Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers have scored their first-ever U.S. No. 1 album.
"Hypnotic Eye" becomes the group's first release to top the Billboard 200 in the band's 37-year history.
The album sold 131,000 copies in its first week, and becomes Petty's best debut since his solo album "Wildflowers" opened with 161,000 sales in 1994.
Sales for "Hypnotic Eye" were boosted by an album promotion with Petty's current concert tour – fans who bought a ticket to Petty's shows had the option of also receiving the album as part of their purchase.
Another old-time rocker, Eric Clapton, is also celebrating after debuting his JJ Cale tribute, "The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale," at number two with 61,000 first-week sales.
"The Guardians of the Galaxy" soundtrack has missed out on the number two spot by just 1,000 sales, while last week's number one album from 5 Seconds of Summer falls to four and singer Shawn Mendes rounds out the new top five with his self-titled debut.
That means the "Frozen" soundtrack has finally fallen out of the top five, after 31 weeks. The former chart-topper slides from two to six on the new countdown.

Rockville Centre letters to the editor
(Page 3 of 3)
People often think they're "rescuing" a puppy when they buy from a pet store, but the dogs that need rescuing are the parents in the puppy mills. The only way to do this is to stop the cycle. No responsible breeder allows a pet store to sell their precious puppies. If we all stop giving our business to pet shops that sell puppies, the inhumane mass breeding operations that supply them will eventually have to go out of business.
Karin Johnson
Rockville Centre
She's with Kremer
To the Editor:
I never send emails to comment on articles I've read, but Jerry Kremer's column ("How in the world would Republicans move us forward?" Sept. 20-26) moved me to action. He managed to make the easiest, most informed and honest statement of truth on the subject of our miserable government. The Republicans are nasty and hateful and the worst choice for getting us back on track.
I can't believe so many Americans are buying into this hogwash of misrepresentations. I know President Obama isn't perfect, but given all the help from across the aisle he hasn't gotten, who knows what he could have accomplished?
Cable politics today is all about media making money on the divisiveness of our two-party system. It's like the attention given to accident victims after a crash on the highway: Traffic is tied up for hours due to rubbernecking. Our ignorant and ill-informed population buys into the outrageous nonsense put forth to propagate this media money machine.
Bill Clinton's speech at the Democratic convention (and a later appearance on Jon Stewart's "Daily Show") was the only real common-sense explanation of what needed to be said. Thank you so much, Jerry, for being one of the truth-sayers.

|Pastor Hatteberg installed at St. Paul's in Amherst and Venango
|Written by Jes-C Brandt
"This was my first call into the church," said Kurt Hatteberg when discussing his new position as pastor at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Amherst and Venango, Neb. Having been in Amherst for only a couple weeks, Hatteberg already feels very close to the congregation and the community.
Before he and his wife Suzan came to Amherst, Hatteberg spent most of his life living in Minnesota. There he was a farmer in a town not much bigger than Amherst. So moving to rural Colorado, he said, was no shock for him.
After spending his life in one place as a farmer, his new career and location seem curious. Hatteberg gladly shared his story.
In his former church they went without a permanent pastor for three years. Although they got by, the experience opened Hatteberg's eyes to a need for pastors, especially in small towns.
Missions work was the first thought Hatteberg had, but after discussions with his wife and others, he made the decision to attend seminary and become a pastor.
Leaving Minnesota, Hatteberg gave up the comfort of his home and church and close proximity to his children and grandchildren to pursue a new path he was called to. While the transition had the potential to be difficult, he said the incredible amount of support and encouragement along the way made it possible.
"It's hard to leave one place, but they've been so receiving here," he said. "It feels like I'm coming home; this is home."
Hatteberg attended Riverland Community College for his undergraduate studies starting in 2001. Following his completion there, he went to Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Ind. Admittedly, it was tough to get back in the swing of things, but going back to school was very rewarding.
Relationships were built at seminary that have been very helpful as the graduates go out and begin their lives as pastors.
Speaking on the church family, Hatteberg commended the sense of community between the Holyoke, Amherst and Venango Lutheran churches. It's like an extended family, he said, that reaches even past these communities.
In the future, Hatteberg believes there will be growth in the church because there is a good faith in the community, and they have a good outlook and attitude.
The congregation has been welcoming and helpful as their new pastor adjusts. They will undoubtably be essential to the growth that Hatteberg hopes for.
Between getting settled in and working at the church, Hatteberg and his wife have been getting to know the area. They've enjoyed trying new restaurants, meeting new people and traveling around nearby towns.

Paying for Complementary Health Approaches
On This Page
- Introduction
- Spending on Complementary Health Approaches in the United States
- Paying for Complementary Health Approaches Out-of-Pocket
- Insurance Coverage of Complementary Health Approaches
- Asking Complementary Health Practitioners About Payment
- Federal Health Benefit Programs
- NCCIH's Role
- For More Information
Many Americans using or thinking about using complementary health products or practices may have questions about paying for them. This fact sheet provides a general overview of related topics and suggests sources for additional information.
Spending on Complementary Health Approaches in the United States
According to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), U.S. adults spent an estimated $33.9 billion out-of-pocket on complementary health approaches in the previous 12 months. They spent about two-thirds ($22.0 billion) on self-care costs (i.e., products, classes, and materials), and the remaining one-third ($11.9 billion) on visits to complementary health practitioners. The $33.9 billion represented approximately 1.5 percent of total health care spending but 11.2 percent of total out-of-pocket health care spending in the United States.
Paying for Complementary Health Approaches Out-of-Pocket
People often pay for complementary health services and products themselves—that is, "out-of-pocket." For example, the 2007 NHIS found that about one-third of uninsured respondents younger than age 65 used complementary health approaches. Also, even if you have health insurance, your plan may not cover some or all complementary products or practices.
Insurance Coverage of Complementary Health Approaches
Insurance coverage of complementary health approaches is complex and confusing—so much so that it's almost impossible to make any general statements about it. Coverage may vary greatly depending on state laws, regulations, and differences among specific insurance plans. If you would like to use a complementary approach and you're wondering whether your health insurance will cover it, it's a good idea to do some investigating. Contacting your health insurance provider is a good way to start.
Questions you may want to ask your insurance provider include the following:
- Is this complementary approach covered for my health condition?
- Does it need to be
- Preauthorized or preapproved?
- Ordered by a prescription?
- Do I need a referral?
- Do I have to see a practitioner in your network to be covered?
- Do I have any coverage if I go out-of-network?
- Are there any limits and requirements—for example, on the number of visits or the amount you will pay?
- How much do I have to pay out-of-pocket?
It's always a good idea to keep records about all contacts you have with your insurance company, including notes on calls and copies of bills, claims, and letters. This will help if a dispute arises about a claim.
If you're choosing a new health insurance plan, you may want to ask the insurance provider about coverage of complementary health approaches. Some insurance plans cover selected complementary approaches by allowing participants to purchase special "riders"—or supplements—to their standard health insurance plans. Some offer discount programs, in which plan members pay for complementary approaches out-of-pocket but at a discounted rate.
General information on health plans and benefits is available from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Sources of Information on Insurers
Your state insurance department may be able to help you determine which insurance companies cover specific complementary health approaches. Contact information for state and local consumer agencies, including insurance regulators.
Professional associations for complementary health specialties may monitor insurance coverage and reimbursement in their field. You can ask a reference librarian for help or search for them on the Internet. The National Library of Medicine's Directory of Health Organizations is a database that contains information about a variety of health organizations and associations.
Asking Complementary Health Practitioners About Payment
If you are planning to use a complementary approach provided by a practitioner, it is important to understand about payment. Here are some questions to ask the practitioner:
- Costs: What does the first appointment cost? What do followup appointments cost? How many appointments am I likely to need? Are there any additional costs (e.g., tests, equipment, supplements)?
- Insurance: Do you accept my insurance plan? What has been your experience with my plan's coverage for people with my condition? Do I file the claims, or do you take care of that?
Tax-Related Matters
Two kinds of tax-exempt accounts help people save money for health expenses and may help you cover the costs of some complementary health approaches. The flexible spending arrangement is a benefit offered by some employers; it allows you to set aside pretax dollars (generally, each pay period) for health-related expenses. The health savings account is for people who participate in high-deductible health plans; you, not an employer, establish this kind of account. For more information, see Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Publication 969, Health Savings Accounts and Other Tax-Favored Health Plans (1.2MB PDF).
Some expenses related to complementary health approaches may be tax deductible. For more information, see IRS Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses (1.4MB PDF).
Federal Health Benefit Programs
The Federal Government helps with at least some health expenses of people who are eligible for Federal health benefit programs, such as programs for veterans, people aged 65 and older (Medicare), and people who cannot afford health care (Medicaid, funded jointly with the states).
Information on health benefits for veterans is available from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Information on Medicare and Medicaid is available from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Two other Internet resources—Benefits.gov and USA.gov)—explain Federal health benefit programs. Benefits.gov has a test you can take about qualifying for programs. The Medicare program has a handbook that explains what services Medicare covers. It is available at www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/10050.pdf (4.7MB PDF).
NCCIH's Role
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) funds research that helps to build the evidence base used to make decisions about whether complementary health approaches are safe and effective. You can find out about NCCIH-sponsored research and about NCCIH-sponsored clinical trials (studies in people).
NCCIH, like other components of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is a medical research agency. NCCIH does not provide financial assistance to individuals who are seeking health care. For resources on financial assistance for medical care, visit Financial Assistance Information (NHGRI).
For More Information
NCCIH Clearinghouse
The NCCIH Clearinghouse provides information on NCCIH and complementary and integrative health approaches, including publications and searches of Federal databases of scientific and medical literature. The Clearinghouse does not provide medical advice, treatment recommendations, or referrals to practitioners.
A service of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), PubMed® contains publication information and (in most cases) brief summaries of articles from scientific and medical journals. For guidance from NCCIH on using PubMed, see How To Find Information About Complementary Health Approaches on PubMed
To provide resources that help answer health questions, MedlinePlus (a service of the National Library of Medicine) brings together authoritative information from the National Institutes of Health as well as other Government agencies and health-related organizations.

Skin Cancer Screening at FVH
(LE MARS) -- 40 to 50 percent of Americans who live to the age of 65 will have skin
cancer at least once-this is according to a press release from Floyd Valley Hospital.
After a summer of sun exposure, is your skin safe? Floyd Valley Hospital will be hosting
a Skin Cancer Screening this Wednesday at the Family Medicine Clinic, next to the
hospital, in Le Mars. Kari Daale is the Education Coordinator at the hospital. She tells us who should consider being screened.
Listen here
Early screening and detection is important for any kind of cancer, and with skin cancer
being so common, now is the time to get checked. If you're looking at a spot
on your skin right now and aren't sure whether or not it's worth it, Daale suggests
considering the ABC's.
Listen here
It's also important to take preventative measure when being in the sun, even in the cooler months. The easiest is to stay out of the sun at peak times-between 12n and 4, and to seek shade. Otherwise it's suggested to: slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen-with spf of 15 or more, slap on a hat and wrap around sunglasses.
The Skin Cancer Screening at Family Medicine Clinic in Le Mars is Wednesday, September 14th from 5:30 to 6:30pm. Floyd Valley Hospital recommends wearing loose clothing around any suspected areas and says to anticipate that there may be a wait, as it $2 check is done on a first come first served basis.

By Mark ChristensenNebraska Senator, Dist. 44 The Legislature has started all-day debate on priority bills. One of the priority bills that may come up for debate again this session, is Legislative Bill 543, introduced by Sen. Chambers. LB543 would repeal the death penalty in Nebraska and replace it with life without parole. It would be wrong if I did not tell you that from my point of view there seems to be a wind of change blowing in the Legislature regarding the death penalty in Nebraska. That is why I am asking for your feedback to find out where District 44 stands on the issue. The District has been strongly in favor of keeping it in the past, but I would like to know if there has been any changes. Many people are taking a practical approach to the issue, looking at a number of factors: how much it costs to litigate a death penalty case; how long it takes from sentencing to execution; the difficulty for the state to obtain the drugs for our method of lethal injection. The last time we actually executed someone in Nebraska was in 1994. This all leads for some to conclude that it's time to repeal the death penalty. Others say that our system that determines eligibility for the death penalty is broken, along with the disparity between the penalties people receive who commit similar types of murders is so wide that the system no longer delivers true justice. Of all the arguments, this one to me is the most valid. Justice should be fair, consistent, and swift. I am not a legal expert by any means, but I do believe we have potential options to improve the system, if we desire. One of the ideas would be to move away from a system that I believe subjectively "weighs" a list of aggravating circumstances against a list of mitigating circumstances. Instead, move to a system where any murder of the first degree in which there are two or more witnesses, incontrovertible DNA evidence, or a non-coerced confession, would be eligible for a death sentence. Even requiring two of those three standards to exist to get the death penalty could provide a more fair and certain application of the law. The length of time for justice to be given out could also be addressed, along with another method of execution if the drugs used in the method of lethal injection are unavailable. Appeals are essential to arriving at justice through fair due process. But, unending appeals that last 20 years or more are not effective or just. Other methods of execution that states have available to use are the firing squad, gas chamber and hanging. One or more could be used as a back up to lethal injection in Nebraska when the necessary drugs are not available. The bottom line is, that if those who believe there should be a death penalty for certain crimes in Nebraska do not find ways to fix some of the problems we have in the system, the death penalty may just get repealed. I would appreciate feedback from anyone in District 44 on some of the ideas for changes or the death penalty as a whole. Let me know your thoughts by contacting my office. Mark R. Christensen, PO Box 94604, Lincoln, NE 68509. 402-471-2805 or
Weekly Teleconference Update In his weekly teleconference call Tuesday, Christensen said he was just one of three senators voting against LB 528. The bill would allow medical providers to provide drugs to treat the partner of a person diagnosed with a sexually-transmitted disease. The bill advanced to select file on a 31-3 vote. Christensen was joined by Sen. Tom Hansen and Sen. Bill Kintner of Papillion in voting against the bill. Christensen said the governor thanked him for his opposition, which may signal the governor may veto the bill if it hits his desk. Sen. Tom Carlson's bill, LB 517, to create a statewide water sustainability task force passed first reading on a 36-0 vote. Christensen said the bill will likely be passed but he still has some reservations on what members are appointed as well senators having a seat at the table. As it's written, Carlson would be the only state senator on the task force, Christensen said. Carlson has requested $3 million to fund the task force. Christensen said that amount could be cut back as debate continues on the bill. Medicaid Expansion Christensen expects interesting debate when LB 577 hits the floor. The bill would expand Nebraska Medicaid by adding newly eligible adults under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare). The federal government will pay for the expansion of costs for the first three years. That level would gradually decrease to 90 percent in 2020. Christensen says he sees enough support in the body to pass it. He said the governor will veto the bill if passed. Christensen said the state can't rely on the federal government to meet their 90 percent obligation in the future. That would leave the state taxpayers to pick up the tab. Christensen acknowledges that people who can't afford health care need some type of protection. However, he said the answer is not emergency room care, which is some of the most expensive care available. The emergency room is often used by low-income people, even though it may not be an emergency. Until federal rules change to allow hospitals to turn away non-emergency patients, he doubts that trend will change. As it stands today, no hospital can refuse emergency room care. Park Fees Switched to Vehicles Christensen said he'd also like input from constituents on LB 362. This bill would add a $7 park fee to vehicle license fees and do away with annual park permits for state residents. There are a number of exemptions but believes the exemptions, such as for farm pickups, may go too far. Christensen said he's not in support of the change right now because there is no assurances some of that money will come back to western Nebraska. He said he'd welcome input on the bill. Senator MARK CHRISTENSEN's address is c/o State Capitol, P.O. Box 94604, Rm. 1000, Lincoln, NE 68509, Phone 402-471-2805, email:

Fmr President Musharraf's indictment polarizes Pakistanis
Update: Former Pakistan President Musharraf has just cheated life by escaping a
bombing that targeted his convoy, the Los Angels Times reports.
Newscast Media ISLAMABAD—After Pakistani court indicted former military dictator
Pervez Musharraf three days ago for treason relating to his imposition of emergency
rule in 2007, experts say the ruling is likely to further polarize Pakistan.
For the first time in Pakistan's history, a military general has been nationally indicted
for treason. The three-member special tribunal's Monday ruling – which charged
former President Pervez Musharraf on five counts relating to imposition of emergency
rule in 2007 – did not come as a surprise. The supreme court also ordered Musharraf's
arrest if he did not appear at Monday's hearing.
In November last year, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's center-right government
submitted a petition in the Supreme Court seeking trial of the former president and his
subordinate generals for declaring a state of emergency and suspending the
constitution at the end of his eight-year authoritarian rule from 1999 to 2008.
The ex-general's legal team has also repeatedly requested the court to exempt their
client from court appearances due to security risks. The Taliban and al Qaeda have
openly vowed to kill Musharraf, who in 2001 forged an alliance with the United States
in the "war on terror."
"I honor this court and prosecution. I strongly believe in law and don't have ego
problems. I have appeared in court 16 times in a year in Karachi, Islamabad and

As I have articulated earlier in these pages, we are living in an age of revolution—specifically of digital revolution, in which the continuous doubling of computer power, tripling of bandwidth, and the algorithmic spiraling of network effects are transforming all industries where information is a fundamental ingredient.
While the end products of the pharma industry are not (yet) 'information' per se, the dexterous application of knowledge affects every phase of the business—from drug discovery and design, to clinical trials, to FDA submissions, to the delivery and marketing of those (finally) approved products.And yet despite the fact that pharma cannot continue to flourish without knowledge-based innovation, it has been measurably among the worst industries in applying the new power of knowledge dexterity to its innovation business. Indeed, rather than being energized by the possibilities and promise of Speed of Change, the industry seems to have been paralyzed by it.
The proof: According to a new report published by Deloitte, the 12 largest pharma companies saw their ROI drop by 29 percent in the last year. The average internal rate of return for R&D dropped to 8.4 percent from 11.8 percent a year ago. "We continue to see a level of late-stage drug failures," says study author Julian Remnant. "That's something that should not be happening to the extent it still is."
Make no mistake: Drug discovery and development is difficult work, made more difficult by an obdurate FDA and increasingly elusive science (the easy molecules have all been taken). But there's something else involved, too.
The Bigger They Are ...
Over the last decade or so, with toes dangling over patent cliffs, companies choose to strap themselves together, in the hope that sheer size would cushion the fall.
Consolidation has made pharma slower, more risk averse, less innovative. John Lechleiter, CEO of Eli Lilly (one of the few companies that hasn't gone on an acquisition binge, by the way) put it like this in a November 2011 Wall Street Journal interview: "The wave of consolidation leaves only about a dozen multinational pharma companies that have global reach." And that's actually slowed the pace of innovation. "There's an innovation ecosystem," says Lechleiter, "and like any ecosystem, it can get out of balance."
It's not that size necessarily hampers innovation; certainly Apple has maintained its breathtaking pace despite its $100 billion size. But in the pharma industry, size seems to have obscured (or trampled) ways of thinking and being that are the true drivers of innovation.
For those who say that innovation in high science can't be rushed, consider this: Why were Craig Venter and Celera Genomics able to sequence the human genome at a fraction of the time and cost of Francis Collins and his team at NIH? We're not talking about a matter of months faster, but years faster. And not marginally cheaper, but an order of magnitude cheaper. Why?
Because Venter understood the dynamics of Speed of Change, and applied them boldly in his 'shotgun' sequencing approach.

Hi there, I Recently migrated from one server to another (due to a hdd failure) When the some of the distribution lists have been created, some how they have the name of the old server. You try and send mail to them from the web client and get a error. I cant see where that stored anywhere. When I create a new one it asks me witch server looks after it. zmprov gdl will not return this data either. I was wondering if there is any way to edit this or will I have to delete the lists and add them again. Deleting and re-adding does work, there is quite a few to do and wondered if it could be done command line.
Any suggestions would be fantastic. -)

San Antonio, TX -- Tim Duncan registered 30 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks as the San Antonio Spurs held off a feisty Cleveland Cavaliers squad, 119-113, on Saturday at AT&T Center.
Kawhi Leonard and Manu Ginobili each added double-doubles as well, with Leonard posting 24 points and 13 rebounds and Ginobili tallying 14 points with 10 assists for the Spurs, who improved to 2-0 on their four-game homestand.
Despite missing their top scorer, Kyrie Irving, the Cavs went toe-to-toe with the Western Conference's top squad for four quarters, but wilted in the final minutes.
Wayne Ellington scored a team-leading 21 points and Marreese Speights added 19 and seven rebounds, but Cleveland lost its seventh in a row to San Antonio. Alonzo Gee and Dion Waiters each scored 15 in the setback.

FAYETTEVILLE � Police in Fayetteville have apprehended two men wanted in the shooting death of a Fort Bragg soldier.
The Fayetteville Observer reports 24-year-olds Darrick Lynn Grissom and Antonio Terrell Johnson are the last of four people charged in the robbery and shooting death of 29-year-old Spc. Danny Ray McFadden.
Fayetteville police spokesman Lt. Todd Joyce said officers acted on a tip, went to a house and executed a search warrant late Thursday night. Joyce says Grissom and Johnson were found hiding in a closet and were taken into custody without incident.
Both men are charged with first-degree murder and are being held without bail in the Cumberland County Detention Center. It's not known if either man has an attorney.
The other two men were arrested in April.

Gov. Jennifer Granholm reminded school principals from around the state on Friday that they are critical links in helping their schools achieve higher standards.
Most of the 216 principals from failing schools throughout the state met in Brighton on Friday.
It was part of the Principals' Academy designed to give intensive guidance for turning around their schools. Granholm says they are not alone is this fight.
The Governor says struggling schools usually have struggling communities. She is calling on businesses and faith-based organizations to help out.

FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) -- Matt Pierce returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown and freshman Cedric O'Neal and for 140 yards and a score to lead Valdosta State to a 35-7 victory over Winston-Salem State on Saturday in the Division II championship game.
The Blazers (12-2) took a 21-0 halftime lead en route to their 10th straight win and first national title since 2007, coach David Dean's debut season. The Rams (14-1) were trying to become the first historically black school to win the Division II title after losing in the semifinals last season. But they couldn't overcome six turnovers, including several that hurt promising drives.
The Blazers needed 12 seconds to score and five minutes to build a 14-0 lead against a team that hadn't trailed by more than a touchdown all season.
Cayden Cochran was 18-of-26 passing while throwing for a touchdown and running for a pair. O'Neal carried 24 times.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Sedan drivers claiming to represent Uber are caught on camera in a WUSA9 investigation airing Monday, Feb. 18 at 11:00 p.m. passing black passengers but stopping to offer transport to a white passenger or offering street-side service in violation of taxi laws.
Update: See complete story here: http://www.wusa9.com/news/article/244109/158/DC-Taxi-System-Out-OF-Control--From-Destination-Discrimination-To-Illegal-Cabs---Including-Uber---Caught-On-Camera
For the latest on our taxi investigations, follow @russptacek on Twitter or Facebook.
Prior to the airing of tonight's investigation, Uber said it had dismissed two of the four drivers who claimed Uber affiliation and city officials assigned undercover inspectors to follow our crews.
Click here to see our earlier investigation showing black passengers being stranded by DC taxis in favor of whites: http://www.wusa9.com/dontmiss/241642/379/Undercover-Taxi-Probe-Finds-25-Of-Blacks-Left-Stranded
Tonight's story shows a DC taxi system out of control with unlicensed vehicles acting as taxis and whites and blacks being refused travel in the District and Virginia.
Uber dispatches drivers via an iPhone app and is not allowed to pick up passengers without the prearranged dispatch.
This issue creates double-trouble because city regulations not only prohibit discrimination, but also forbid sedans from picking up street-side passengers unless they've been previously hired (by phone, e-mail, Uber app).
Sedans that pick up passengers without prior arrangments could face up to a $1,000 fine and impounding of the sedan.
"We have identified two of the drivers from your video, and permanently deactivated their accounts with Uber," Holt said.

Trey Hillman Media Session: Zack Greinke, John Bale
Nice to meet you Mr. Greinke
The Minnesota Twins, it would seem, have hit the schedule lottery by not facing Royals ace Zack Greinke in 14 games so far this season. That all comes to an end tomorrow when Greinke will face Francisco Liriano and the Minnesota Twins at 1:10. Remember the game is not on TV, so you're only chance to catch it is at Kauffman Stadium on person. Manager Trey Hillman was asked who has the advantage when a team has not faced a pitcher before, the opposing team or the pitcher in question. "I think clearly the pitcher has the distinct advantage in this case, you can watch all the video you want on someone and do your homework on them, but it's not the same as facing them live. When a pitcher has not been seen by the opposing team, it takes a while for the batters to get their timing down and get comfortable in the box. It can take some guys an at-bat and others will never figure it out, plus we are talking about Zack, he is not the easiest pitcher to hit against."
John Bale
Royals pitcher John Bale has been progressing nicely from his sore right hamstring that has kept him out of the line-up for a couple of weeks now. So much so, that his earlier prognosis of possibly shutting it down for the rest of the season has been upgraded to probable beginning with Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. He will be evaluated this afternoon and if everything goes well, he will be traveling with the team on Sunday night to New York. "We are going to be very cautious with John, we just hope he doesn't have to end the season on the DL," said Hillman.

Incumbent Chris Dew won the runoff for Quitman School Board Place 2.
The Clarke County Circuit Clerk's Office says Dew received 216 votes to 90 for his opponent, Beverly Brown.
It was the only runoff on the Clarke County ballot.
In Jasper County, Chris Sargent defeated James Stone in a runoff in a special election for sheriff. Sargent was sworn in Wednesday morning.
In other Mississippi election news, interim Attala County sheriff, Tim Nail, won a special election runoff for sheriff.
Complete but unofficial returns from Tuesday's election show Nail defeated Martin Roby.
The special election was to fill the unexpired term of William Lee, who died in May. Lee had been sheriff since 2002.
Nail has served as interim sheriff since Lee's death on May 7.

Goebel, Macias Lead Cross Country At Sean Earl Lakefront Invitational
Oct. 4, 2003
Chicago, Ill.- The UIC men's and women's cross country teams joined thousands of runners from across North America for the 31st Annual Sean Earl Lakefront Invitational on Saturday, holding their own in a crowded field of distance competitors.
The UIC women finished 9th overall out of 17 squads in the Division 1 team standings, while the men ranked 12th in their 18-team field.
Jenni Goebel capped off a terrific week with another Top 25 performance on Saturday. Goebel paced the women by finishing the 5K event in 18:27, good for 25th place. The superb performance follows a fifth-place finish at the Central Collegiate Invitational on September 26th, which earned Goebel Horizon League accolades as the Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week this past Tuesday.
Goebel has finished in the Top 25 in every race she has competed in this season while leading the Flames as their top finisher in three of four meets.
Following Goebel in the first wave of 100 competitors were Flames standouts Lizet Diaz (19:01/71st), Susie Martinez (19:16/91st), and Andrea Dennison (19:19/97th). Rounding out the UIC effort in the 560-person event were Rachel Covert (19:32/119th), Lisa Petty (20:00/161st), and Sara Jeffers (20:37/228th).
On the men's side, Jose Macias led the Flames by finishing 68th out of 514 runners with a time of 26:02 in the 8K course. Junior Brian Roth (26:50/149th), freshman Jim Sulzberger (27:02/168th), and sophomore Billy Poole-Harris (27:17/201st) followed soon after, while Tristan Roche (27:37/237th), Steve Jeske (27:59/279th), and Graham Waller (28:23/314th) closed out the event for UIC.
Edinboro University's Aaron Rowe won the men's 8K with a time of 24:07. University of Wisconsin senior Hilary Edmondson finished the women's 5k event first with a time of 17:18.
The women's team title went to the University of Wisconsin, while host Loyola finished with the men's title.
The Flames return to competition on Saturday, October 18th at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Invitational in Kenosha, Wis., at 1 p.m.

by Cecile Oreste, Media Relations Specialist, Business Wire/DC
Business Wire's Features National circuit and Feature Topic Series can help distribute your press releases, but how do you create an effective story that will appeal to a features editor? I reached out to Katie Aberbach of the Washington Post Express and Katy De Luca of the Washington Examiner to find out the dos and don'ts of pitching a feature editor.
Katie Aberbach is a feature editor for the Washington Post Express' Lookout, Weekend Pass and Digs sections. According to Aberbach, a good feature is "a human interest story, something the average reader can relate to." The best feature stories are when you become invested in what you're reading or when you can tell that the reporter truly enjoys what he or she is writing about. When it comes to getting ideas for feature stories, "press releases do help out a lot because there is no way you can know everything new that's coming out," she said. "Tell me about your new product, television show and book and offer a source to comment on it."
When it comes to writing your press release, she suggests the following:
- Do break up the story and summarize key information into bullet points.
- Do include links to other trend stories and think of what visuals would work for your story.
- Don't forget the hook. Even though you're pitching a feature story, a hard news hook is still valuable. Say why I should care right away. Naming the names is really important.
Katy De Luca is the features editor of the Washington Examiner. For De Luca, the best feature stories are ones that appeal to the Examiner audience. "I look at all pitches and think about what will be most interesting to our readers. I think about what they would want to read and what is the best way to get the information to them," she said. Most of the story ideas come from the writers De Luca works with. She also reads a variety of media and if a topic grabs her attention, she'll forward the lead to one of her freelancers.
When pitching a feature reporter or editor, De Luca recommends these points:
- Do include as much information as possible in the subject line and personalize your pitch. Provide all basic details. Simple is better.
- Do periodically ask the person you are pitching to what sort of things they are looking for. Communication is a key part of the process.
- Don't send long-winded e-mails with attachments.
For more suggestions on how to help get your feature news noticed by the media, check out these Features News Tips. You can also contact our features department at email@example.com for additional writing tips and story suggestions.

(WUSA) -- Occoquan Elementary School were evacuated after the report of a roof fire on Wednesday afternoon. Students were safely moved to trailers.
School officials later determined that a construction crew was working on flashing the roof, which caused smoke to enter the building. It set off an alarm and prompted officials to evacuate the school.
Officials now say there was no fire.
Students and staff have safely returned to the school.

Yost discusses Broxton trade
Ned Yost met with the media before tonight's game again the Cleveland Indians. Today right-handed reliever Jonathan Broxton was traded for Cincinnati Reds' minor league left-hander Donnie Joseph and right-hander J.C. Sulbaran.
"He (Broxton) came in here with the focus of getting his career back on track and I think he did a great job of doing that. I think he will do fine. He is going to a team that is three games up in their division and the chance to go to the playoffs and I am excited about that for him," said Yost. About the new pitchers, Yost said, "They are two nice young prospects. Our scouts like them a lot and I have heard a lot of good things about them." Greg Holland will now be taking Broxton's place in closing games. Yost said, "He's been very solid down there and we will give him the opportunity to close games out. We feel that his stuff is all the way back to where it was last year when he was really successful." Broxton was a leader on the field and he will be leaving a legacy on this team. "I think his ability to stay calm and cool in every situation; it didn't matter how rough it got out of there, he maintained his composure and I think that's a great example to all the young guys out there," said Yost.
Mike Moustakas is back in the lineup after his right knee sprain during Saturday night's game against the Mariners. "I was pretty optimistic he would be back Tuesday (tonight) because he is such a tough kid. I was really nervous when he did it. I thought it could be some tearing of his meniscus and that made me nervous. When we found out that wasn't the case, our training staff worked on him yesterday, the day before all day and into the night that he did it. I figured the chances of him being back on Tuesday, today would be very very good."
Jeff Francoeur is not in the Royals' lineup in tonight's game. Yost says, "His production has fallen off and was really struggling at the plate. We need to get him back. We need to get him back productive. The reason we are where we are is because we are not getting production out of Jeff and Hos (Eric Hosmer) has been struggling. Alex (Gordon) has done a great job average wise and hitting doubles, but we don't have power production in our lineup outside of Moose (Mike Moustakas) and Billy (Butler) and that's production we counted on going into the season. We need to find ways to get more of that back."

It is July and and here in Eastern Carolina we're pretty fortunate to be surrounded by so much water. So it's obvious that people are going to be out in the elements around this time of year. Many of you probably grab the sunscreen before heading out and although you may not know it now that sunscreen could save your skin and your life.
Teresa Smith was just 21 years old when she was diagnosed with her first skin cancer.
Smith said, "My first one was a fever blister that came up on my lip and it kept growing and after about a week my lip went numb."
Growing up on Topsail Beach, she says she didn't use sunscreen.
Smith said, "We had baby oil. Just cake on the baby oil and I tanned. I always had a good tan."
Today, Smith says she still suffers from her sun exposure. She's had 24 malignant melanomas, 2 squamous cells, 5 skin grafts and numerous basal cell carcinomas.
Smith now works with Dr. Eric Howell, a Dermatologist at Eastern Dermatology and Pathology in Greenville. He makes a living helping those who've damaged their skin in the sun. A tan according to Dr. Howell is nothing more than showing you've damaged your skin. But he says certain people are more pre-disposed to skin cancer. Those include people who burn easily and people who have a difficult time getting a tan.
He says using sunscreen is key to not only prevent sunburn, but skin cancer as well. But Dr. Howell says people need to be aware of certain things when buying the right sunscreen.
Sunscreen Tips
- Apply "Broad Spectrum" UVA/UVB
- Apply 20 min before going outside
- Re-apply every 1 to 2 hours
- Use Titanium Dioxide/ Zinc Oxide on sensitive skin
- Avoid Sun from Noon to 4 PM
Dr. Howell says keep an eye on rough patches on your skin as well as moles that change shape or are bigger than a pencil eraser.
Dr. Howell says you should visit the dermatologist in your mid to late 20's if you've had a lot of bad burns. If not, he says most people can hold off on making an appointment until their 30's.
Most melanoma cancers develop in a person's 40's, 50's and above, while non-melanoma skin cancers develop in people ages 50 and above.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - New York Rangers center Brad Richards will be
a healthy scratch for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against
The Rangers face elimination on Thursday after dropping the first three games
of the best-of-seven series.
Rangers coach John Tortorella informed the former Conn Smythe winner of the
decision on Thursday morning.
Richards has just one goal -- which he scored in Game 4 of the first-round
series against Washington with the goaltender well out of the crease after a
misplay -- and a minus-3 rating in 10 games this postseason. He had been
centering the Rangers' fourth line and played just over eight minutes in Game
3 on Tuesday.
The 33-year-old veteran had 11 goals and 23 assists for 34 points in 46 games
during the regular season, his second with the Rangers. He signed a nine-year
contract, reportedly worth $58 million, as a free agent in July 2011.
Richards was the Smythe winner as playoff MVP during Tampa Bay's 2004 Stanley
Cup championship when he notched 12 goals and 14 assists for 26 points in 23

Florida : Michelin's recommendations
Florida, located 1,600 kilometres south of New York, is perceived as a world apart, symbolised by its sunshine, 4,500 islands and vast sandy beaches lined with coconut trees. Florida is famous for its stars, millionaires, athletes, Disney World, Universal Studios, and crowning it all, Miami, a spectacular city with hundreds of magnificent hotels where everything is designed for your enjoyment. A tropical town, Miami is sensual, languorous and multicultural, a synthesis of North America and Latin America where English and Spanish are spoken indiscriminately – against a backdrop of Cuban music. Other highlights include the 1930's atmosphere in the artsy neighbourhood of South Beach. But the U.S. is also a land of extreme wealth and poverty, where shantytowns rub shoulders with luxury hotels.
Florida was discovered in the 16C by French and Spanish explorers and was once covered with swamps and infested with alligators and mosquitoes. Although still graced with luxuriant natural beauty, Florida has many endangered species, including the American crocodile and the green turtle, and is threatened by climate change, hurricanes and coastal erosion (along the longest coastline in the United States).

text: Home Blogs The Grapevine Twitter Explains Why White People Riot With the George Zimmerman case winding down, another funny hashtag addresses the widespread fear of blacks rioting. By: Tracy Clayton Posted: July 12 2013 6:30 PM 0 Generic image (Thinkstock) (The Root) -- There's lots of buzz and fear out there about black people rioting in the streets if a verdict other than "guilty" is handed down in the George Zimmerman case. As the trial winds down, there's no shortage of fearmongering in the media, from radio and TV to print and online. But black folks aren't the only ones with the capacity to channel hot emotions through destructive means. No one seems to remember the Red Summer race riots of 1919, an entire season of deadly riots mostly sparked and led by whites. Everyone also forgets how soccer and hockey fans like to burn things up and tear things down when their favorite teams win or lose. But the question posited is always whether or not black people will riot in cases like this. If George Zimmerman is acquitted, will black people be angry enough to resort to violence? Why aren't we worried about other folks rioting if Zimmerman is found guilty? Surely it couldn't be that, collectively, blacks are still seen as savage creatures who can't help resorting to primitive means of emotional dealing, right? Nah, couldn't be that. So today Twitter asked: What makes white people riot? The responses, tagged with #WhyWhitePeopleRiot, ranged from silly and fun to soberingly insightful. Take a look at some of the best below.

|Holly Daze marks '50'
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Touted as an unusual program in 1963, Holly Daze in Holyoke continues to draw a crowd from a four-state area 50 years later.
Eighty vendors from Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas and Wyoming filled 111 spaces in the HHS commons area, old gym, JH commons and hallways Saturday, Oct. 26.
Coordinator Marianne Sullivan said vendors reported a great day at the holiday art and craft fair.
Sullivan, with Jolly Dozen Club, has been the Holly Daze coordinator since 1980. Her daughter, Kim Kramer, has a diagram and makes maps for the ease of setup.
When Kramer got sick this year, her daughter, Josi Wambach, stepped in to help out her grandma.

Full Disclosure: My wifes an elementary educator who currently works in a state thats free of teachers unions. But over the course of her career, she has worked for -- and belonged to such organizations. She appreciated the fact that they instituted tenures, protected wage rates, fought for certain employment rights and generally served the best interests of each individual educator. But she also witnessed unions protecting veteran teachers who no longer had any business being in the classroom, and she understood the frustrations of parents who choked on union-distributed red tape as they sought the best schooling for their children. In short, my wifes the choir to which Wont Back Down preaches.
Full Disclosure, Part Two: Im a film critic saddled with a coal-black, cynical heart thats two sizes too small. I possess a lower-than-average tolerance for agenda-driven tearjerkers that clumsily push an audiences buttons with contrived scenarios, tin-ear dialogue, and manipulative swells of an overbearing film score. When movies like that begin to preach to their choirs, I plug my thumbs in my ears and pray for the end credits.
Wont Back Down easily could have been that type of movie, and likely would have descended to such troubling levels of pap if not for a handful of powerful performances and the unbridled enthusiasm of director Daniel Barnz. During a recent interview, Barnz rattled off for me the various members of his immediate family who make a living in school systems around the country. His passion for, and experience with, Americas public system infuses Wont Back Down with a can-do attitude thats matched in tone by his feisty lead actors, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis.
The former plays Jamie Fitzpatrick, a single mother from a broken-down, blue-collar neighborhood outside of Pittsburgh who barely holds down multiple menial jobs, cant afford to send her daughter to a decent school, yet is flabbergasted by the lack of actual teaching going on in the overcrowded classroom. Things arent much better across the hallway, where veteran instructor Nona Alberts (Davis) passion for teaching has been extinguished by the strict regulations suffocating classroom teachers. At home, her estranged husband (Lance Reddick) also refuses to help raise their special-needs child alone. Both women hope enrollment in an exclusive, student-first private school is the light at the end of the tunnel theyve been seeking for their children.
In many ways, Wont Back Down is the fictional interpretation of Davis Guggenheims Waiting for Superman, meant for audiences who have no interest in fact-driven documentaries. A lottery-drawing scene signaling admission into the good school, for example, is pulled straight out of Guggenheims doc. And Down trots out many of the hard truths and depressing stats Superman peddled, but puts prettier faces on the education-system quandaries addressed in both films.
Its the cast, though, that rescues Wont Back Down from TV-movie-of-the-week-dom. Gyllenhaals never been scrappier, and theres a maternal warmth to Jamie that likely stems the actresss own experience of motherhood. This materials now in Gyllenhaals wheelhouse, and she understands how to play parental concern in ways she might not have been able to five years ago. Davis, always a pro, also infuses her orthodox character with enough hope to penetrate through the world-weariness of the situations facing these women fighting against the oppressive unions for the right to form their own charter school.
Barnz actually weighs the arguments for and against union influence, and lends his leads enough support on both sides of the fight to keep Down on its feet. Oscar Isaac charms Davis teachers lounge as the energetic new instructor able to connect with the kids in his class. Holly Hunter brings an unexpected humanity to the role of a union executive caught up in Jamie and Nonas fight. Rosie Perez and Ving Rhames shine in small supporting roles, elevating the material. And the ending, while telegraphed and wholly predictable, tugged at the right heartstrings.
Grading on a curve, Wont Back Down brings home a C+ a passing mark, sure, but not exactly one youre eager to hang up on the refrigerator.

Re: The Garden is a Bloom'in
For the Callas, I was wondering if it would be an idea to bury a large bucket in the ground and put the corms in it to grow. Thinking that it would make it easier to have a more moist environment using less water.
I'm not sure how that would work, but worth a try.

Manning Beats Brady to March Denver into Super Bowl XLVIII
Peyton Manning threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Denver Broncos past the New England Patriots for a 26-16 victory in the AFC Championship on Jan. 19 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colo.
With the win, the Broncos (15-3) advanced to the Super Bowl.
Manning's performance silenced critics who claimed he couldn't beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in a head-to-head big game. Manning had lost 10 of 14 matchups against Brady and New England throughout his career.
But Manning was perfect in the AFC title game Jan. 19, completing 32-of-43 pass attempts for 400 yards and two touchdowns.
Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas caught one of Manning's touchdown passes in the third quarter, which gave Denver a 20-3 lead. Thomas finished with seven catches for 134 yards and tight end Julius Thomas had eight catches for 85 yards.
Unlike Manning, Brady struggled early in the game, leading the Patriots to just three first-half points. The Patriots had opportunities to make some big plays on offense, but Brady misses of deep downfield receivers on two different occasions darkened New England's chances of keeping up with Manning in the race for points. Brady completed 24 of 38 pass attempts for 277 yards and a touchdown.
Brady and the Patriots have now lost their last two trips to the AFC Championship, having been defeated by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2012-13 season conference title game.
Manning will play in his third Super Bowl, having won the 2006-07 season Super Bowl and lost the 2009-10 Super Bowl.

If I had one take away from Pulse, it would be that the community is the key to IBM's success in all of our endeavors.
Our customers (you: the community) are the ones who help us with ensuring that we're giving you the tools to do your jobs and make it home in time to watch Justified (or whatever it is you do when you get home).
Events like Pulse illustrate that one of the ways a community is at its finest is when the members are interacting with each other and helping one another.
Reading, writing and sharing content is one of the ways that communities create ties and these ties tend to be strongest in the technical community.
Today, we're announcing Service Management Connect.
Service Management Connect will provide a direct path to IBM service management experts and promote fast effective two-way communications between customers and IBM on a variety of service management topics.
The first sub-community to go live will be Business Service Management and these sub-communities will compliment the Tivoli User Groups and ISM Library.
Start by going to the site today and taking a look. We will be talking about it more in the weeks to come as well as be adding new categories soon.

BRADLEY BROOKS, Associated Press
BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — The cost of building the soccer stadium in Brazil's capital for next month's World Cup has nearly tripled to $900 million in public funds, and government auditors allege that's largely due to fraudulent billing.
It's now the world's second-most expensive soccer arena, and Brasilia doesn't even have a major professional team. Critics call it the poster child for out-of-control spending and mismanagement, or worse.
An Associated Press analysis of data from Brazil's top electoral court shows skyrocketing campaign contributions by companies involved in the most World Cup projects — findings that will add to deep suspicions among Brazilians that preparations for soccer's premier event have been tainted by corruption.
Anger over perceived corruption already helped fuel huge protests last year, and there are fears more unrest could mar the Cup.
