As we write this, human beings are dying prematurely — from respiratory disease, heart attacks, and lung cancer — due to carbon emissions. Local zoning can help.
HILLTOWNS — A California company has mailed large landowners in the rural Helderbergs, asking to lease their land for solar arrays.
Knox's new supervisor, Vasilios Lefkaditis, needs a board majority to make the changes he says the public wants.
KNOX — The towing business cited in violation of the town's zoning law in January was included in a business district recommended by a 4-to-2 vote of the Knox Planning Board on Feb. 27.

Various lawyers will be meeting with city leaders later this month to discuss the ongoing legal issues surrounding a proposed rock quarry.
An attorney/client meeting, also known as an "executive session," is to be held with the city council Thursday starting at 5 p.m., an hour before their regular meeting, to meet with outside counsel.
Then, on April 18 at 6 p.m., a special session of the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) will be held, also with their attorneys.
The executive sessions come before two key votes set for April 25 -- when the BZA and Shelbyville's planning commission will take a look at matters concerning the quarry, which has been the subject of a $10 million federal lawsuit by Wright Paving.
City manager Jay Johnson said the case was "a very unusual situation" because the city council has one outside attorney working for them, while the BZA has another. That's because while both parties are being sued, the BZA members are being sued individually, Johnson said.
The BZA was ordered by a state appellate judge last November to consider the Wrights' 2004 application for the quarry "at the earliest possible date."
On April 25, the planning commission will meet first to consider the Wrights' site plan for the proposed quarry, while the BZA, which will be examining the permit for conditional use of the land, meets immediately afterward - making two separate and distinct votes.
Johnson said it was "quite possible" that the planning commission could approve the site plan, but the BZA might reject the conditional use - or the opposite could happen.
"There's a whole range of scenarios, they both could approve, they both could deny, whatever," Johnson said.
Because of the court ruling, the quarry is to be reviewed under the zoning ordinance that existed in February 2004, before changes were made which kept the Wrights from building on the site. When the initial application for the quarry was made, residents near the proposed site said blasting would damage their property.
Shelbyville changed an ordinance in 2004 to rezone the Wrights' property so that a quarry was no longer permitted as a conditional use while the application was pending.
The company eventually filed suit, and on appeal it was ruled that the public notice of the zoning amendment had been defective and that the change was void.
The Wrights asked the BZA in 2010 to consider their application again under the property's original 2004 zoning, but the BZA refused to put the application on its meeting agenda. A trial court later found that action was arbitrary and illegal.
Later that year, the Wrights filed the $10 million federal lawsuit, demanding the city, planning commission, BZA and former planning director Ed Dodson be held liable for violating their civil, due process and equal protection rights.
They are also demanding damages for the future use of the property for quarrying, including all consequential damages and lost profits.

House Speaker John Boehner barely held onto his job atop Congress' lower chamber on Thursday. Just how close a call Boehner had is now becoming clear.
Nine House conservatives voted for somebody other than Boehner, two abstained from voting and one voted "present." That total of 12 Republicans who didn't support Boehner was a stone's throw from the required 17 to force a second ballot election – at which point several more Republican members were slated to back a competitor to Boehner's, who would unite the party behind him or her.
Politico has reported the original list of members possibly considering defection from Boehner was longer and included Reps. Rep. Steve King (R-IA) of Iowa, Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) of Wyoming, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) of Arizona, Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ) of New Jersey and Steve Fincher and Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), both of Tennessee.
Politico uncovered this list because Kansas Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) "sat on the House floor during the speaker vote brandishing an iPad" with a message "displayed on the screen ticking off members of the House Republican Conference he hoped would oppose the sitting speaker."
The title of the email message was reportedly: "You would be fired if this goes out."
Breitbart News has confirmed that the following members were considering voting against Boehner retaining his speakership as well: Reps. Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) of South Carolina, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) of Alabama, Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO) of Missouri, Steve Southerland of Florida, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) of South Carolina, Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) of Arizona, Arkansas freshman Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY) of Kentucky.
Reps. Guthrie and Cotton denied to Breitbart News that they were on the list.
"Speaker Boehner was voted out of the Republican Conference unanimously and I never considered not voting for him on the House floor. I do not know where these lists originated and my proposed involvement is completely false," Guthrie said.
Doug Coutts, Chief of Staff for Rep. Cotton, asserted, "Contrary to Breitbart's reporting, Mr. Cotton did not consider voting for anyone other than Speaker Boehner, an intention he stated plainly the morning of the vote on C-SPAN's Washington Journal.
"Further, no one approached Mr. Cotton to ask his support for anyone other than Speaker Boehner, nor did Mr. Cotton engage such conversations."
Breitbart News also learned that outgoing House GOP conference chairman Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) was considering opposing Boehner. Boehner recently named Hensarling to be the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee in the next Congress.
All in all, there were more than 20 House Republicans who were considering unseat Boehner. Many of these members bailed on the movement at the last minute on the House floor.
There did appear to be at one point a chance Boehner wouldn't regain his position during the happenings on the House floor. The Clerk of the House had reached the end of her list of names to call when Boehner reached 216 votes – he needed 217 to win re-election. As the National Review's Washington, D.C., editor Robert Costa noted on Twitter, there were 17 Republican members either not voting, voting present or voting for someone other than Boehner. "So: In short, we were over 17 for a minute, looking at 2nd ballot, when the conservatives come to floor, save Boehner from 2nd ballot," Costa wrote.
Then, as Costa notes, Bachmann, Tennessee Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and New Jersey's Scott Garrett came back to the floor – after ignoring their names being called the first time during the alphabetical roll call – and voted for Boehner.
"Boehner is fine, people/ He will be reelected. Blackburn, Bachmann, and Garrett saved him," Costa said of those conservatives saving Boehner. "What a story. What a story."
This article has been updated to include responses from Rep. Guthrie and a representative of Rep. Cotton.

Rapid Response just like that old party standby Celebrity with phrases standing in for stars. This social skill-builder has players guessing the phrase on the card based on the descriptions given by their teammate. Players need to work together and use their time management skills, because if the marbles run out your turn is over. For every correct answer teams climb a step and the first team to the top of the steps wins. This game is great for helping develop vocabulary skills and teamwork.

An HTML page that contains a form may use a CGI program to process the form's data once it has been submitted. For example: a user visits a Web page looking for specific information on a topic and finds that the Web page offers an e-mail newsletter service. In order for the user to receive the newsletter, he must fill out a CGI form with all of his applicable information. The form is then sent to the server using CGI, and the server processes the information that was sent in the form in order to add the user to its database and initiate the user's newsletter service.

Some comic actors are better identified by their characters they portray, like Ken Marino: You may know him as Auggie's slacker step-dad; a Jewish summer camp counselor/unlikely virgin; or a Los Angeles caterer and future Soup R' Crackers franchise owner.

Bad Veins Splits in Two
Cincy Indie Pop duo loses drummer; frontman vows to carry on with new lineup
One of Cincinnati's finest Indie acts, the brilliant Bad Veins, has split in two. Last night, BV's singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist Benjamin Davis took to the group's website to announce that founding member, drummer Sebastien Schultz, has decided to "move on from his time with Bad Veins." Schultz — previously the drummer for local Indie rockers Cathedrals — had been a member of Bad Veins since almost the very beginning; Davis' first Bad Veins show was a solo affair opening for late Cincy duo wil-o-ee. As the pair told me for a 2008 CityBeat cover story, Schutlz was at the show (though he left early) and joined shortly after. He's played on all of BV's releases, including the most recent LP, The Mess We've Made, and toured extensively with Davis for the past five-plus years. Thankfully for BV fans, this is not the end of the group. "The show must go on!" Davis said in his website post, expressing excitement for Bad Veins' future:"I'm going to use this opportunity to do something I've been thinking about for a while, and take Bad Veins in a bigger direction, adding others members, bass, keyboard etc. I've already received a number of offers from musicians to join but haven't made any decisions yet. If anyone has any recommendations, hit me up! The plan is to get back on the road this spring!"We had heard rumblings about the split prior to this past Sunday's Cincinnati Entertainment Awards. Davis ended up opening the show solo (with taped backing), closing his set with a great, orchestral version of The Muppets' "Rainbow Connection." (The CEA show was filmed and will be airing locally on cable; a special, limited-edition DVD will also be available — stay tuned.)Bad Veins is booked to play an all-ages show presented by the Counter Rhythm Group on Feb. 16 at Rohs Street Cafe in Clifton Heights along with PUBLIC and The Ridges.

CEAs 2013: Local Music Love Fest
Sixteenth Cincinnati Entertainment Awards was another epic celebration of local music
On Sunday night, hundreds of local musicians — as well as the many of the fans who love them — had Covington's Madison Theater packed to capacity to celebrate the 16th annual Cincinnati Entertainment Awards. It was another love fest, as the music, laughs, camaraderie and drinks flowed throughout the tight three-hour ceremony/party CityBeat founded over a decade and a half ago as a means of honoring Greater Cincinnati's music makers (and, originally, local theater artists and productions). Though it has lessened over the years as more people have grown to understand the CEAs better, there is still plenty of griping about the awards every year. The vast majority of complaints are about who gets nominated. It's understandable in light of the talent that is overlooked annually. Having so many talented and deserving artists in our city making quality music is a good problem to have. But if every worthy musical act in the Tri-State area were to be nominated for a CEA each year, the categories would include dozens of nominees and the show itself would have to be a sleepover affair. You think the Oscars are too long? Sit through one 16-hour CEA show and you'll be begging for a witty Billy Crystal musical number.Like every year, the sport of CEA bashing is quickly forgotten once inside the venue for the ceremony. The awards celebration is the one time of the year where fellow musicians from every genre — some friends already, some friends-to-be, others perhaps only known via social media messages — gather in one place. There doesn't seem to be a ton of competitive spite within our music scene and the musicians I've talked and worked with, for the most part, are always pretty down to earth. (As if on cue, the griping returned right after the show — a comment on Sunday night's blog post featuring the winners of this year's awards deemed the whole program an embarrassment. Sixteen years of my life, wasted! Oh, anonymous trolls, where would you be without the internet?)The CEAs can't help but become a communal love fest. (Yes, the drinking probably helps this quite a bit, as well.) In general, there seems to be a lot of internal support amongst local musicians, and it feels like external support and appreciation (outside of jerky, anonymous comments) is on an upswing. The CEAs are always a great reflection of that community spirit. Ben Davis of Indie Pop duo Bad Veins kicked off the CEAs with his trademark taped accompaniment, but without bandmate, drummer Sebastien Schultz. Davis' performance was still compelling, capped off by that timeless ode to magic and mystery, The Muppets' chestnut, "Rainbow Connection." The singer/multi-instrumentalist set the tone (and the bar) for the night's performances, which included plenty of revelations and some fun, novel surprises. Those unexpected moments are always the performance highlights of any awards show and this year's CEA lineup and production provided loads of highlights. Local Boogie Woogie torchbearer Ricky Nye rumbled through a great set of rollicking Blues, building up to a cool collaborative climax as Blake Taylor and Jonathan Reynolds of fellow CEA "Blues" category nominees 46 Long joined the pianist/singer. Nye and 46 Long had been embroiled in a mock online feud leading up to the show. Music heals! (Nye ended up winning the category.)International Punk sensations The Dopamines gave the show a jolt with their explosive performance, launching into Guided By Voices' "A Salty Salute," but only after bassist Jon Weiner managed to insult nerds and "old fucks" in his introduction (they're "Punk," he reminded everyone later). From there, the trio launched into a mini-set of their own adrenalized anthems with fiery swagger. Fans were made.The same can be said for singer Jess Lamb, the soulful vocalist who wowed the crowd with a few hypnotic songs, joined by her guitarist and bassist (who doubled on throbbing kick-drum). The sparse set-up belied the soaring sounds conjured, guided by Lamb's remarkable voice. Lamb was nominated for a CEA in the R&B/Funk/Soul category, a testament to her unique sound, which comes closer to resembling Florence and the Machine than, say, Usher. We may need to create an "Alternative/Soul/Rock" category to accommodate Lamb next year. The Hip Hop/Rock band Gold Shoes are also keen hybridizers, and their CEA performance was a great display of the group's unique spin on Hip Hop fusion. The band provides a dynamic backdrop that's spiced with elements of Funk, Rock, Pop, Jazz and beyond. But the group isn't just providing a playground for frontman Buggs Tha Rocka to unleash his tight, captivating flow. The group writes melodic songs with strong, unique chorus hooks. Their CEA performance was a clinic on how to combine Hip Hop with other types of music without sounding like a cheap Pop grab (" … featuring Adam Lavine!"), Gym Class Heroes or, God help us all, Limp Bizkit. The Cincinnati USA Music Heritage Foundation, which provided a great experience for VIP ticket buyers in the balcony, reminded everyone of the Queen City's place in shaping popular music with a segment presented by the group's president, musician Marvin Hawkins. After talking a bit about the organization's plans to continue honoring the area's rich musical past in 2013 (expect a lot of King Records-related events in honor of the locally-based groundbreaking label's 70th anniversary), Hawkins joined a host of local Roots musicians for a spin through a pair of songs from the recent collection, The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams, a project spearhead by Bob Dylan that involved writing songs from a cache of unearthed lyrics written by the American music icon. The all-star band assembled — including Magnolia Mountain's Mark Utley and Renee Frye, David Rhodes Brown and Sylvia Mitchell — expertly played songs they had recorded at the Music Heritage Foundation's downtown headquarters, in the same space once occupied by Herzog studios, the site where Williams recorded "Lovesick Blues" and other classics. The CEA show itself ran smoothly and first-time host Ted Clark proved to be a great fit for the show. Clark's deadpan, sardonic humor — familiar to those who flock to his "live talk shows" at MOTR Pub — was reminiscent of Zach Galifianakis and sometimes he had great lines that were maybe to subtle for the CEA's "party atmosphere." But from those of us paying attention — bravo, Mr. Clark.There was an array of entertaining acceptance styles from the winners, ranging from choked-up and sincere to pumped-up and enthusiastic to more matter-of-fact. Wussy had a huge night, taking home the Album of the Year (for Strawberry) and Artist of the Year CEAs, capped by some funny lines while accepting. Drummer Joe Klug joked that, for anyone doubting they deserved the Artist award, Wussy "played Little Rock, Ark., four times in the past year."The award presenters — a collection of local music supporters and personalities, mostly from radio and press outlets, as well as sponsor reps — did a great job hammering home the "support local music" message of the CEAs' mission. But presenter and CityBeat Arts and Culture Editor Jac Kern provided one of the funniest bits in CEA history with her tribute to Beyonce — via a soon-cut-off lip-synced performance of the National Anthem. Culture Queer capped off the show (or warmed up the after party?) with a set that captured the fun of the night, rocking out a trio of quirky, animated Electro Indie Art Pop gems with their trademark film backdrop. The sprightly CEA trophy hostesses came out for some dancing on finale "Born Again," their funky get-ups matching CQ's twitchy, offbeat anthem — and the jubilant, colorful energy of the entire night — perfectly.Click here to see who won what and here for some photos from the event. The CEAs were filmed this year and will be airing on local cable soon. Keep an eye on this blog for dates and times.

Cincinnati Entertainment Awards: The Winners
The winners from tonight's epic CEA blowout at the Madison Theater
It was another epic Cincinnati Entertainment Awards ceremony tonight at the Madison Theater, as a full house celebrated some of the best Greater Cincinnati music has to offer. And drank. A lot.The show went off great, with some excellent live performances from nominees and lots of fun from new host Ted Clark. I'll have more on the CEA show tomorrow (the afterparty is still in full effect as I type this), but gotta give props to CityBeat's own Jac Kern, who provided one of the funniest moments in CEA history before presenting the CEA for Hip Hop. Beyonce ain't got nothing on you, Jac! More tomorrow (fear not — the show will actually be broadcast on cable this year; details coming soon), but, in the meantime, here's who won what at tonight's ceremony. Wussy — which has been on a serious roll since releasing the fantastic Strawberry near the end of 2011 (it made the cut-off for this year's awards, since the album came out around the same time as the last CEAs) — had the best night, taking home both the Artist of the Year and Album of the Year CEAs. Congrats to all of the nominees and winners and everyone who showed up to party.

The 16th annual Cincinnati Entertainment Awards — honoring Greater Cincinnati's local music scene — take place at the Madison Theater in Covington this Sunday, featuring live performances from Bad Veins, The Dopamines, Jess Lamb, Gold Shoes, Ricky Nye and much more.
'Girls' Just Want To Have Funk
Along with their fun live shows, DAAP Girls' "Gutter Funk and Rock 'n' Soul" is earning a local following
Derek Halsey
0 Comments · Wednesday, January 16, 2013
The band known as the DAAP Girls is made up of all guys, has barely anything to show as far as web-presence and has yet to release any music. Still, they have been chosen as a nominee for the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards' New Artist of the Year, and rightly so.
Exploring the Country Side
Jeremy Pinnell and the 55s make honest old-school Country music with an edge

These days, it's more and more unusual to see a so-called "Country music band" that features a pedal steel guitar onstage. Now, in Cincinnati, believe it or not, there is band carrying a steel guitarist called Jeremy Pinnell and the 55s.
Hotter Than Hell's Heavy Hinges
Heavy Hinges exude the joy and channel the sadness of their first year together
Brian Baker

The New Artist nomination for Heavy Hinges might be the most ironic of this year's slate of Cincinnati Entertainment Awards candidates.

Then without a smile he walked back to the pile, picked up another sheet, and walked back over to place it in another spot on Mike's lap. Rinse, lather, repeat about 50 times. Here's the scene:
Grabbing a paper from the stack behind.
Placing on Daddy's lap.
Opening paper for more coverage.
This continued on for at least 20 minutes.
With a look of sheer determination.
Until the last sheet of newspaper was moved.

Here's a news flash for you all: we're lame! At least when it comes to promotion, updating sites, etc. As many have noticed we haven't been here in a while. That's not because we haven't had anything to talk about. It's because... well, we're lame. Anyway. A couple things to mention: first, our song "Darker Than The Mine" off "Pile High The Pennywall" is on the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast's list of the top 20 Celtic Songs of 2015, alongside our pals Runa and the Elders. (Interesting note, "Bourbon and Shamrocks," out of Alabama, another band on the list the year, have a Youtube video of them performing BRB's "Stand With Me Boys," which topped this same list in 2009.) We're very proud to be on this list and grateful to the Podcast's creator Marc Gunn, for all he does to promote Irish music. This is the most downloaded Irish Podcast in the world and deservedly so. In other news, the Stanley Theater will be once again presenting "An Irish Night At The Stanley," which was wildly successful last year. This year's show on April 8 will feature Central New York's three favorite Celtic bands, The Elders, Hair of the Dog and the Blarney Rebel Band and, for reasons someone else will have to explain to you, will be your only chance to see these three bands together at the same venue this year. Tickets are $18, $28, $38, and $48. Reserve your seats at The Stanley box office (M-F, 10am-3pm), by phone at 315-724-4000 or through the Stanley website.

Stocks jump; Dow posts best gain in 2 weeks
NEW YORK — Stocks posted their biggest jump in nearly two weeks Tuesday. Investors picked up cheaply priced stocks after fears that the U.S. would slip into a recession pounded the market during the last month.
The Dow jumped 322.11 points, its best day since Aug. 11, when it gained 423.
The Dow, which tracks 30 huge U.S. companies including IBM Corp. and General Electric Co., closed with a gain of 3 percent at 11,176.76. Indexes that track smaller stocks did even better, a sign that investors were more willing to take on risk.
The S&P 500 index rose 38.53 points, or 3.4 percent, to 1,162.35. The Nasdaq composite index, which tracks mainly technology companies, rose 100.68 points, or 4.3 percent, to 2,446.06. The Russell 2000 index of smaller U.S. companies gained even more, 4.9 percent.
S&P chief resigns; fund seeks parent split
NEW YORK — The president of Standard & Poor's is stepping down just two weeks after the rating agency stripped the United States of its AAA credit rating. At the same time, an activist hedge fund is calling for S&P's parent to break into four separate companies to unlock more value for shareholders.
McGraw-Hill Cos., the parent company, said the resignation of Deven Sharma was not related to Jana Partners' breakup proposal or to S&P's polarizing decision to downgrade its rating on U.S. debt. McGraw-Hill named Citibank's chief operating officer, Douglas Peterson, to the S&P job late Monday.
Jana Partners, which had also called for new leadership at S&P, issued a terse response Tuesday to Mr. Peterson's appointment. "Recognizing the need for help at S&P will be useful," the firm said in a statement, "but to address years of chronic underperformance for its shareholders McGraw-Hill will need to take much bolder steps."
Representatives from Jana Partners and the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, which together own more than 5 percent of McGraw-Hill's shares, presented a 26-slide show to McGraw-Hill leaders Monday.
New-home sales fall, 2011 could be worst year
Sales of new homes fell for the third straight month in July, a sign that housing remains a drag on the economy. If the current pace continues, 2011 would be the worst year for new-home sales on records dating back at least half a century.
Sales fell nearly 1 percent in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 298,000, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. That's less than half the 700,000 that economists say represent a healthy market.
Last year, 323,000 homes were sold, the worst year on records that go back to 1963.
While new homes represent less than one-fifth of the housing market, they have an outsize impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs and $90,000 in taxes, according to the National Association of Home Builders.

Orr's great goal
Orr brought more offense to defense
By Larry Schwartz
Special to ESPN.com
"Every kid in the sixties and the early seventies grew up in Canada saying I want to be like Bobby Orr," says Wayne Gretzky on ESPN Classic's SportsCentury series.
Orr radically altered the style of hockey by introducing defensemen to the offensive side of the game. A defenseman who scored goals, rushed the puck up ice, set up teammates with pinpoint passes. It was a revolutionary concept.
"He changed the sport by redefining the parameters of his position," wrote Sports Illustrated's E.M. Swift. "A defenseman, as interpreted by Orr, became both a defender and an aggressor, both a protector and a producer. Orr was more than an opportunist: He created opportunities."
Orr's style generated a new wave of offensive-minded defenseman, such as Denis Potvin and Paul Coffey, Ray Bourque and Brian Leetch. But as outstanding as they were, they couldn't compare with Boston's legendary No. 4.
The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Orr excited fans with rink-length rushes. His shot was a low black dart, blistering and accurate. He quarterbacked the Bruins from the point. He also played with reckless abandon, sacrificing his body as he dived to block shots. He possessed a toughness in addition to grace, skill and speed.
Orr accomplished something that even players as magnificent as Gordie Howe and Rocket Richard couldn't - become the first player to win three consecutive MVPs.
Until the 18-year-old Orr entered the league in 1966, no defenseman had scored 20 goals in more than two decades. Orr did it seven straight seasons (1968-69 until 1974-75), five times scoring more than 30 goals, and once 46. Twice he won the Art Ross Trophy for leading the league in scoring (that's twice more than any defenseman in the game's history).
No defenseman besides Orr has ever led the league in assists; he did it five times. Not only was Orr the first defenseman to record 100 assists in a season, he was the first player to do so.
At the end of Orr's Rookie of the Year season in 1967, Harry Howell won the Norris Trophy as the league's best defenseman. "I'm glad I won it now," he said, "because it's going to belong to that Orr from now on."
It did - for the next eight years. He probably would have continued to have piled up the trophies even longer were it not for his ravaged knees, which allowed him to play more than 60 games in just eight seasons. There were a half-dozen operations on his knees. In his final three-plus seasons, he could play a total of only 36 games.
"Nobody is a perfect hockey player," Montreal Canadiens Hall of Famer Jean Beliveau said. "The important thing is to correct your mistakes. Orr, he does that. He is always there. He blocks the shots. He can skate. He can shoot. Is there anything more?"
Well, you could lead your team to a couple of Stanley Cups, and Orr did that too. When the Bruins won it all in 1970, with Orr scoring the most famous goal in hockey history, it was the first time they skated with the Cup since 1941. Since Orr left the Bruins, they have yet to drink from another Cup.
He was born on March 20, 1948 in Parry Sound, Ontario, the third of five children. Upon leaving the delivery room, his mother, Avra, was warned that the child might not live. But he quickly took a turn for the better and was thriving by the next morning.
Robert Orr came from athletic stock. He was named after his grandfather, who before emigrating to Canada played professional soccer in Ireland. His father, Doug, was offered a hockey contract with a Bruins' farm club during World War II, but instead entered the Royal Canadian Navy.
Bobby began skating at four and the next year he was playing organized hockey. At 12, at 5-foot-2 and 110 pounds, he was considered a potential pro. During a tournament with the Parry Sound Bantam All-Stars, playing with older boys, the Bruins spotted him while they were scouting two other players. Orr played 58 minutes (the other two minutes were spent in the penalty box) and was the game's best performer.
Two years later, the Bruins signed him for $2,800 with the agreement that he could live at home and commute to home games three hours away. At 14, the 127-pound defenseman was playing junior hockey in Oshawa with 19- and 20-year-olds. He made all-league second-team.
By the time he was 16, he was pictured on the cover of Maclean's, the national magazine of Canada. It was clear that Orr was the most remarkable player to come along since Howe.
When he was 18, Orr took the unusual step of having a lawyer, Alan Eagleson represented him and he reportedly signed for $50,000 for two years and a $25,000 bonus, the biggest contract ever received by a rookie at that time.
Orr was assigned No. 27 in 1966, but he soon switched to No. 4. "He was a star from the moment they played the national anthem in the opening game of his rookie year," Boston coach Harry Sinden said.
New England fans adored Orr, who scored 13 goals, was named Rookie of the Year and all-league second-team. However, not even Orr could stop Boston from extending its streak to eight consecutive seasons without qualifying for the playoffs.
He came into his own two years later, in 1969-70, becoming the only player to ever win all four major awards - Hart (MVP), Art Ross (scoring), Norris and Conn Smythe (MVP of the playoffs) - in the same season. His 87 assists set an NHL record and his 120 points were the most ever for a defenseman.
His dream season ended with Orr flying - literally. After scoring the winning goal past goalie Glenn Hall in the last game of the Stanley Cup finals, a four-game sweep of the St. Louis Blues, Orr was hooked and sent airborne, where he was immortalized in the most famous picture in hockey history.
In 1970-71, he notched 102 assists and scored a career-high 139 points.
The next season, Orr won his second playoff MVP in leading the Bruins to their last Cup. After the Rangers had lost in six games in the final to Boston, in which Orr scored four goals, Rod Gilbert said, "Hockey is a team game, right? One man is not supposed to beat a whole team."
Orr scored 46 goals and won the scoring title with 135 points in 1974-75, but it was his last hurrah. His career was ended effectively at 27 and officially at 30 after three-plus injury-plagued seasons (10 games with Boston in 1975-76 and 26 games over two seasons and a month with Chicago after signing a $3-million, five-year contract as a free agent).
When he tearfully retired on Nov. 8, 1978, he had scored 270 goals and 951 points in 657 games - that's 1.4 points per game, a remarkable average for a defenseman.
Orr spends much of his time involved in charity work, playing golf and running his sports agency.
As far as his place in history, let's give Sports Illustrated's Frank Deford the final word: "It's not necessary to get into who may be better, Orr, the defenseman, or Wayne Gretzky, the center, except to note that Orr did something that Gretzky had no opportunity to do, and that was change the very nature of the game."

And those lights are NOT mine, though.
Watch this space.
And those lights are NOT mine, though.
Sorry for not replying soon. This IS free. Just download, extract to your custom stories folder, and play. If you think this is a game, it's not. You'll need Amnesia The Dark Descent to play this.
Those modern lights are also in different custom stories. Like White Night. That ain't a problem at all.
There is a certain entity (check picture "Modern Lights") that is a file which the editor can access, but after it is restarted, it (somehow) accesses the file, but fails to locate it no matter where the file is. Be it the entities folder, my CS' folder, regardless, it fails to locate it. It appears in the editor and seems to work, but in-game it doesn't appear. But I really need those entities (part of the story). But this issue appeared 4 days ago (couldn't fix this) so my only option was to completely change the story or discontinue it. I always get the "Found some errors while loading map. Check log file for details. File index out of bounds!" error each time I load the fourth map (the final map for Demo 2.5), and the lights either go missing, either they use a different light entity, or it remains the same way, except in-game. So, no go. And for some reason, the 5th map (new map) doesn't seem to work. It always says the script file has an unexpected end, but it's complete (i've checked over 52 times), and tried to run it in a different script file for a different map.
So, discontinuation is the only thing I can do. But if you're afraid of horror, it's better for it to be short than long and storydriven with puzzles (if you're bad at them). I don't know how will I release it. But it will come soon (if I can somehow finish the map without that "File index..." error I mentioned above. Each time I start a map, that error appears, even if it's empty! And a random entity, entity type or static object disappears.
TY for the post. Not the best I made, but I'm happy with it.
Well, I could make something like that, but leave the ending to me. Not saying that your suggestion is bad, it fits, but I get to decide wether or not it will fit. If I'll make this short, then I may make this kind of ending, if I'll make this longer, then IDK. It depends, but good suggestion.
Doesn't it look different (realistic)? The ImageTrail does it all!
Yeah, but you might need to wait some time. In the meantime, check back for updates. More pics, music, maybe some surprises as well! lol for the feedback. The well idea, I was like "I could make the player fall down a well and end up somewhere, while giving the impression that it's neverending." And this is the result. I'm happy with it!
Another satisfied player! I'm feeling happy. There's more on the way, but that will be in the full version which I don't know when to announce...
Yeah, but no comments for so long seem unnatural. To me, at least. But anyone could comment about the pics, music, download, etc. That's what feels unnatural to me, though...
I like this part as well. This is an area after the demo (wasn't in Demo 2.5 at all).
Visit my youtube channel for more trailers and stuff.
Also with a playthrough of SCP 087 B (explaining and stuff)
I like this part... a lot!
Hey, my name is Robert as well! I guess you picked that name by accident... not that I don't like it, just found it funny!
No comments? Feeling like I'm very boring for the community.
A really creepy one. My back shivers just listening to it. That's just me, though...
Where will you land? Say your thought here.
What does this remind you of? Say your thought here!
Yeah, and that's the trick here!
If you want to listen to the music I upload, check the videos tab, you'll find plenty of music there (Soon).
Found the song that SCP 087 B uses! 4 Minutes long.
More creepy music is on the way!
I'm going and going, and I'm working on custom sounds (audacity) and I'm planning things up. This will take a while, though. Now checking the LP's.
How many maps does this have?
Two ways to go. Which one will you take? Say your thought here.
You ain't the only one.
Favourite part!
That sound you heard at the end of the gameplay trailer (before the text appears) was made by me. The rest are from SCP 087 B.

Debi Metcalfe and Stolen Horse International are the gold standard when you encounter a situation involving a missing or stolen horse, whether you found the horse or lost the horse. The thoughtful care and personal attention Debi gives every case is inspiring because she has personal experience with h ow it feels to have your horse taken. As an equine attorney in North Carolina and director on the NC Horse Council board I am often asked about situations where there is a horse missing (or found) and a referral to Debi is virtually always in order. The results SHI regularly produces are amazing!Dottie Burch - NC Equine Attorney, Ragsdale Liggett, PLLC, 7/25/2015
Stolen Horse International/NetPosse.com is a program that is very special for the horse industry and made up of great horseman. I will always appreciate and support the well being of horses. NetPosse.com is all about that! Thanks for your dedication and passion for the horse and their loving owners!Lynn Palm - Palm Partnership Training, 7/25/2015
I've been closely acquainted with Debi Metcalfe and her mission, Stolen Horse International and Netposse.com, for several years. I believe Debi has a unique call to this work, and her efforts have been invaluable in preventing animal theft, as well as reuniting stolen horses with their rightful owners. This was a difficult field to enter, on several fronts, and Debi donates countless hours (and a considerable amount of cash) to educating horse owners about horse theft, and providing practical means to prevent it. I applaud Debi's perseverance, and wish her continued success on the journey.Brenda Imus -Gaited Horse Author and Clinician, 7/25/2015

Wintertale FREE
Soviet Games
- December 23, 2011
( 2,930)
A short visual novel, New Year greeting card from Eroge-team, featuring characters from our upcoming project "Everlasting Summer". English and russian languages avaible.
This is free although FULL version.
Not really a good start. A confusing story written in poor english. It seems bent on introducing everyone but explains little. The end was cute but ultimately kind of dull.
Cute, but not very engaging. This was an adorable little story and the art is really beautiful. I'm glad there is an english translation. I was going that out would be at least a little interactive with dialog choices, but for a free story I can't complain.
It was great but short and more thing i like about it, is that its somewhat connected to everlasting summer which was a good long interactive visual novel i saw some of the characyer from everlasting summer like ulyanna zhenya and many more and i got to say ulyanna looks cute in this Everlasting summer and wintertale
Flawless!!! If I could rate 10 stars, I would. Before I knew it, I was caught up in the story... I could almost feel every detail of the story. Perfect!!! -Droid Inc
Ennui The illustration artwork is really pretty. The story is effective in making the reader feel the same boredom & restlessness that the main character feels. The backstory does not explain how the main character got to feel this way.
Great, short, amazing. What else can I say? The story was short true but this was just a fantastic novel. Really hit home and despite having some translation errors it was all worth it seeing how everything played out and to see the ending was heart warming.
What's New
version 1.0
Sequel of self-made GYARUGE NOeSIS, is emergence. Because there is a play volume of about 20 hours, it is perfect for killing time.
The latest that cinematic novel "infinity-S" the novel reads like a movie to send "twilight Wiz - Twilight Invocation -"

Obviously, you don't get my points. For ENRON, Worldcom, and Lehman Brothers, the market was telling you to stay away or get out before they were filed for bankruptcy, but egos or stupidity of people like you didn't want to accept, or they were denial. Sure the market is the people. But everyone thinks differently, but not the market.

STACEY DAVIES on Apr 5, 2016
Awesome French country cottage kitchen curtain! Great quality! Fast shipping to the U.S. Love it!
My Journey
It all started when we crossed the English Channel and set up home in a small village in southern rural France not far from the Mediterranean. I fell in love with the traditional linen and lace curtains which the French use to dress their windows with their light airy feel and elegant styling.
What's unique about Linen & Letters?
Inspired by my French experience and now back in "Blighty" I have created an original range of linen and cotton curtains designed for use as kitchen cafe curtains, romantic bedroom panels, tie up privacy shades for bathroom sash windows and welcoming sidelights for front doors. I make my curtains from quality European linen available in several neutral colours. I use the lightest most delicate French open weave which allows the sunlight to shine through and also a medium weight linen if privacy is an issue. I incorporate heirloom sewing techniques into making my curtains and source of variety of cotton laces and trims. They all can be personalised with machine embroidered monograms or designs and I offer a selection of coloured embroidery threads so you can match to your decor. They make ideal wedding gifts, personalized items for your home or can enhance a brand for a boutique business.
I am passionate about providing a personal, high quality of service and a professional standard of workmanship. I hope you'll find a window curtain that suits your needs but I would be delighted to hear from you if you have something else in mind or if you are re decorating and need help choosing a style.

We've been fiddling with team WAR totals since a researcher named Glenn DuPaul (a student at Lehigh) did a study that showed that adding the sum of a team's Wins Above Replacement (per Baseball-Reference) added to 52, gives you a reasonable chance of projecting that team's win total.
What is WAR?
With that in mind, we figured we'd see what it would take to get the Yankees to 90 wins, since it would stand to reason that that would put them in strong contention for the postseason.
Let's hit on five key points from what we're figuring:
Robinson Cano plays like Robinson Cano
In the last three seasons, Robinson Cano has averaged a value of 7 Wins Above Replacement. Let's say he reaches that total again. It doesn't seem that unrealistic.
The starting rotation lives up to expectations
I worked off the idea that the Yankees rotation would have a 5-4-3-2-1 value. In other words, 5 WAR for CC Sabathia, 4 for Hiroki Kuroda, 3 for Andy Pettitte, 2 for Ivan Nova and 1 for David Phelps.
Each of those pitchers, other than Pettitte, has reached that value within the last two seasons (a 3 WAR for Pettitte would equate roughly to what he did in 2009).
Sabathia was a 7-WAR pitcher in 2011 and a 3-WAR in 2012, so we split the difference to get his number. Kuroda was worth 5.2 last season. We may even be a little low on Ivan Nova (a 3-WAR in 2011) and Phelps (a 2-WAR last season).
The injured guys amount to something
Trying to project numbers for Mark Teixeira, Derek Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Alex Rodriguez, Michael Pineda, and Phil Hughes is really hard because you don't know how significantly each injury is going to impact performance.
Projected Wins Above Replacement
Yankees Best-Case Scenario
Since we're trying to give a best-case scenario, let's assign that quintet 8 Wins Above Replacement.
Maybe that amounts to 3-WAR for Teixeira, 2 for Granderson, and an average of 1 apiece for the other four.
Returns to Form
In 2011, even as his decline was beginning, Kevin Youkilis posted a 3.7 WAR. In 2012, he plummeted to a 1.4.
If Youkilis can make up half the difference between 2011 and 2012, that gets him to 2.5 WAR. That would be better than the 2-WAR that Rodriguez posted in 2012.
Brett Gardner was a 7-WAR player in 2010 and there were many skeptics that he was that valuable. He posted a 3.7 WAR in 2011 and what's to say he couldn't have a similar season. For the purposes of this project, we put him at 3-WAR.
Some may have scoffed at the Ichiro Suzuki signing, declaring that a lot of money for a 38-year-old. Let's put him down for 1-WAR in 2013 … essentially the average of his WAR totals the last two seasons.
Mariano Rivera has looked like the old Mariano Rivera in his limited work this spring. The old Rivera has been worth at least 2.4 WAR every season from 2008 to 2011. Rafael Soriano was worth 2.6 WAR last season. Let's assign Rivera 2.5 WAR.
They're not as bad as you might think now
If we're going to project this season to go well, you have to think that someone in the Travis Hafner, Juan Rivera, Vernon Wells and Brennan Boesch mix is going to be a decent player.
In 2011, Hafner hit at a .280/.361/.449 rate and was worth 1.3 WAR without playing a day in the field. It seems reasonable to think that someone could do that, right?
Let's say that two guys from this list do. And that the other two are more along the lines of Raul Ibanez, 2012 -- .240/.308/.453 with negative defensive value. That season was worth about 0.3 WAR.
Add it all together and we give these four a 3-WAR total.
The catchers don't hurt them
Those who feel that the Yankees are punting their catcher position should consider this: Russell Martin was worth 1.5 Wins Above Replacement last season.
The challenge will be in squeezing 162 games out of Francisco Cervelli and Chris Stewart. Both have performed respectably in backup roles, particularly Stewart, whose defense elevated him to 1.4 WAR with the Giants in 2011.
Since we're being optimistic, let's give them Martin's value from last season.
There are going to be some rough patches
The Yankees have not had a lot of bad players over the last three seasons. When we say bad, we're talking about those who bring negative WAR value to a team. In 2010, the Yankees had -4.8 WAR worth of bad players, in 2011 -4.4 and 2012, -2.4.
We didn't mention Dan Johnson, Eduardo Nunez or David Aardsma in this piece. They may turn out fine. But they also struck us as the most likely to be worth 0.0 WAR or less. In the beginning of the season, those guys will see time and likely weed themselves out as players return from injuries.
We figured it would be a little worse for the Yankees, even thinking optimistically, than the last few seasons. So we assigned a group of players -6.0 WAR to account for that.
In sum
Our goal was to show a scenario by which the Yankees could get to 38 WAR. We've more than done that. The roster at right totaled 42.3 WAR.
What does that equate to in wins? Let's consider the history:
From 2003 to 2012, there have been 25 teams whose player WAR summed to between 41 and 45. Their win totals ranged from 86 to 105. They averaged 94.7 wins.
Is that a realistic best-case for the Yankees? Let us know what you think in the comments.

MILAN (Reuters) - European Union foreign ministers met in Italy on Friday to find what a diplomatic source said would be a clear message on sanctions for EU heads of states to make to Russia over its actions in Ukraine.
EU leaders meet at a summit in Brussels on Saturday.
The five-month conflict in Ukraine reached a dangerous point this week after NATO said on Thursday that well over 1,000 Russian troops had crossed the Ukrainian border and were fighting alongside pro-Moscow separatists.
Russia says it has no involvement in the conflict that is pitting the rebels against the Ukrainian military, but EU foreign ministers were clearly not persuaded.
"We have to react, we should show solidarity to our neighbours," said Danish Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard as he entered the meeting chaired by Italy, the current EU president.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, speaking from Amsterdam, said tougher sanctions against Russia should be considered.
At the end of July, the EU and the United States announced sanctions against Russia, targeting its energy, banking and defence sectors. Previously the EU had only imposed sanctions against certain individuals and organisations accused of direct involvement in threatening Ukraine.
Poland said Russian "aggression" had created the most serious security crisis in Europe for decades and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier warned of a possible broader conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
"If the situation continues to worsen, finding a political situation becomes more and more difficult," he said.
Fighting in eastern Ukraine erupted in April, a month after Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula in response to the toppling of a pro-Moscow president in Kiev.
A U.N. report this week said more than 2,200 people had been killed, not including the 298 who died when a Malaysian airliner was shot down over rebel-held territory in July.
