Clinton walks
Ankle bracelets & political fashion
In the same month that the Senate voted not to remove Bill Clinton for lying under oath about sex, a woman who was prosecuted by the Clinton Administration for the same offense finishes her six-month home detention period. Barbara Battalino is a former Veterans Administration psychiatrist who pleaded guilty to lying under oath in a civil case about sex with a patient. During her six-month penalty, Ms. Battalino had to wear a beeper to monitor her movements, and couldn't leave her home on weekends. She also had to pay a $3,500 fine. "I was very disappointed with the senators," she told CNBC's Chris Matthews. "It was very shocking to me that they would put self-interest and partisanship above what was right and what is just." With the Senate trial over, the Clinton family is weighing its future political prospects, and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton is considering a run for New York's open U.S. Senate seat in 2000. Mrs. Clinton promised she would give "careful thought" to the decision. While the conventional wisdom in Washington holds that she would be a shoo-in, some closer to New York aren't so sure. Veteran Democrats remember that she once argued for a Palestinian state, a hot-button issue among New York's Jewish voters. Many party operatives just hope she will decide soon. They worry that Hillary's public pondering of the race is freezing fundraising for other possible candidates. man knows not his time
Ehrlichman: Half of the 'wall' falls
As Bill Clinton was beating the rap in the Senate, convicted Watergate conspirator John Ehrlichman was dying at his home in Atlanta. He spent his last years in green pastures: When he got out of prison after 18 months (for obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and perjury), the former presidential aide became senior vice president of Law Environmental, a law firm specializing in environmental regulatory compliance. Before the scandal, Mr. Ehrlichman had a heavy hand in turning environmentalism from an Earth Day fad into a federal mandate. A framer of the EPA, he helped drive a raft of green laws through Congress, including the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act. Mr. Ehrlichman and President Nixon's chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, wielded massive power in the White House. They were virtually indistinguishable to the public and known as the "Berlin Wall" because of their ability to keep Mr. Nixon away from unwelcome encounters. But when Watergate came, Mr. Ehrlichman was left twisting slowly, slowly in the wind. He was sentenced in 1976 after his false testimony to a Senate committee about his role in the 1971 break-in at the office of Lewis Fielding. Dr. Fielding was a psychiatrist who had treated Daniel Ellsberg, the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers to the press. Later he said that his loyalty to President Nixon clouded his moral judgment. "I went and lied and I'm paying the price for that lack of willpower," Mr. Ehrlichman said just before he was granted parole. ready, fire, aim
Jury misses logical target
Beretta, Glock, Jennings, and other firearms manufacturers were held responsible for several New York shootings. The relatives of an accidental shooting victim and six homicide victims sued the gun industry in 1995 and a federal grand jury held last week the gun makers were to blame. The accusations resembled the Big Tobacco lawsuit: that the firearms industry "negligently" markets a legal product. Last month, the court dismissed charges against 15 handgun wholesale distributors, leaving only manufacturers as defendants. Several cities are considering filing similar suits to collect damages over local shootings. federal crime laws don't work
Thinking locally, acting nationally
Former Attorney General Edwin Meese said the federal government's War on Crime has been lost. As chairman of an American Bar Association task force, Mr. Meese issued a report arguing that the flood of new laws Congress passed in recent decades didn't clean up America's streets. The two-year study noted that more than 40 percent of all federal criminal laws enacted since the Civil War were passed since 1970. But, the Meese report said, "there is no persuasive evidence that federalization of local crime makes the streets safer for American citizens." The report said these get-tough federal policies undermine state and local law enforcement and waste tax dollars. The 16-member task force calls on Congress to stop it. "Most of the time it's just feel-good legislation," said the former Reagan attorney general. Mr. Meese's criticisms mirror those raised by Chief Justice William Rehnquist in December. In his year-end report on the federal judiciary, he said Congress is pressured "to appear responsive to every highly publicized societal ill or sensational crime." pro-life caucus takes on stem cell research
Can Congress rein in the bureaucrats?
Washington is once again embroiled in a controversy over the meaning of words. Seventy members of Congress and seven senators last week rebuked Department of Health and Human Services secretary Donna Shalala over a bureaucratic reinterpretation of a law involving research on human embryos. In spite of a federal ban on funding research involving embryonic stem cells, National Institutes of Health officials announced they had found a way around the law. Such stem cells, prized by some scientists for their potential in developing life-saving regenerative therapies, can only be obtained from aborted early-term babies or through the destruction of human embryos. In January, NIH director Harold Varmus announced that his agency had decided laboratory-grown stem cells were not covered by the federal ban because they are not human embryos capable of creating a new person. Mr. Varmus's decision was based largely on an interpretation issued by HHS general counsel Harriet Rabb of the 1996 federal law banning research involving the destruction of human embryos. The lawmakers' letters to Secretary Shalala, signed by pro-life lawmakers, forcefully challenged the syllogistic reasoning used by Ms. Rabb and the HHS legal staff. The House-originated letter called the ruling "a carefully worded effort to justify transgressing the law." Lawmakers are under increasing pressure by advocacy groups to approve federal funding of stem cell research. Specific varieties of stem cells-culled, for example, from umbilical cord blood-are already being used successfully in procedures like bone marrow transplants. But embryonic stem cells are believed by scientists to be a potential source of therapies for cure-eluding diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Currently, only embryonic stem cells are known to be young enough to be fully "pluripotent," or capable of developing into many types of human cells-like heart, muscle, brain, or bone. Human heart, muscle, and brain-more so than paper-will be required to turn back the HHS decision, notes pro-life lobbyist Doug Johnson, legislative director of the National Right to Life Committee. "The letters to Shalala (from Congress) were expected, and the letters were certainly welcome," Mr. Johnson told WORLD. "But it will take more than letters to deal with this situation." Y2K and the courts
Double-digit damages?
With time ticking away toward Y2K, how ready is American business? A top securities regulator says we still don't know. SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt said this could erode Wall Street's confidence in traded companies, causing "panic and overreaction" to ripple through the economy in the months ahead. Educated (and not so educated) guesses about the millennium bug's effects are flying, and hard data is still sketchy. And "many companies are still not complying" with Year 2000 disclosure requirements, according to SEC Chief Accountant Lynn Turner. He said a survey of corporate America showed that more than half haven't revealed the cost of Y2K repairs. Meanwhile, close to half won't say what they plan to do if their computers malfunction. Mr. Turner said that if he were the chief financial officer of a company that mishandled Y2K, "I'd be hung out there like a cold piece of meat in storage." As companies rush to fix their computers, Sen. John McCain says the computer bug could turn into a cash cow for unscrupulous attorneys. He introduced one of several proposed bills to limit the amount of damages plaintiffs can collect due to Y2K. He says frivolous suits are popping up that could snowball and create a raft of new problems. Sen. McCain argued that businesses making a good-faith effort to prepare for 2000 should not be punished for their efforts with high punitive-damage awards. "These lawsuits are sheer craziness and represent ambulance-chasing at its worst," he said. "They are absolute confirmation that Y2K litigation is not about consumers, but about making wealthy lawyers even wealthier." Damages not related to economic loss would be limited to $250,000 or three times the amount of economic loss. Damages unrelated to economic loss for smaller businesses would be limited to $50,000.

- After nearly 18 months off national TV, Marv Albert has signed a multiyear contract with Turner Sports to broadcast NBA games and other events. NBC-which fired him in 1997 when he pled guilty to biting a woman during a sexual encounter in a Virginia hotel room-congratulated him for his comeback.
- Typing errors are sending kids to adult Web sites, according to Solid Oak Software, maker of an Internet filtering program called CYBERsitter. The company lashed out at pornographers who have registered thousands of domain names that are misspellings of household names like "Microsoft," "Disney," and "Beanie Babies." "They want to get us there any way they can," says Solid Oak Software VP Marc Kanter.
- Jeff Gordon will try to win his third straight-fourth in five years-Winston Cup championship later this year. He defeated Dale Earnhardt at the Daytona 500, which was his 43rd checkered flag.
- Promising that his campaign for the White House would not be "for the faint of heart," Sen. Bob Smith announced that he would seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2000. The New Hampshire Republican said one of his first priorities as president would be pushing Congress to define life as beginning at fertilization. Sen. Smith called abortion "the moral outrage of the 20th century."
- New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg will not seek a fourth term in 2000. He is a strong Clinton booster, proposed severe anti-gun legislation, and carries a 95 rating from Americans for Democratic Action. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., will also retire in 2000. Liberal Republicans are expected to challenge for the open seats.
- Oregon Human Resources announced last week that 15 people have died by assisted suicide in the first year of legalized euthanasia in that state. Six died from illnesses before using prescribed lethal drugs, and two others who were prescribed drugs were still alive as of Jan. 1. The OHR summary cites the deaths as an exercise in "the importance of autonomy and personal control." Americans join Nato force
Going to Kosovo
Fresh from his impeachment victory, President Clinton committed ground troops to a NATO peacekeeping force in Kosovo. He promised to send 4,000 Marines after warring parties-Serbs and ethnic Albanians-reach a solid agreement. To knock heads together, his defense secretary threatened air strikes against Serbia if its leaders refuse to cut a deal. The British general who heads NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Force would command the American Marines as part of a force that includes troops from Britain, France, Germany, and other European nations. The U.S. troops will represent about 14 percent of a projected total NATO peacekeeping force of 28,000. Top priorities: ensuring withdrawal of Serbia's security forces and disarming the secessionist Kosovo Liberation Army. World in brief
- Turks vs. Kurds
Turkey cleared all 250 inmates off an island prison to make way for one prisoner-Kurdish guerrilla leader Abdullah Ocalan. He stands accused of causing 37,000 deaths while leading the Kurdistan Workers Party's fight for autonomy in Southern Turkey. Dozens of Kurdish protesters stormed the Israeli embassy in Berlin after Mr. Ocalan's arrest. Three Kurds were killed, and at least 43 people were injured, including 16 demonstrators and 27 police officers. Israel denies reports that its Mossad intelligence agency helped track down the guerrilla leader.
- Megabitten
A teenage computer hacker who calls himself "Analyzer" was indicted in an Israeli court. He and his four accomplices became cult figures there after they broke into the computer systems of several universities, the Israeli parliament, the Pentagon, and NASA. He told reporters that he also searched for and destroyed neo-Nazi, pedophile, and anti-Israel Web sites. Analyzer, a.k.a. 18-year-old Ehud Tenenbaum, even became a computer pitchman after he was first discovered last year. Newron computers hired the clean-cut kid to appear in ads alongside the slogan, "To go far, you need the best equipment." In exchange, the company gave him a new computer to replace the one confiscated by Israeli police. Now Analyzer and four others are charged with illegal entry into computers in the United States and Israel. None is in custody, but each faces up to three years in prison if convicted. peace plan hits a snag
Fighting Irish?
Protestants and Roman Catholics are drawing up blueprints in British-ruled Northern Ireland for a new coalition government, but the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and other terrorist gangs refuse to disarm. Politicians face a March 10 deadline for resolving the dispute. Irish Protestants refuse to govern alongside the IRA-allied Sinn Fein party unless the IRA starts smashing its stockpiles of weapons. The IRA, while still observing the July 1997 cease-fire that ended 27 years of conflict, rejected such demands. According to the accord, all weapons must go by May 2000. Meanwhile, an outlawed anti-Catholic group, the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) showed off new weapons it smuggled into the country in recent months, including a 66mm anti-tank weapon. The UVF expects the peace process to collapse. It acknowledges that it is recruiting, rearming, and training people throughout the whole of North Ulster. More than four-fifths of people in Northern Ireland want these groups to disarm immediately, according to a poll published in the Belfast Telegraph. Sinn Fein leaders dismissed those results, which said only 2 percent of the country opposes disarmament. Before the shooting stopped, the IRA killed 1,800 people in its war to unify Northern Ireland with the Irish Republic. The UVF and the Ulster Defense Association killed more than 800 Catholics trying to stop the IRA.

Many Americans are fans of Justin Bieber … but at least 100,000 others want him out!
Since his arrest on Thursday on drunken driving charges in Miami Beach, Florida, an online petition submitted through the White House website has garnered more than 109,000 signatures – surpassing the 100,000 needed to be officially considered by the President of the United States.
Created Jan. 23 by a person in Detroit known as J.A., the petition asks the Obama administration to deport the 19-year-old back to his native Canada because he is "wrongly" representing the U.S. in the pop culture arena.
PHOTOS: Justin Bieber through the years | WATCH: Orange is the new Bieber
"We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nations youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society," the petition reads.
Bieber returned to the states after a weekend getaway in Panama. On Tuesday a judge set his arraignment for Valentine's Day, Feb. 14. His attorney is expected to appear on his behalf.

I seem to remember CC being able to do the Harn style of city maps (which I LOVE). Now I know that I am a grey beard, and not possessing much of a memory in my old age, but I can't help wondering if that was for an older version (and the last time I touched CC was back before they started adding numbers to the name) or just my imagination...
If they did have that style, where would you be able to find it. My first thought was that it was in one of the earlier annuals, but perusing Profantasy's site proved that assumption wrong.
If it was put out for an earlier version, would it still be available for CC3, or at least usable?
(and yes I know you should have a copy of CC in order to use it properly. That situation to be remedied shortly )

NEW YORK (WUSA9/AP) - Federal authorities say they raided 7-Eleven stores in New York and Virginia as part of an investigation into human smuggling, identity theft and money laundering. The inquiry involves allegations that store owners helped smuggle workers into the U.S. from Pakistan.
According to a press release on Monday, some store owners and managers of 14 7-Eleven stores "allegedly hired dozens of illegal immigrants, equipped them with more than 20 identities stolen from United States citizens, housed them at residences owned by the defendants and stole substantial portions of their wages."
Some store owners and managers were arrested Monday after authorities inspected approximately 30 stores. More than a dozen workers have been taken into custody by immigration officials.
The defendants in the case were listed as:
Authorities say if convicted, the defendants will face 20 years of imprisonment on wire fraud conspiracy and alien harboring charges, as well as multiple counts of aggravated identity theft, which carries a mandatory, two-year term of incarceration. All property used to facilitate the harboring of illegal immigrants, together with all proceeds of the wire fraud conspiracy and alien harboring charges, are subject to forfeiture, according to authorities.
According to the indictments and court papers, Farrukh and Bushra Baig are a married couple who owned, co-owned and/or controlled 12 7-Eleven franchise stores on Long Island, New York and in Virginia. Zahid Baig and Shannawaz Baig are Farrukh Baig's brothers, who helped to manage and control the stores, assisted by Malik Yousaf, Tariq Rana and Ramon Nanas, according to indictments. Brothers Ahzar Zia and Ummar Uppal owned and controlled two other Suffolk County 7-Eleven franchise stores.
Authorities say from 2000 until the present, the defendants collectively and systematically employed more than 50 illegal immigrants at 14 7-Eleven franchise stores in Long Island and Virginia. They allegedly used 20 stolen identities to conceal the presence of illegal immigrants on the 7-Eleven franchise store payrolls. 7-Eleven headquarters processed the payroll and sent the employees' wages to the defendants for distribution, but then the defendants allegedly stole portions of the wages, rather than paying the workers in full. The defendants also made the workers live in homes they owned and to pay rent in cash to the them, according to allegations.
According to allegations in court documents, the defendants stole identities of people from seven states, from ages 8 to 78 years old, including a child, three dead people and a Coast Guard cadet.
Authorities say the defendants allegedly generated over $182 million in proceeds from the 7-Eleven franchise stores.
The 7-Eleven company says in a statement that it is cooperating with federal authorities. It had no further comment.

Are 3 Gr- names too much?
I have a Griffin and a Grace and am pregnant with #3, which is a boy. We want to name him Grant, but we're unsure if three Gr- names is too much. We happen to love the name independent of the fact that it's also a Gr- name, and also kinda like that it is a Gr- name but don't want it to be too much. We're also wondering if it'd be weird to go outside the Gr- pattern (our other choice is Landon). Thoughts?

Two is a coincidence, three is a theme.
Themes are tricky. If you think you could get stuck in the theme later on (if you should ever have a fourth), I'd examine my other options.new username @finch

It depends, if you like it that much, I would say go for it. Are you planning on having more children? Do you like other Gr- names?

Griffin, Grace, and Landon... then it seems like Landon was an afterthought/ adopted/ etc. If you're going to have 4+ kids, then it's easier. However, I feel like naming your first 2 kids with Gr- names pretty much sticks you in a theme. Grant is great... Greyson, Graham, and Grady are also nice. There are fewer nice Gr- girl names, though.

My personal choice would be Landon, because I don't care for themed sibsets. Also, if you have more children, it will be hard to break away from that. Some people might argue that the 3rd child will feel left out, but I don't think that is ever an issue to kids, especially not with 3. If you had 4 Gr-'s and then names the 5th Landon it might be an issue, but not yet. My entire family - parents, brother, and pets - all had a K or hard C name when I was young, and I never felt left out as the only one without one.Lillian Elizabeth 6.16.13

STEUBENVILLE - First-year coach Sean Blumette, his staff at Brooke High School and his players could not have been more excited and anxious to get the 2012 high school football season underway this summer.
Then, just like that, the season began, the Bruins lost one of their best players and leaders to a knee injury in Raleigh Mason and also the season opener in heartbreaking fashion, a one-point decision to Parkersburg at home.
Three weeks later Brooke is in the process of closing out one of the toughest stretches of schedule that a team could ever ask for. After falling to unbeatens St. Clairsville and University, the Bruins are staring straight into the eyes of Steubenville Big Red.

Steubenville's Dashon Redman
Friday night at 7 p.m. Blumette will take his squad across the Ohio river and up the hill to Harding Stadium, where another undefeated team awaits in Coach Reno Saccoccia's bunch.
It is the third consecutive season the two schools have met with Steubenville winning the first two by a combined 74-28 margin, including last year's 40-6 stomping at Brooke Memorial Stadium.
''I feel like right now we are two teams just fighting to stay healthy, but we are fortunate enough to be 3-0 and they are 0-3, but we are both banged up,'' Saccoccia said.
''Sometimes it is not a good thing to be learning and growing as you go because you have to learn from losses, but we have been learning with wins and that is important.''
To add insult to injury, while Big Red is coming off a hard-fought 21-7 victory against Bishop Timon, the Bruins were blanked 45-0 last week by the Hawks in Morgantown.
Also, add in the fact that while Steubenville continues breaking in a new quarterback in senior Corey Stinson, it has been relying on its running game a little, racking up 173 yards a week ago and being led by senior Dashon Redman, who had 86 yards against the Tigers, and junior Robert Hayden, who finished with 55. TeShawn Luke also found the end zone on a carry.
''What can you say about Steubenville? They are just a tremendous program,'' Blumette said. ''They have so much athletic ability, they are very physical and they just play a very smart brand of football. We have to find a way to match their intensity to be successful, and that isn't easy to do.''
Now, take into consideration that Brooke has had little luck stopping the ground game, giving up more than 250 yards a contest and allowing nine touchdowns. That includes the St. Clairsville game in which the Red Devils threw for nearly 300 yards and six scores.
''I would love to be able to petition the SSAC to allow us to play with 13 defenders, but I don't thing that is going to happen,'' Blumette joked. ''You know, you can draw up Xs and Os all you want and you can scheme, but if your kids don't have the desire and pride to not allow 300 yards rushing in a game, you are in trouble.
''The fact is that we just have not been a physical defense since our last scrimmage and I have no idea why that is.
''We have talked about desire and heart, but you have to go out on the field and show it.''
Stinson has been solid for Big Red through three games, and the club even went to its bag of tricks for a fake field goal and 15-yard touchdown pass from Evan Westlake to Matt Petrella.
On the other side of the coin, after rolling up 34 points in the opener against Parkersburg, Brooke has scored 14 points and accounted for just 333 total yards of offense.
Senior quarterback Alec Buchmelter has not hit 100 yards in either of the last two contests after having a huge game in the opener. Justin Laughrie did rush for 68 yards against University.
The Bruins will have to come to life against a staunch Big Red defense that has not only allowed just 98 rushing yards total in three games, but just 534 yards in all.
''Defensively we are playing to our potential,'' Saccoccia added. ''But on offense we need to get healthy on the line and get our tailbacks more carries. That is just something we are going to need to do to be successful.''

Reidsville, NC -- A suspect is in jail after shooting a man in the head and standing off with police Saturday in Rockingham County.
Curtis Wayne Hearn, 48, is charged with attempted first-degree murder.
Deputies say 40-year-old James Troxler came to Hearn's home Friday to buy a trailer from him. After the two negotiated a price, Hearn pulled a gun on Troxler and shot him in the head, according to a news release.
Troxler then walked to a convenience store and got a ride home, where he called for deputies and asked for medical assistance.
Deputies went to Hearn's home to make an arrest, but he wouldn't exit. After five hours of trying to get Hearn to come out of his home, deputies used tear gas and he finally surrendered.
Hearn is being held inthe Rockingham County Jail without bond, and deputies say they expect Troxler to survive.

If Idol is a god then I'm a demigod
I met Billy Idol once. I won't get into details because this is a family site, but what I saw him do was simply shocking. I also saw him forget the lyrics to "Rebel Yell" while on stage and then leave the concert because he was angry at the bassist for trying to cover for him.
Worked at one of his shows back in the early '90s not long after he had busted up his leg in an accident. He was on stage with a cane, but still did the entire show. The thing I remember most about the show was that it probably had the record for most female body parts signed of any show I had worked.
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.

|Accident results in broken leg and wrist
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
A Friday, Sept. 27 accident several miles south of Julesburg sent Erin Lebsack, 20, of Wray, to Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, where she was treated for a broken femur and broken wrist, both on her right side.
Lebsack was southbound on Highway 385 in the Abts Pharmacy delivery car, a 2004 Dodge Neon. Jorge Rios, 22, was northbound on the highway in Seaboard Food's 2007 Ford F-250 pickup. Weather conditions were rainy.
Rios made a left-hand turn into Seaboard Foods in front of Lebsack at about 5 p.m. Friday. The Abts Dodge Neon collided its front with the right front of the pickup.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (From Bisons.com)- Runs were at a premium, and the Buffalo Bisons were unable to manufacture more than the Pawtucket Red Sox at McCoy Stadium Sunday.
The PawSox won the matinee, 3-1, to increase their lead in the International League wild-card standings by 1 ½ games over the Herd. Prior to its game Sunday night, Norfolk sat a half-game behind Pawtucket and a game ahead of Buffalo.
Sean Nolin started for the Herd in his Triple-A debut after making 17 starts for Double-A New Hampshire and pitching a game for the Toronto Blue Jays on May 24 this season. The 23-year-old who had a 3.01 earned run average with New Hampshire, experienced mixed results, striking out four and walking four while taking the loss.
The left-hander began the contest with three scoreless innings, but RBI singles by Drew Sutton in the fourth and Jackie Bradley Jr. in the fifth led to a 2-0 Red Sox lead. Those were the only runs allowed by Nolin (0-1), who gave up seven hits on 95 pitches over 5 1/3 innings.
Meanwhile, the Herd struggled to advance runners on the base paths. Managing six hits, the Bisons were able to get just two runners into scoring position and neither was plated, finishing 0 for 8 as a team with runners in scoring position.
Clint Robinson was the offense, hitting a two-out solo home run to right-center field in the sixth to narrow the gap to 2-1. After a Bradley Jr. seventh-inning solo homer made it 3-1, the Bisons threatened to tie it in the eighth.
A Ryan Goins walk was followed two batters later with Robinson's single to right, putting runners on the corners. But Andy LaRoche, who extended a career-high hit streak to 10 games with a single in the fourth, grounded into a fielder's choice for the third out.
During the 10-game span, LaRoche is 14 for 38 (.368) with five doubles and six RBIs.
For the second consecutive game against the PawSox, the Bisons faced a knuckleballer. They faced Steven Wright in Saturday night's win and on Sunday, it was Charlie Haeger (4-3). The right-hander kept Buffalo's batters off-balance with the unique pitch, striking out five and allowing five hits and a run over six innings to pick up the win.
The third game of the crucial four-game set will be played Monday at 7:05 p.m. The Herd will send Kyle Drabek (1-0, 0.00) to the hill for his first start, second appearance, with the team, while Pawtucket will start right-hander Clayton Mortensen (2-0, 3.52).
BISONS NOTES: Catcher A.J. Jimenez, playing in his first game for the Bisons after a promotion from New Hampshire on Saturday, went 1 for 3...Robinson finished 2 for 3 with a walk, increasing his average to .237...Brad Glenn singled in the ninth to give him a hit in each of his first four games with Buffalo.

Anyone seen this show, just turned it to it and he was "slicing" an ice cream machine. But opening the doors to the compartments was to easy he needed to cut part of it off then open the doors. My favorite part however was when he was shocked that where the ice cream was made was ice cold. Just amazing that this show is on tv.
This show is totally useless.
never heard of it.
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
The only part I wanted to see was how the cue ball goes back its pocket and the rest of the pool balls goes to the other part, on a pay pool table.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
waste of time dont watch.
It is just really unreal how useless everything they do on there is. I wouldn't mind seeing the que ball one but also probably a faster way than how he would do it. I just wonder how it has anything to do with history.
What station is this show even on?

One of the dumbest shows EVER! I TRIED watching the show where he "examines" a garbage disposal. Instead of going underneath the sink, he gets this expensive special blade and saw. Cuts the entire counter and sink in half. I could have told him the insides of a garbage disposal has a lot of sharp pieces and spin to turn food into pulp. The guy obviously can't please a woman and he has to cut things apart to hide that fact! If this show gets picked up for a second season there is a major problem...
2009 Insight Bowl Champions!
Watched an episode or two. Not sure - completely not memorable. Don't think I made it the whole way through either.
There's maybe one minute of worthwhile material out of every 10-15.

I saw that in one of the previews. I was curious, too.
I thought the concept of the show is unique, but part of me thought, "why don't you just go to a factory and watch as it's put together?"
Or they could just air "How it's Made," and devote a minute at the end of each segment to let him chainsaw through some of the products, for fun.

So I've committed to writing at least one post per month on social media. Sometimes it happens organically, sometimes deliberately. This is one of those deliberate months, what with this being the final hours of the month. But this is a good one – in fact, it's the very best… of my Twitter over the past few weeks.
Man, I love embedding tweets
Here are some of my favorite tweets I crafted this month, to give a little more depth to the hyper-fleeting nature of our favorite micro-blogging platform. Oh, and you should follow me on Twitter if you're at all amused by any of this…
Started off this month with a visit to a local winery, Divine Llama Vineyards. Made for a sweet photo-op and a Foursquare moment:
[tweet https://twitter.com/rsmithing/status/242003882446831616 align='center']
These haikus inspired by my frustration with MS Office evolved into a full-on blog post but were Twitter gold initially:

I've also taken to posting my favorite songs occasionally via the excellent Soundhound app:
[tweet https://twitter.com/rsmithing/status/246038943706001408 align='center']
In the middle of the month, I attended a great webinar by Mark Schaefer, and had several great twitter-interactions meanwhile:
[tweet https://twitter.com/rsmithing/status/245961643752820736 align='center']
And finally, I commemorated the annual Talk Like A Pirate Day by getting into #Pinchat completely in pirate voice:

I'm using City Designer 3.
In the Vehicles/Roads tab there are some entities called "Fence Metal."
I want to draw sections of metal fence linked together. I can't figure out how to do this though. When I click on the metal fence entity, a silhouette comes up and I appear to be laying sections of fence together as I click repeatedly, but when I get to the end of the fence and right click, the fence doesn't appear exactly as I laid it out. How do I control this entity?

(WUSA9) -- More attention is being paid to the long-term effects of concussions and preventing them from happening in youth sports, particularly when it applies to the game of football. Very few people realize, however, there is an alarming number of concussions suffered in girls soccer.
A recent study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine ranked high school girls soccer as the second most concussion prone sport behind football.
Briana Scurry, the former goalkeeper of the U.S. Women's Soccer team, joined us on Tuesday morning to talk about the long term effects of concussions.

Where blocks are concerned, there are two players which stand out and then there a bunch of good players which really don't come anywhere close. If you go for one of the top two players, you won't have to spend any more time looking for blocks.
If you opt for someone different, you will most likely have to get three good block players to compete.
As bad as that might sound, it actually isn't necessarily that hard considering two facts:
- You normally have at least a couple of forward positions, one or two center positions, and two or three utility positions where you can pay a little more attention and get enough blocks.
- There are a lot of good rebounders who can be counted on to get you some blocks, so you aren't being forced to expend positions on players who only can get you one category.

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer among children, adolescents, and young adults.
The disease usually occurs in the long bones, such as the arms (humerus), legs (femur/tibia), and pelvis. It rarely occurs in the jaw and fingers. It most often occurs at the ends of bones near growth plates, especially around the knees.
Osteosarcoma cancer cells can also spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body. Most commonly, these cells spread to the lungs. However, bones, kidneys, the adrenal gland, the brain, and the heart can also be sites of metastasis.
The exact cause of osteosarcoma is not known, but genetics may play an important role. Children and adults with other hereditary abnormalities, including exostoses (bony growths), retinoblastoma, Ollier's disease, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, and Paget's disease, have an increased risk for developing osteosarcoma.
This form of cancer has also been linked to exposure to ionizing irradiation associated with radiation therapy for other types of cancer (e.g., Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin disease).
The following are the most common symptoms of osteosarcoma. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to, the following:
pain (sharp or dull) at the site of the tumor
swelling and/or redness at the site of the tumor
increased pain with activity or lifting
decreased movement of the affected limb
The symptoms may have been present over a short period of time or may have been occurring for six months or more. Often, an injury brings a child into a medical facility, where an x-ray may indicate suspicious bone lesions.
The symptoms of osteosarcoma may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination of your child, diagnostic procedures for osteosarcoma may include:
multiple imaging studies of the tumor and sites of possible metastasis, such as
x-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
bone scans - a nuclear imaging method to evaluate any degenerative and/or arthritic changes in the joints; to detect bone diseases and tumors; to determine the cause of bone pain or inflammation.
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. This test is done to rule out any associated abnormalities of the spinal cord and nerves, and to look for nearby tumors.
computed tomography scan (Also called a CT or CAT scan.) - a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays.
positron emission tomography (PET) scan - radioactive-tagged glucose (sugar) is injected into the bloodstream. Tissues that use the glucose more than normal tissues (such as tumors) can be detected by a scanning machine. PET scans can be used to find small tumors or to check if treatment for a known tumor is working.
complete blood count (CBC) - a measurement of size, number, and maturity of different blood cells in a specific volume of blood.
blood tests (including blood chemistries)
biopsy of the tumor
Specific treatment for osteosarcoma will be determined by your child's physician based on:
your child's age, overall health, and medical history
extent of the disease
your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
expectations for the course of the disease
your opinion or preference
Treatment may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following:
surgery (i.e., biopsy, resections, bone/skin grafts, limb salvage procedures, reconstructions)
radiation therapy
resections of metastases (spreading of the tumor to other locations)
rehabilitation including physical and occupational therapy and psychosocial adapting
prosthesis fitting and training
supportive care (for the side effects of treatment)
antibiotics (to prevent and treat infections)
continued follow-up care (to determine response to treatment, detect recurrent disease, and manage the side effects of treatment)
Prognosis for osteosarcoma greatly depends on:
the extent of the disease.
the size and location of the tumor.
presence or absence of metastasis.
the tumor's response to therapy.
the age and overall health of your child.
your child's tolerance of specific medications, procedures, or therapies.
new developments in treatment.
A person who was treated for bone cancer as a child or adolescent may develop effects months or years after treatment ends. These effects are called late effects. The kind of late effects one develops depends on the location of the tumor and the way it was treated.
Some types of treatment may later affect fertility. If this side effect is permanent, it will cause infertility, or the inability to have children. Both men and women can be affected.
As with any cancer, prognosis and long-term survival can vary greatly from child to child. Every child is unique and treatment and prognosis is structured around the child's needs. Prompt medical attention and aggressive therapy are important for the best prognosis. Continuous follow-up care is essential for a child diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, as well as second malignancies, can occur in survivors of osteosarcoma.

The Stephen W. Taylor Medal is presented upon the recommendation of the president of the University, with the concurrence of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. The award, named after Stephen W. Taylor, a Bucknell founder who framed its charter, organized its first course of study, and planned the campus, represents the most significant honor granted by Bucknell. In large measure, the University has been built on Taylor's initiative and vision.
Established in 1972, the medal is awarded in honor of those who render extraordinary service to the University. To date, there have been 17 recipients.
White served on the Board of Trustees for 57 years (1938-1995), serving as chairman from 1957 to 1973. He received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Bucknell and was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He held a JD from Columbia University Law School and received an honorary doctor of laws degree from Union College. After being admitted to the New York Bar, he was appointed to a succession of positions at the New York State Banking Department. In 1936, he became the youngest man ever to be appointed superintendent of banks of the New York State Banking Board. After six years in this position, he resigned to become a vice president of the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York. Bucknell conferred an honorary doctor of laws degree upon him in 1959. He died in 1995.
White received the first Taylor Medal in a ceremony on Dec. 1, 1972, for "more than a quarter century of selfless and dedicated service to Bucknell."
ather of two Bucknell alums (Leanne Freas Trout '50 and Arthur Freas '48) and related to many others, Guy Freas was a major donor to the University. The Freas-Rooke Pool, the Freas-Rooke Computer Center, and the admissions building, Freas Hall (named after his deceased first wife, Elizabeth (Koons) Freas), were all named to recognize contributions by Freas. He was the vice president and director of The Federal Paper Board Co. He received an honorary doctor of laws degree from Bucknell in 1957 and served as trustee of the University for three decades, beginning in 1949. He received the Bison Club Award on July 13, 1982.
Freas was awarded the Taylor Medal in 1975 for his "firmness of judgment, clothed always in modesty [which] provided a touchstone of principled reason." He died in 1982.
Rooke graduated from Bucknell with a degree in electrical engineering. While at Bucknell, he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and Omicron Delta Kappa. He served as an active trustee from 1930-1975, and served as a trustee emeritus from 1975 until his death in 1994. Rooke served as the secretary of the board from 1948-1970.
Among his most significant contributions to Bucknell were those providing funding for Rooke Chapel, given in honor of his parents, the Freas-Rooke Swimming Pool, the Freas-Rooke Computer Center, and the Robert L. Rooke Chemistry Building. A bequest from Rooke's estate established the Robert L. Rooke Chair in Engineering. In 1951, Rooke received an honorary doctor of laws degree from Bucknell. Robert Rooke is one of the largest lifetime donors to Bucknell.
Rooke worked for Merrill Lynch & Co. for nearly 75 years. He began as a bond salesman in 1919, eventually becoming a partner, and in 1928 became the company's representative on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. On his 100th birthday, Merrill Lynch honored him by dedicating the Management Case Studies Room in the Rooke Chemistry Building in his honor.
Rooke received the Taylor Medal for "tirelessly and fruitfully serv[ing] his alma mater" for over four decades. The citation reads: "Your genius and your careful labor have provided Bucknell with an endowment it could have in no other way obtained. In similar fashion you have raised buildings that nourish both our spirits and our minds." Rooke received the medal at the University's commencement on June 1, 1975.
Dr. Watts received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Brown University in May 1947 and a Ph.D. from the same institution in May 1953. He received his Masters from Columbia University in 1948 and two law degrees in 1965 from Dickinson School of Law and Franklin College. Dr. Watts served as president of Bucknell for 12 years, trustee of the University from 1978 to 1992, and as trustee emeritus from 1992 until his death in 2001. He received an honorary degree from Bucknell in 1979. Dr. Watts was also a trustee of St. John's College (Annapolis, Md.) and a director of Weis Markets. He received honorary degrees from Brown University (where he had previously served as dean and English professor), Columbia University, Franklin College, Dickinson School of Law, and Alderson-Broaddus College.
Dr. Watts received the Taylor Medal in 1976 for "carry[ing] forward the traditions of Stephen W. Taylor during his 12 years as president of Bucknell."
Woolley received his undergraduate degree from Bucknell in Commerce and Finance and was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. He attended classes at New York and Columbia universities and completed the Advanced Management program at Harvard Business School in 1959. Woolley was a Bucknell trustee from 1962-1981, and served as a trustee emeritus from 1981 until his death in 1995. He was vice chairman of the board from 1976-1981. Woolley was awarded an honorary doctor of laws degree from Bucknell in 1967 and received the Alumni Award for Service to Humanity in 1981.
Woolley joined the Bank of New York in 1933, became its president in 1961, and was named CEO in 1963. He retired from the bank in 1974. Woolley became a trustee of the New York Public Library that year, eventually becoming a trustee emeritus of that institution. He was also a trustee of the American University of Beirut and of the College Retirement Equities Fund.

Bowie State Loses Shootout with Johnson C. Smith
Bowie State University's (BSU) football team put up five touchdowns on offense, but it wasn't enough as they fell 58-41 in a shootout with Johnson C. Smith University (JSU) on Sept. 14 in Charlotte, N.C.
Bowie State and Johnson C. Smith h combined for 99 points, the most between the two Central Interscholastic Athletic Association (CIAA) schools since BSU's 58-41 win over JSU in 1989.
Johnson C. Smith led 30-7 at halftime, thanks to two touchdowns passes from junior quarterback Keahn Wallace and a touchdown run from junior running back LeAnder Barney.
Bowie State rallied in the second half and went on to score 34 points after halftime, but Johnson C. Smith kept the game out of their reach as the hosts scored 28 more points in the second half.
"We're not going to win any ballgame giving up 58 points and turning the ball over three times certainly hurt as well," said Bowie State head coach Damon Wilson.
BSU still recorded 522 yards of offense, despite the loss. Senior quarterback Jared Johnston had a career performance, completing 27-of-43 passes for a Bowie State record 394 passing yards, along with two touchdowns.
Wallace led Johnson C. Smith with 28-of-37 passes completed for 425 yards and four touchdowns.
Bowie State (1-1 overall) next faces Concord University in its home opener on Sept. 21 in Bowie, Md.

[About the University]
In 1818, one year before Alabama became a state, the Congress of the United States granted land in the territory to create a "seminary of learning." The state subsequently granted additional land and chartered The University of Alabama in 1820. The University received its first students in the spring of 1831. In the late 1850s, the University became a military school and furnished officers and men for the Confederacy. On April 4, 1865, Union cavalry destroyed all but a few campus buildings--including Maxwell Hall, the Gorgas House, the Round House, and the President's Mansion.
The construction of a new campus began in January 1867, and collegiate instruction resumed in April 1869. The University retained its military character for the remainder of the century. Women joined the approximately 400 men students in 1893, the year after football got its start at the University.
Under the leadership of George Hutcheson Denny (191236 and 1941), the University achieved its modern shape, reaching an enrollment of 4,000. The University did not extend its services to all Alabamians until June 11, 1963, when, following Governor George Wallace's "stand in the schoolhouse door," African Americans first successfully enrolled at the University.
As Alabama's first university, The University of Alabama is proud of its record of service to the state, the region, and the nation.

BeingGirl Points - Major Bragging Rights
Back to My Period Questions
Dear BeingGirl Experts,
How do you get blood out from your pants/underwear?
Dear Kaylee,
Treating period stains is best done as soon as you find out you had a leak. (The fresher any stain is the easier it to successfully remove.) Make sure your garment or item stained is washable. Soaking the stain in cold water may do the trick before washing.
If not, we have a couple of other techniques you can try. Hydrogen peroxide mixed with cold water will also remove period stains. Mix ¼ cup of hydrogen peroxide with ¾ cup water. You can pour this on the stain or you can soak the stained area in the solution before washing.
Another option is to mix one tablespoon of meat tenderizer with two tablespoons of cold water. Mix this together to make a paste. Spread the paste on the stain allowing it to sit for 1–2 hours before washing. With either stain removal technique you use once the stain is loosened, you can wash them using your regular detergent. For more information about removing blood from fabric, go to www.tide.com/en-US/stains/result/blood.jspx.
Hope this does the trick!

Looks promising. Looking forward to seeing more.
I have beggining with a map of the orography/reliefs. It's almost done (probably I will correct some elements and errors), so I thought I could post it to get some feedback
Higher resolution here:
Looks promising. Looking forward to seeing more.
Veeery slowly, but I keep working on this map. Here's a first draft, though much work still ahead. I have been having problems mainly with the colors and "floor"/earth textures. Can't find one that I really like. You'll see some variations I have been trying in towns/cities and fonts, and some text in spanish. You may ignore them by now.
I agree with arsheesh. This looks promising! Have some REP to encourage you to continue !
"Aye The skies be clear , the seas be calm and the winds be with us .....
ARGH!! but the damn compass be broken!! "

That's pretty rad! The mountains are handsome, and your icons for cities and whatnot look pretty great to me. It's possible that the large ones are slightly too large, though?
A very good start into mapping. You realy created a coherent feel with colors and Structures, keep on.

We upgraded our Zimbra Hosting farm last night successfully from 6.0.12 to 7.1.2, except that our own Documents were not migrated to Briefcase documents entirely. After the upgrade, only about 10% of the Documents had been converted; the rest were missing.
This was surprising to us since we had cloned our farm in XenServer to test upgrading to 7.1.1 and all of the (hundreds of) Documents were cleanly converted to Briefcase documents no problem.
Fortunately, Zimbra support responded promptly (Thanks again SO MUCH Ramadan!!!) and, surprisingly easily and painlessly, we recovered everything within a few hours of our filing the support request.
Frankly, no software will ever be totally perfect, but Zimbra support has always been there for us, and to us and our clients, that high calibre of support provides us and our clients with a tremendous amount of peace of mind.
In case others have this issue, this is what needs to be done after you upgrade and notice the Documents did not get (completely) converted to Briefcase docs:
First, as the zimbra user identify the Zimbra ID of the mailbox whose Documents were not converted:
Code:zmprov ga email@example.com | grep zimbraId
Then, just run the conversion script manually as the zimbra user, using the zimbraID gleaned from above:
(Just replace the example ID above with the real ID from the impacted mailbox.)Code:zmsoap -z MigrateAccountRequest/migrate @action=wiki @id=a3c062a7-6acd7-400d-9aee-62bg7d3085fb
So far, a number of clients have reported that the system seems a little snappier, and everyone is glad all the Chrome-related bugs are gone.
Hope that helps,

FanFest photos: Pitchers (and catcher) take the stage
Jason Kendall's daughter had a birthday on Friday. The new Royals backstop spent the day celebrating with his family, then caught an early Saturday flight to Kansas City for FanFest. The plane almost diverted away from K.C. due to fog. Jason arrived just in time for his first event, a Q&A on the main stage with the pitchers. Zack Greinke fielded the most questions of the group. He provided entertaining answers on everything from golf to his honeymoon to his interest in World of Warcraft. Let's take a look at the event:
