Hoover, Point have multiple options on the mound
The good thing about having two solid pitchers is that you can choose which one to throw in a big game. And, of course, the bad thing is that you have to make that choice.
Both Herbert Hoover and Point Pleasant find themselves in that situation today during the Class AA state baseball tournament at Appalachian Power Park. First pitch will come at about 12:45 p.m.
The Huskies (26-8), seeking their first state title since 2007, can go with either right-hander Tristan Fields (7-1, 4.14 ERA) or lefty Zach Mullins (4-3, 2.93).
Point Pleasant (25-7), the No. 1 team in the Gazette's state ratings, can select from righty Austen Toler (8-1, 1.88) or left-hander Eric Roberts (5-0, 3.82).
"Roberts or Toler, I don't know which one will start,'' Point coach Jamie Higginbotham said. "Both have faced Hoover this year, and we're a little bit familiar with each other. I'm probably leaning toward Toler because he has the No. 1 record and everything.''
Of course, having Roberts in reserve might be a good thing, too. He fired a three-hitter with 11 strikeouts in the Region 1 title-game win against Magnolia.
"He didn't pitch that much this season because his shoulder bothered him from football,'' Higginbotham said of Roberts, who played quarterback on the Big Blacks' state runner-up football team.
Meanwhile, Hoover's Brian Young, making his first trip to the state tournament as a head coach, has his own arm to choose.
"We've talked about it with them,'' Young said earlier this week of Fields and Mullins, his top two pitchers. "We're undecided right now. We sat both of them down and talked to them, and we haven't made up our minds. We want to see how their arms react after not playing for a while.
"We let each of them throw four innings in an intrasquad game this week, and then see what their arms feel like. It depends how their arms and legs feel later in the week. We'll not know for sure until later in the week.''
Whoever gets the call for the No. 3-ranked Huskies will square off with a potent Point lineup, led by Roberts (.473), Brandon Toler (.427), Jason Stouffer (.412) and Alex Somerville (.386).
Hoover's batting order relies on leadoff man Corey Bird (.491, 36 stolen bases), Zach Wright (.407, 32 RBIs), Mullins (.396, seven homers, 42 RBIs) and Fields (.375).
Young said it didn't make any difference to him that his state tournament opponent is also a Cardinal Conference rival. Point Pleasant beat Hoover 13-4 and 4-1 in the regular season.
"It doesn't really matter at this point,'' Young said. "Playing a team we've played might be a little extra motivation for our kids. They know we've got to come out and play good baseball and have a little better focus, a little extra motivation.
"It also speaks of what type of competition these boys are used to playing in the Cardinal Conference. But to me it doesn't matter -- you go out and play another ballgame.''

Lizard Skin Sound Damping - Spray Away NoiseWritten by on November 15, 2011
You may be thinking that spray-on sound damping sounds like something you'd see on an infomercial. I can say that I was a little skeptical about using a spray-on sound reducer system such as Lizard Skin Sound Control because all I have ever used in the past was some form of thick mat with adhesive on one side. Don't get me wrong, the mat-type stuff works great but I wanted to try something that was new to me and to the market. So I gave a call to Speedway Motors and ordered Lizard Skin Sound Control (PN 91044052) and Lizard Skin Spray Gun kit (PN 91044055).
Unsure on how much to order I got two 2-gallon buckets, but if you are only going to spray the floor, toeboards, and rear wall then a single 2-gallon bucket should cover everything just fine. Although John from Deuces Wild Hot Rods and Customs and I ran out of time, we wanted to go the extra step and cover the inside of the doors and under the headliner. This is why we ordered an extra bucket, just in case we wanted to coat non-standard areas, missed an area, etc.
We began by gathering materials that will assist in a clean install job such as liquid dish soap, 2-gallon bucket, clean rags, Scotch Brite pads, plastic measuring cup, plastic sheeting, green tape, and masking paper. Tom, a local to the shop, helped us remove the seats and carpet that just happened to be glued down with some kind of industrial super glue. You know, the kind that holds hard hats to steel I-beams. After ripping the carpet's matting up we knew why this truck was so noisy, the carpet material was sitting flat on the metal. Nothing was helping the floor soak up the road noise and motor vibrations. Make sure that you peek under the carpet to see if it is stuck to the floor, if so it may be a good idea to price some new carpet from some of our advertisers.
After trying everything I could think of to get the matting up someone suggested I try a die grinder with a small wire wheel, and it worked very well, plus the paint didn't get damaged. If for some reason you have any bare metal spots it is a good idea to prepare the area with a self-etching primer and let it dry before you spray on the Lizard Skin material. We then scuffed up the surface a little with Scotch Brite pads and blew off the debris with shop air. You can also use a degreaser to further clean the floor and other dirty areas but our floor was already clean.
Make sure there is no grease, fingerprints, or bare-metal spots on the surface before masking. Have you ever heard of four hours of prep for just a half an hour of painting? That would be almost true and it seemed masking off the areas we didn't want to spray took forever. When it came time to mix the material it was very easy thanks to the mixing tool provided with the kit. We added a little water to the material as suggested in the instructions but when we attempted to spray it on the material dibbled out the nozzle. It was very hot the day we sprayed so we dumped the material straight in, no water, and gave that a try. It sprayed on consistently then. John has sprayed on several types of bed liner material and said that the Lizard Skin went on very easy, kind of like drywall spackle. CT

Depending on how many panels you are going to spray you may want to pick up a little extra. Who knows, you might want to do the hot rod as well. We used just over three-quarters of a 2-gallon bucket to spray the floor, toeboards, and back wall.The spray gun kit comes with a mixing tool, spray guy, and an extra 90-degree nozzle. It has a large hole that allows the material to flow without clogging.A little tip is to tape the tip of the spray gun threads to reduce the spatter on the adjustment threads.With the seat removed it was easy to see what needed to be removed, like the seatbelts, shifter base, and CD changer.We tried everything from razor blades to plastic scrapers to get the carpet padding up. The only thing that worked really well was a die grinder with a small wire wheel attached to it.We also used a hand brush to sweep what came off the wire wheel. Surprisingly, the wheel didn't collect any carpet padding in the wires. Shop air sprayed in the creases helped get in the hard to reach areas that the padding fell into.For me, the hardest part of the whole thing was masking off the areas not to be sprayed. John used tin foil to cover the A/C box and several other areas that were hard to cover with paper. Make sure to scuff the surface with a Scotch Brite or similar type pad before spraying.John used lacquer thinner to clean the new spray gun of any grease. Then the lacquer thinner was put away since the Lizard Skin is a water-based product. Using a drill and the supplied mixing tool John mixed the entire bucket until the color changed to a light shade of gray.
We tried adding water to the mix but it didn't work out too well because of the 90 degree outside temperature. We assume that if you live in a colder climate you could add the recommended amount of water to reduce the thickness of the material. We then fixed up a non-diluted batch and it worked out just fine. John sprayed a light coat over the entire surface then let it dry for two hours.What was not used was dumped back into the bucket. We then placed the spray gun in a bucket of soapy dish water so that the gun would not get clogged when the material dries up inside.We missed a spot with the paper, but no worries, this stuff cleans right up with soap and water on a rag.Between coats Lizard Skin recommends that you place your thumb down and twist 90 degrees to see if the material is dry enough to spray again.After several coats we were satisfied that we covered the cab as best we could. After letting the material dry for an hour we removed all the tape and paper so that it would not be glued on when the material completely dried. Lizard Skin recommends that you let the material dry for at least 24 hours before putting everything back together. John later sprayed the inside of the doors and the underside of the roof.

Seattle Shoofly
Local breeders Gerry and Gail Schneider bred their mare Ann Michelle to Leading Hour and the morning in 2006 that the foal arrived at their Auburn farm, roosters were prominent, announcing the dawn. Farm Manager Dana Claxton quickly nicknamed the colt "Rooster" and the name has stuck.
Next door neighbors Larry and Sharon Ross became the colt's trainers and he officially became Seattle Shoofly. He retired sound with two wins and four seconds from nine career starts, winning his final outing here last September. Sharon Ross sought the help of Katie Merwick of Second Chance Ranch in finding a new home.
"He's big, black, beautiful and very kind," said Ross. I knew he'd transition to a new home easily.
"Sharon and her staff do such a great job with all the horses and Rooster's personality was always going to work in new surroundings, said Merwick"
The Calderon family of Arlington was the recipient of a very likable horse, just a week off the racetrack. There are two daughters and the family is full of horse lovers. Four year old Petra had a special first-meeting with Rooster, documented in pictures taken by mother Shannon.
The Calderons weren't able to keep Seattle Shoofly and he now resides in Vancouver, WA, with another horse lover, Janna Brown.
Brown especially is fond of Thoroughbreds and has secured many upon retirement from racing and helps transition them to new careers. Seattle Shoofly is currently training toward a hunter-jumper career.
"I don't know how many ways to say that Rooster is a big, kind, wonderful personality. He loves people and is a barn favorite. He's so calm and trusting, it's easy to see he was raised with the utmost care and respect," said Brown.
So the nickname is still active?

ATLANTA -- Professors at the University of Brescia in Italy studied this very question, and published their findings in the European Journal of Physics. They found that running is best, but sometimes walking is too. Confused? So were we, so we went down to Georgia Tech to get more details on this very question.
Physics professor Flavio Fenton explains, "How wet will I get? Should I walk or should I run? It's actually a complicated answer, but it depends on how the rain is falling. If the rain is falling on top of you, or at an angle towards you, it is better to run, and run as fast as you can. But when the rain is coming at you from the back, you have to run, but not as fast as you can."
However, if the rain is pouring, and coming down very hard, the study finds you are better off walking. Why? For starters, the rainfall rate is simply too high to outrun it and stay even remotely dry. Second, the ground cannot absorb the water that quickly, so you end up splashing back a significant amount of water onto yourself as you run. Hence, you should walk.
So in the end, what is the best solution? Fenton says, "So actually the best thing to do is if the rain is coming at you, or above you, or behind you, the best thing to do is carry an umbrella."
Georgia Tech will be having public outreach programs all fall for the public to attend to learn more about topics like this and more. For more details, and to sign up, please email email@example.com.


text: By Mary PierceKeith County News Nearing the end of a turbulent year, the new executive director of the Sandhills Crisis Intervention Program is cautiously optimistic the agency can not only help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault with immediate needs but also help them learn to live full healthy lives. "In the long term, I'd like to see us make a more permanent change in our clients' lives," SCIP Executive Director Kathleen Bauer said. On Dec. 10, Bauer took over leadership of the non-profit agency that assists victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault in Arthur, Deuel, Garden, Grant, Keith and Perkins counties. The agency provides a variety of services, including emergency shelter, crisis counseling and advocacy. As executive director, Bauer will write and manage all grants and create a budget. Overseeing the daily operations of the office also is her responsibility. Organized in November 1985, SCIP had to close its doors last summer for three weeks due to a lack in funding. "We still had volunteers manning the crisis line and clients still received services," she said. Creating even more of a financial challenge is that now a portion of its funding is on a reimbursement system, where the agency must first spend the money and then be reimbursed. "They reimburse us on their timeline and we could easily have six months of money outthere that we had to spend before we get any back." Despite the challenges, Bauer said the community recognized the program's worth and helped SCIP continue its mission. The Keith County Commissioners donated $7,000 and the Ogallala City Councilkicked in $5,000. Pinnacle Bank also gave a $5,000 donation to the organization."Those were huge," Bauer said. Although the agency will continue to rely on grants and donations, Bauer said the financial situation is straightening out. "The last few years have been rough but it's important to me to see SCIP continue and, hopefully, grow," she said. In addition to bringing enthusiasm to the job, Bauer brings a year and a half experience as a SCIP volunteer outreach coordinator. She graduated Dec. 14 with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a minor in business administration. Yet, Bauer said her "personal life experiences" most definitely would influence how she does her job. "It gives you compassion. It gives you a better understanding of the nonsense of it all. Because people will say, 'Why doesn't she leave?' Well, she doesn't leave for so many reasons, the same reasons why she stays." While Bauer believes it is crucial that victims receive immediate services of shelter and other resources, just as crucial is empowering victims to make changes in their lives. Bauer, in a healthy, loving relationship with her husband, Stacey, has six children, ranging in age from 5 to 20. Bauer said the need for services continues to escalate, as does the population served by SCIP. "We're now dealing with a lot of vulnerable adults because, sometimes, people take advantage of them and abuse them because they are vulnerable. We actually have quite a few clients in that criteria," she said. SCIP also helps those who are stalked or bullied, as well as the elderly and those who are involved in human trafficking. Bauer said being named SCIP's executive director is the culmination of her previous life experience, her education and a desire to help others. She said she looks forward to learning a lot and providing more services to clients in need. "I'm really excited to be here," she said. In addition to Bauer, the SCIP staff included Legal and Client Advocate Carol Miller and Outreach Coordinator Carol Sherman. The SCIP office is located at 100 E. 11th St. A 24-hour confidential crisis line is available by calling (308) 284-6055.

These female walruses and their calves prefer to rest between forage bouts on sea ice drifting above their feeding grounds. However, in recent years loss of summer sea ice over the continental shelf has forced many walruses to travel to the northwest coast of Alaska where they haul-out on shore to rest.

Canal Side Cycle Views
24/07/2010 14:36 by Amsterdamize
I was fortunate to be able to borrow a
's little (but sturdy) canal boat, aka The Red August, to cruise the city on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Every time I'm back on Amsterdam's water ways, I enjoy and welcome the change in perspective. It basically feels the same way that cycling does, as in: you're among many likeminded people (and with boating you DO give each other a quick nod or even wave) and you don't have a care in the world. Added bonus: it really is the best escape... without fleeing the city. No obstructions, go as you please and
so much more (time) to observe
, taking advantage of an extra layer, dimension, a slightly better backdrop.

If only one Rich did 60, then your number is not correct for sure.
You must have misread my post. I've got about 60 HRs documented by D*. I never opened that many up. I don't know how many of my owned HRs have been opened and had a large HDD installed in them over the years. I'd guess I've opened about 20 or 30. I have to keep external drives on my leased HRs so I can keep track of what's leased and what's owned. Every time an owned HR fails I take the HDD out and put it in it's replacement. I have no real idea how many times I've done this. Four times in the last two months.

The Photosimile 300 software controls and automates every aspect of the photography, processing and stitching workflows. Though USB connections to the studio and compatible camera, users can control camera, lighting and turntable settings then take pictures with their mouse.
Still Image Photography
Simply place an object inside the studio. Preview the object using live preview on your monitor screen. Compose by adjusting position and camera settings. Click Snap to take the picture. The image is automatically downloaded to the computer to the computer monitor for immediate viewing, editing and saving.
- Traditional: Ortery's patented symmetrical lighting creates color accurate, shadow-free photos

360 Imaging
Simply place an object in the center of the turntable. Capture between 4 and 360 individual images per rotation. The 360 image capture process is completely automated via USB as software synchronizes picture taking and turntable movement. Captured images can be exported or directly stitched in the software to create interactive 360 product views in HTML5, Flash or GIF formats.
Still Sequence Photography
Use the studio, software and multiple compatible cameras to quickly create a sequence of still photos from multiple angles.
Precise, Repeatable Angles
Computer-controlled automation allows for maximum efficiencies and precise shooting angles every time.
Professional Lighting
Professional photography starts with great lighting. Photosimile 300 provides dimmable light control from the top, front and back wall. Regardless of photography experience, you have creative control to take consistent, color-accurate, shadow-free photos. The studio utilizes 14 daylight (6,500K) fluorescent bulbs to almost eliminate the need for image editing. Each lamp lasts 15,000 hours.
Easy to Use
Photosimile 300 is designed for users of any skill level. In just minutes, users are able to setup the studio, install the software and get started capturing still images and creating 360 product views. Lighting, camera and saving settings can be memorized and re-used to obtain consistent results time after time.
Fast & Efficient
By integrating the image capture, processing and saving workflows in the Software, users are able to eliminate many tedious, time consuming tasks that are common to the normal product photography workflow. Compose, capture and batch save still shots in just seconds. Create 24 frame 360 product views (from beginning to end) in less than 5 minutes per product. Photosimile 300 is an excellent production tool. No project is too large or too small.
Top Shot & Side Shot Capability
Users have the ability to shoot either through the front using a tripod or from the top down.
Multiple Camera Control
Simultaneously control and take pictures with multiple Canon DSLR cameras attached to the system. Use the Custom Define feature, built in turntable and multiple cameras to quickly create the sequence of images you need.
Free Technical Support, One-Year Free Software Upgrades & One-Year Warranty
Large Live Preview
The software displays camera live view as a real-time preview on the computer monitor. In the real time preview, users can make camera, lighting, object position and crop adjustments to compose the picture while viewing the results live before taking any pictures. The real-time preview is also great at ensuring there are no hot spots or reflections and that objects are centered correctly on the turntable before shooting a 360 or 3D product view.
Crop can be set as:
- Free Form – Adjust crop as required
- Fixed Ratio – Pre-define an aspect ratio that will constrain the crop to a specific size (ex. 4 x 3)
- Square – Crop in a perfect squar
This feature allows users to overlay a transparent image of a previous shot on the Preview to ensure that future shots are all taken at the same, consistent angle.
*Highlight Alert
When activated, this feature will highlight the parts of the picture that will be pure white in the final output.
Image Editing
Still Image Saving
*Advanced Batch Saving
Create and re-use custom saving profiles to batch save images in several formats. Options include:

A practical use for this feature is to simultaneously save captured images as a thumbnail, product shot, oversized product shot and as the original master – to different folders with different names, sizes and with other unique features.
*Direct Image Export
Enabling this feature means captured images can be instantly renamed, resized, set to a specific resolution and watermarked before being immediately saved to local or network folder or opened inside Photoshop or some other image editing program.
*Program Link
*Send an eMail
Captured image(s) can be instantly attached to an outgoing email. This feature, combined with image annotations, makes an excellent business communication tool.
Individual Frame Export / Import in 360 Mode
The individual JPG and/or RAW images captured in 360 can be exported for use in any application. JPG or PNG* images can then be imported back in for stitching into an interactive 360 view in HTML5 or Flash. During the import images can be batch re-sized and watermarked with a customized logo.
Integrated 360 Stitching in HTML5, GIF or Flash
Capture then instantly stitch the images into a 360 product view in HTML5, GIF or Flash. When composing the 360 view, users will choose output format, spin direction and rotation speed.

Nigella Lawson's Husband Admits to Assaulting Her
After pictures surfaced showing what appeared to be a disturbing fight between celebrity chef Nigella Lawson and her husband, Charles Saatchi, the law has finally caught up with the aggressor.
The photos, which showed Charles with his hands around his wife's neck, were initially explained away by the ad exec and art collector in a statement to the London Evening Standard. "About a week ago, we were sitting outside a restaurant having an intense debate about the children, and I held Nigella's neck repeatedly while attempting to emphasize my point. There was no grip, it was a playful tiff. The pictures are horrific but give a far more drastic and violent impression of what took place."
Apparently, he's the only one under the impression that the fight was entirely playful, as his wife has moved her two children, Cosima and Bruno, from their shared home and are staying with friends indefinitely.
Following a five-hour questioning session, British police have also issued Charles a caution for assault, which he has accepted, according to Us Weekly.
The charge, which carries no fine or imprisonment, is essentially a ticket telling you that you should never have assaulted your wife and then lied about it.
We hope the family can get the help they need.

Nice, sure is pretty. A bit far away from the fantasy theme I usually spend time on, so not sure what else to say.
these are all different fantasy gaming worlds which can be reach by spell jamming. although this new map looks a little to scifi for me.
Love the idea, and it's coming together nicely. I might have to do a similar thing myself. Where did the planets come from? Did you make them in Fractal Terrain or something?
the planets where either spherized world maps, created win phtoshop or created with a photoshop planet generator.

Garnish individual servings of soup with BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream, chopped red peppers and chopped cilantro.
Beans and peas, such as lentils, black beans, kidney beans and garbanzo beans (chickpeas), can be used to add color, flavor and texture to your favorite soup or salad.
When using canned beans, simply drain the beans, then rinse well before using as directed. Since brands of beans vary in firmness, experiment with different brands until you find one you like. Dried beans on the other hand require a soaking process to make them edible. Start by washing the beans to remove any outside dirt. To quick-soak the beans, cover beans with 3 to 4 inches of water then bring to a boil. Cook 2 min. then cover the pot and remove from heat. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Drain beans, discarding the water before using as directed. To soak the beans overnight, cover the beans with 3 to 4 inches of water then let stand at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain beans, then discard the water before using as directed.
Family and friends alike are sure to love the warmth and comfort of this low-calorie soup. As a bonus, not only is this soup low in total fat and saturated fat-free but it is also an excellent source of iron and fiber from beans.
* Nutrition information is estimated based on the ingredients and cooking instructions as described in each recipe and is intended to be used for informational purposes only. Please note that nutrition details may vary based on methods of preparation, origin and freshness of ingredients used.
It really needed extra seasonings so I added cumin, onion and garlic powder, garlic salt and even a beef bouillon cube. I also added hominy for texture because it was not as hearty and more runny than the recipe picture. It still lacked flavor so I added green onion, cilantro and sour cream to garnish. It finally had some mexican flavors, but will not make this recipe again.
I've made this recipe several times, we LOVE it! I add about 1/2 cup extra of brown rice and I season with a little salt. This recipe is great with cornbread on the side.

As the title states, this map was originally made for the March Challenge. Ravells suggested that I enter it in the annual One Page Dungeon Contest that runs in April. The Challenge map and write-up are way to large to compress onto one page so I cut the map in half and whittled down the room and trap descriptions. What I finished with just barely fit on a single page. The map is so reduced it has no details so I included a link to the full map that I posted at rpgMapshare.
Now I'm going to post both maps together here so you can see what changes I had to make.
In the attachments below are the full map write-up in .rtf format and the One Page Dungeon entry in .pdf.

NEW YORK -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc., says it expects to hire more than 50,000 temporary employees this holiday season and will be offering more hours to its existing workers.

The world's largest retailer says that this year's hiring will be up slightly from last year, although it declined to give a precise figure for the increase. The discounter operates more than 4,000 stores in the U.S. and employs about 1.4 million people nationwide.
This week's announcement follows one by Kohl's earlier this week indicating its stores will be hiring more than 52,700 people, up more than 10 percent from last year.

Leslie Ghiz has angered some Occupy Cincinnati supporters by posting on her Facebook page the home and email address of one individual and the email address of another who criticized her for pressuring City Manager Milton Dohoney to kick the protesters out of the park. The two individuals wrote to Ghiz's campaign, according to Ghiz.
After two days of testimony, the criminal trespassing trial of some Occupy Cincinnati protestors has been continued until Jan. 30 while attorneys on both sides continue to negotiate a possible resolution.
Meanwhile, the Occupy Cincinnati group isn't resting; it will stage an event called "Recharge Weekend" on Saturday and Sunday, designed to boost the morale of participants and devise a more precise, clear agenda for moving forward.
Despite the economic troubles affecting the state, Ohioans are smoking more than ever, according to a study that found the highest percentage point increase of any state. An official with the Ohio Department of Health attributes the increase to the stress people are under, though the Ohio General Assembly also cut funding to the state's smoking cessation help line, so there's that. Ohio ranked as the 36th healthiest state in 2011, down from 33 rd in 2010, while Indiana came in at 38th and Kentucky 43rd.
Occupy D.C. protesters built some type of structure in a park Saturday night, and police on Sunday notified them that they didn't have a permit and took it down, arresting dozens in the process. It was a pretty nice structure, though.
More than 20 Occupy Cincinnati protesters were arrested last night just hours before a morning parade was scheduled to celebrate the life of local billionaire Carl Lindner, who died on Monday. The Enquirer's homepage this morning includes a lengthy account of the arrests and reactions by Occupy, along with a live feed covering the parade, which was to begin at Great American Ball Park and end near a Kenwood restaurant where Lindner enjoyed eating.
Lindner supporters gathered at various locations along the parade route, including dozens of Cincinnati Police standing outside District 1 around 9 a.m. Students stood outside a school on 9th Street singing songs about going to heaven. (Occupy Cincinnati representatives have not acknowledged the correlation.)
A federal judge has ordered police to stop ticketing Occupy Cincinnati protesters after the group filed a lawsuit against the city for banning people from Piatt Park when it closes. The city has already ticketed protesters approximately $25,000.
J. Robert Linneman, one of the attorneys who filed the suit, according to Bloomberg Businessweek:
"This case is not about the whether you agree with the political views of Occupy Cincinnati or Occupy Wall Street; it's about the right of the people to assemble in a public park and to engage in protected speech."
We reported here yesterday that City Councilwoman Leslie Ghiz posted personal information on Facebook about two citizens who had emailed criticism about her pressuring of City Manager Milton Dohoney to remove the Occupy Cincinnati protesters. The news quickly spread on Twitter (which you can follow in our live aggregator below), and Ghiz removed the posts shortly thereafter.
The incident might not seem like the hugest deal — largely a petty socio-political discussion on a conservative's personal Facebook page among a bunch of likeminded people. But the publication of the home and email address of a citizen who opposes an elected official crosses a major ethical line.
We purposely didn't publish screen shots of the posts due to the private information involved. It would have been relevant only in demonstrating the pettiness with which Ghiz offered the critics' opinions to her collection of angry friends. "These are some of the lovely emails my campaign has been getting because I believe the law should be applied evenly and equally to everyone," the first introduction reads. How does she expect people to react to such sarcasm? "Oh dear, Leslie, I also care not for such a movement and its collection of anarchic rogues. Let me set down my tea cup and console you."
A new study has found high levels of arsenic in fruit juices that millions of kids are drinking because there's pictures of actual food on the label. Too bad government regulation is just a big waste of money that hurts the economy.
A full 10 percent of the juices tested by the magazine had arsenic levels higher than what is allowed in water by the Food and Drug Administration.
"What we're talking about here is not acute affects," Urvashi Rangan, director of safety and sustainability at Consumer Reports, told TODAY. "We're talking about chronic effects. We're talking about cancer risk. And so, the fact that 10 percent of our samples exceeded the drinking water standard underscores the need for a standard to be set in juices."
Consumer Reports tested 88 samples of apple and grape juices sold around the country. Included among those tested were popular juices like Minute Maid, Welch's and Tropicana.
The city of Cincinnati and Occupy protesters have reached a legal settlement that will erase criminal charges against protesters and designate part of Piatt Park a 24-hour public space for one year. The open space will still be subject to park rules, which include the "prohibition or restriction on noise, encampments, open flames, tents, and common law nuisance principles."
The Enquirer reported
today that the settlement was expected to be filed in court this morning. The settlement will end protesters' federal lawsuit
against the city, which was based on the First Amendment right to
peaceably assemble. The far eastern section of the park, which is
where Occupy Cincinnati set up its encampment starting in October and
where many of the arrests occurred, will reportedly be designated a
12-hour public space for one year beginning 10 p.m. March 19.
Should the city refuse to extend the Open Period, Occupy protesters are allowed to institute a new lawsuit challenging the park rules.
The city has agreed to install new signage at the park noting its modified closing time and will install signage or placards at least 14 days prior to the open time's scheduled expiration at 11:59 p.m. March 18, 2013.
The city retains the right to terminate the Open Period should park rules not be followed. According to the lawsuit:

A romantic all inclusive St. Lucia vacation changes your life forever, with marvelous memories to last a lifetime. There's something about being on a tiny island, surrounded by nothing but the ocean, and being thousands of miles away from home that tends to put things into perspective. Not to mention the blissful feeling that comes with being in a tropical paradise you imagine must have fell out of heaven!
When it comes to scuba diving in St Lucia, from the north to the south of the island, there's much to be discovered beneath the deep, blue sea. Last week we shared our picks of the top four (non-inclusive) dive sites on the island. This week we've put together a listing of the inclusive sites that are part of Rendezvous' exclusive package, starting with the popular North Beach in Cap Estate!
North Beach
This is the northernmost dive site where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea. Max depth 18m/60ft. A variety of vertebrates and invertebrates are seen at this dive site off Cap Estate. Look out for the Scorpion Fish and the Flying Gurnard Fish.
Smugglers Cove
Located about 15 minutes from the BodyHoliday Resort in the north of the island, this is a gentle site witha maximum depth of 10m or 30 ft. This is a great site to spot stingrays and the layout of the reef is also very interesting.
Secret Garden
This site is part of an area covered in corals that lies just above Pigeon Island. Maximum depth is 40ft /12m. Here we see hundreds of sea fans and sea plums following the gentle movement of the sea. This 'secret' holds many crevices in the rocks for divers to explore. Amongst the normal encountered species are Lobsters, Octopus, Flamingo Tongue and the colorful Yellowtail Damsel Fish or Disco Fish as we call them.
Burgot Rocks
To the West of Pigeon Island in the north, two rock formations rise above the surface. Max depth 18m/60ft. This is an interesting dive with lots of canyons to swim between. Here you see the male Sergeant Major Fish protecting the fish eggs, fending off other fish making attempts to eat these eggs.
Pigeon Drift
This is located at the base of Pigeon Island, one of the historic landmarks of St. Lucia. Depth starts from 5m/15ft - 18m/60ft with a drift taking you around the northern point. You can see lots of shoals of fish from French Grunts to Creole Wrasse. There's also a pretty good chance that you'll see turtles and rays!
La Roche
Just off Windjammer, this dive site is the rock you will see if you're standing on the beach and looking north. Here we usually see enormous lobsters and big schools of Southern Senetts, which are in the same family as the Barracuda. Maximum depth 50ft/15m, and the landscape features lots of small canyons.
Bay Garden
Located about a mile outside Rendezvous, this reef lies between 12m/40ft to 15m/50ft of water. On this reef we find what looks like an old torpedo as well as a boiler and parts of a wreck. We normally also spot big Lobsters, Angel Fishes, big Puffer Fishes as well as Stingrays.
Choc Reef
A reef just a mile off Rendezvous; this is a very good place for the Discover Scuba Diving as it is a shallow reef that goes down to 30ft/10m maximum. There are sandy areas in-between the corals and the reef is host to many juvenile fishes or baby fishes. The young ones are often more colorful than the adults, and we'll find that a lot of them are changing color and sometimes even gender as they grow older.
Malabar Reef
Located three miles outside Rendezvous. Max depth 30m/100ft plus. The reef starts at 25m therefore this dive is for Advanced Divers. Lobsters, Creole Wrasse, Sea Whip Gorgonians and Wire Coral can be seen here.

Managing inflammation is crucial to keeping your horse comfortable and maintaining joint and tissue health, whether he is hard working or retired. If you're concerned about inflammation, talk to your veterinarian about whether a prescription medication like Equioxx, bute, Banamine, or Surpass may be appropriate.
In addition, consider adding an equine inflammation management supplement. Supplements in this category provide MSM and herbs like devil's claw and yucca to support a healthy inflammatory response and help manage the discomfort associated with normal exercise and aging. For more comprehensive support, consider a formula that also includes glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid.

By JOHN A
from INDIANAPOLIS, IN
The case is used for my Canon VIXIA HV40 Camcorder and it accomodates the camera, the shoulder strap, one cassette, and the cord and charger, but nothing more. It is small, easily carried, but will hold very few accessories such as a spare battery. It is well constructed and I chose it over other cases primarily due to appearance and small size making it easy to carry and travel about with..

I was impressed with the durable quality of the material. I just wish I had gotten a little larger case to hold my camcorder instruction manual. But overall I'm very satisfied with the case.

By JASON
from Undisclosed
This bag is very good, On the find your product thing, it says that the sony nex-3 doesn't fit, but I've mannaged to fit, the body, minolta 50mm, the 16mm kit lens, the 30mm macro alpha mount lens, and the la-ea1 adapter all inside, along with the various body caps and sd cards in the saddle bags(side pockets). This is a great bag for a m4/3 or nex camera and a couple lenses too. Build quality, looks, and padding are all good, except the padding on the bottom of the bag could be a little thicker... Only a problem if you really slam your camera bag down, so be gentile.

New Orleans Saints rookie WR Michael Thomas has impressed head coach Sean Payton with his hands so far this offseason.
Huddle Up: The rookie is expected to step directly into the Saints' receiver rotation, quite possibly into Marques Colston's role and targets. A lot to ask of a rookie who didn't post particularly big numbers in college, but Thomas has the talent to make an immediate fantasy impact in that role.
Posted: 5/23/2016 12:08pm et
Cleveland Browns WR Corey Coleman should see the ball early and often, according to beat writer Mary Kay Cabot, and she believes he will take over as the No. 1 receiver immediately.
Huddle Up: Gutsy call, Mav; and who exactly is Coleman's competition for the Browns' No. 1 wide receiver? Josh Gordon isn't returning any time soon, Travis Benjamin is in San Diego... the whole reason the Browns drafted Coleman was to add a playmaking pass-catcher to an offense devoid of one. Put another way: if Coleman doesn't take over as the team's No. 1 receiver immediately, this new Browns' administration will be out of work before you can list all the quarterbacks who have taken snaps for Cleveland since Bernie Kosar stepped away from the game.

Updating a previous item, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports C Jason Brown agreed to terms with the Rams on a five-year contract worth $37.5 million with $20 million guaranteed.
Huddle Up: The Dolphins were supposed to be the most interested party, and the Vikings also were alleged to have interest in Brown. However, neither team was willing to match the Rams' substantial offer.
Posted: 5/13/2016 9:50am et
Miami Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake will be used in as many ways as possible as a rookie. 'You look at his career, he's done a little bit of everything,' special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi said. 'He's caught passes. He's run the ball well. He's had high yards per carry. He's caught the ball out of the backfield. He's covered kicks.'
Huddle Up: The Dolphins made Drake a third-round pick because of his speed, but as he's never had more than 107 touches from scrimmage in a season it remains to be seen if he can be more than a gadget in the Miami offense.
Posted: 5/9/2016 11:20am et
Washington Redskins QB Nate Sudfeld, RB Keith Marshall, S Su'a Cravens, DT Matt Ioannidis and LB Steven Daniels signed their rookie deals Monday, May 9.
Huddle Up: Of this group Marshall has the most fantasy upside. If healthy, he could supplant Chris Thompson as the Redskins' pass-catching back and perhaps even push Matt Jones for feature-back carries.
Posted: 5/9/2016 11:20am et
Washington Redskins WR Josh Doctson signed his rookie contract Monday, May 9.
Huddle Up: Doctson should now be available for all of Washington's offseason workouts, giving him the opportunity to learn the offense and acclimate to Kirk Cousins in time to make an immediate impact once the fantasy season kicks off.
Posted: 5/9/2016 11:20am et
Free-agent WR Andre Davis (Buccaneers) re-signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Monday, May 9.
Huddle Up: Davis will battle for looks at the back end of the Buccaneers' receiver rotation.
Posted: 4/29/2016 12:33pm et
Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff starting the season opener is the goal for the team, according to head coach Jeff Fisher.
Huddle Up: Given what the Rams traded to move up to select Goff, and the dearth of quarterback talent on the Los Angeles depth chart, Goff failing to start the opener would be a huge disappointment.
Posted: 4/29/2016 12:33pm et
Denver Broncos QB Paxton Lynch was being pursued by the Dallas Cowboys, but Dallas was unable to find a trade partner to move back into the first round of the 2016 NFL draft, according to sources.
Huddle Up: The Cowboys could still make a play for Connor Cook as their developmental quarterback, though they pick third in the second round behind the Browns and Titans.
Posted: 4/29/2016 12:33pm et
Cleveland Browns WR Corey Coleman has the speed to turn short plays into long plays and will be a dynamic weapon in the offense, according to general manager Sashi Brown.
Huddle Up: Coleman does give the Browns an explosive playmaker, but he'll need to dramatically improve his route-running or depend on the Browns to manufacture ways to get him the ball for him to have an immediate impact.
Posted: 4/29/2016 12:33pm et
Houston Texans WR Will Fuller's speed adds a new element to the offense, according to head coach Bill O'Brien.
Huddle Up: Fuller is a tremendous complement to a Houston offense that completely re-tooled this offseason. He doesn't have to be the go-to receiver--DeAndre Hopkins has that covered--and the Texans bring plenty to the table in the ground game with free agent signee Lamar Miller. In short, the team has done a great job of giving Brock Osweiler the tools he needs to succeed--and in the process bullt a formidable fantasy attack.
Posted: 4/28/2016 11:13pm et
The Washington Redskins selected Texas Christian WR Josh Doctson with the 22nd overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft on Thursday, April 28.
Huddle Up: Washington nabbed the third wideout taken in the first round, giving Kirk Cousins a strong trio of wideouts in Doctson, DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon. Throw in TE Jordan Reed, and the D.C. passing game suddenly has been elevated to one of the league's best.
Posted: 4/25/2016 10:47am et
California QB Jared Goff is the player the Los Angeles Rams are targeting with the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, according to beat writer Sam Farmer. Farmer said he initially believed North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz was the pick, but he said he misread the signs.
Huddle Up: Signs, signs, everywhere's there's signs. Quarterbacks are going one-two in the draft, and now the consensus is that Goff will go to the Rams. Whomever LA drafts, they still have to beat out Case Keenum.
Posted: 4/25/2016 10:47am et
San Diego Chargers general manager Tom Telesco said the coaching staff has been talking about how to improve the run game, and they are going to 'strip it down and start over,' possibly with a new scheme.
Huddle Up: Whether it was the line or the scheme or Melvin Gordon or some combination of all of the above, the San Diego ground game didn't work last season. Perhaps a rebuild is a good thing.
Posted: 4/20/2016 10:39am et
The Philadelphia Eagles might be able to make a deal with the Cleveland Browns for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, as they like North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz. According to a source, such a deal would mean the Eagles send the Browns first- and third-round compensation in 2016 and 2017.
Huddle Up: The analytics could make sense for the Browns, as they are far more than one quarterback away from being a contender. Multiple early picks allow them to fill multiple holes, and they'll still have additional shots at a quarterback for Hue Jackson to develop later in Round 1 or early on Day Two. And of course there's always next year.
Posted: 4/14/2016 9:45am et
The Cleveland Browns have been called in regards to trading their No. 2 overall draft pick, according to director of football operations Sashi Brown. Brown expects more serious calls in about a week. He added that it's highly unlikely that the Browns would trade up to the No. 1 pick, but they could trade down in order to accrue more picks.
Huddle Up: At this point there's no reason to pile on the Browns with comments like "why whiff on one draft pick when you can trade down and whiff on multiple picks?", so we'll just note that Cleveland's roster could use a serious influx of talent and trading down for multiple picks would give them a better chance of undertaking that task sooner rather than later.
Posted: 3/29/2016 11:04am et
Mississippi WR Laquon Treadwell ran unofficial times of 4.65 seconds and 4.63 seconds at Mississippi's pro day Monday, March 28.
Huddle Up: While slower than many of his positional colleagues, this time should come as no surprise to anyone who's seen Treadwell play. He's not a burner, yet he still gets separation and makes plays down the field. That 40 time might scare off a top-10 team who figures they can get a faster (though perhaps less effective) receiver in a later round, but Treadwell is still the most likely candidate to be the first wide receiver off the draft board.

Arizona Cardinals OG Mike Iupati (neck) has been cleared for the Week 11 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach Bruce Arians said Iupati suffered a double stinger.
Huddle Up: After the scary sight of Iupati being placed on a backboard and taken from the field in an ambulance, it's great news that he's been cleared to return. The Arizona ground game is thrilled as well.
Posted: 11/16/2015 12:19pm et
New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was fired Monday, Nov. 16, according to two sources.
Huddle Up: In the least surprising move ever, the Saints finally fired Ryan. The Saints rank last in the league in both yards and points allowed and are on pace to give up the most touchdown passes in NFL history. You have to wonder how much longer being Buddy's son gets Rob work.
Posted: 9/9/2015 9:30am et
Atlanta Falcons OG Andy Levitre restructured his deal and is due $23.25 million through 2018 instead of $27.3 million. He has no guaranteed money past 2015. His 2015 salary was reduced from $6.5 million to $1.5 million with a $5.5 million signing bonus.
Huddle Up: Levitre signed his big deal with the Titans but never quite fit there; we'll see if Atlanta is a better schematic fit. If the Falcons get Buffalo-era Levitre it will be a huge boost to their retooled offensive line.
Posted: 9/9/2015 9:30am et
New Orleans Saints C Max Unger restructured his contract to convert $3 million of his $4.5 million base salary into a signing bonus Wednesday, Sept. 9. It created $1.5 million in cap room.
Huddle Up: Unger's addition upgrades the Saints line and positions them well as they transition to a more ground-oriented offense. Of course, the additional protection he affords Drew Brees doesn't hurt, either.
Posted: 8/31/2015 8:34am et
Oakland Raiders OT Menelik Watson (Achilles') said on Twitter that he is out for the season with a ruptured Achilles.
Huddle Up: Watson's loss is a blow to the rejuvenated Raiders offense, though they do have an experienced replacement in Austin Howard.
Posted: 8/10/2015 2:59pm et
Cleveland Browns OT Joe Thomas (knee) suffered a knee injury during practice Monday, Aug. 10, but head coach Mike Pettine does not believe the injury is serious.
Huddle Up: Thomas has never missed a game in his NFL career and this injury appears to be minor. Thomas is the anchor of the Browns' rushing attack.
Posted: 7/27/2015 3:22pm et
Carolina Panthers OT Jonathan Martin (back) has chosen to retire. Martin will need surgery on his injured back.
Huddle Up: Martin is only 25. Martin was the 42nd overall pick by the Dolphins in 2012 but struggled in the NFL. Still, the loss of Martin leaves Carolina thin at the tackle position heading into the season.
Posted: 6/13/2015 1:50pm et
Free-agent OG Evan Mathis (Eagles) has received interest from at least six teams since he was released but may not make a quick decision on his next team, according to his agent.
Huddle Up: Mathis was not a fit with Chip Kelly, but the two-time Pro Bowl guard still has something left in the tank and should be able to find work sooner rather than later.

Budget Realities come Home To Roost
Like the proponents of Ohio's Issue 2 tried to point out before the November vote, keeping the status quo for Ohio public union salaries, benefits, and pensions was unsustainable. A yes vote would've kept Ohio Senate Bill 5 as law, and tried to reign in the runaway spending and debt being heaped on the state. Unions spent over $50M to defeat Issue 2, as evidenced by | Read More »

With the risk of being killed, I'm bored and thought I would have some fun. Any comments or other ideas?
not bad.

Go with red pants and you'd have a winner. I was always intrigued by the idea of a white helmet, and adding some more white to our unis.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
Starting with the white gives you three colors (cardinal, gold, & white) to mix it up for various special occassions - three different color combinations for helmets, jerseys, pants.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion - no matter how wrong they may be.
I'll get the red pants done around 830ish when I can get some time. Any more suggestion?
This would be sweet:

please no Cardinal pants,.....ever.
what about cheerleader uniforms?
please no Cardinal pants,.....ever.
we already wear them?
how about trying the gold or cardinal jerseys with the white pants?

So you don't like our current road unis? I think those are some of the best uniforms ISU has ever worn.

That uni is badass! I'm 100% down with it.
Good find!

Heres a look at the cardinal pants and then the other jerseys on white pants.

Yeah these would be some of the best in the nation. They look BAD ARSE!
I also like the all white look or even the white tops with cardinal pants. I'm just not sure about the white helmets with the colored tops.
For some reason I don't like the yellow top with white pants.
