says the pilot of an experimental plane that crashed in Hartsville, killing three, had no communication with air traffic control officials.
Todd Gunther of the National Transportation Safety Board said at a news conference Sunday that people on board the plane did talk with others on cellular phones and reported possible problems with the landing gear.
The amateur-built aircraft crashed Saturday evening between two houses in a Hartsville neighborhood. Officials identified those killed as: 29-year-old Joseph Melton Loflin II of Pelzer and his father-in-law, 61-year-old George Thomas Rogers of Society Hill; and 75-year-old Leslie Bradshaw of Hartsville.
Authorities have not said which man was the pilot.
