House Call
First of all, the Royals would like to thank everyone for the great feedback on the upcoming stadium renovations. Be assured we are taking your ideas into consideration. We also wanted to pass along a great story on another appearance by the Royals in the community. Our players are really doing a nice job to reach out to some special individuals in the Kansas City area.
Wednesday morning David DeJesus joined Sluggerrr and Kim Burgess, from the Royals Blue Crew kids show, on a house call. The trio paid a special visit to Caymus, a special Royals fan in Kansas City, after The Dream Factory told the Royals about Caymus and his wish to meet DeJesus.
DeJesus presented Caymus with a miniature Royals DeJesus jersey and an autographed bat. In addition, the outfielder gave Caymus several items including bobbleheads, a Sluggerrr doll and baseball cards. Caymus was especially excited about the baseball cards and wanted to review the cards with DeJesus. The two were able to spend some time reviewing the cards, discussing the different Major League Baseball players.
Kim and the Royals Blue Crew kids TV show was on hand as part of Sluggerrr's prize patrol. The visit to Caymus will be featured on the next addition of the Royals Blue Crew, debuting on Saturday, Aug. 5. Check your local TV listing to catch the program or catch an archive of the show later on rstn.tv.
Check out these pictures of DeJesus's visit to Caymus!

That was a really nice thing for him to do. It shows he cares.
Nice Going David! Just goes to show you that the Royals players do care about their fans and the community. That was very sweet David!
Hey KC-
Nooooo! Why did you take Shealy from the Rockies? I'm a Rockies fan and I was looking forward to watching him take over for Todd Helton!
You guys got a great pick up there. I hope it works out for you and I think Royals fans will enjoy watching Shealy hit the long ball. He's a great young hitter, and I'm sad that we lost him!

Things to see and do - Porto Rotondo
Leaving for Italy
Where to sleep?
Porto Rotondo Travel guide
Porto Rotondo : Michelin's recommendations
Centred on its round (rotondo) port, this little town created in 1962 is a smart seaside resort much loved by the jet set. The resort's quota of yachts, Ferraris, boutiques and luxury restaurants lends it a certain artificial elegance, albeit one that has decidedly little to do with Sardinia. Take a look at the contemporary San Lorenzo church and the granite Teatro all'aperto. At the end of August Porto Rotondo holds the "Big Game", one of the biggest open-sea fishing outings in the Mediterranean.

Hello Everybody!
Last week I made a neat multi-server install of Zimbra on Debian. Everything was running extra smootchie, untill a power-outage over the weekend made the three machines reboot.
Nothing is coming back up Zimbra-wise. If I #netstat -at none of the expected servers is showing. This is what my investigation brought me so far:
/etc/rc*.d/ scripts are pointing at an inexistent /etc/init.d/zimbra
If I try the Zimbra-CLI, this is what I get:

The family that 'plays' together …
(Page 3 of 4)
Max said that acting together "helps us forget about all the hard stuff — and it makes me smile." Jared added that he loves acting and it gives him a way to "blow off steam." Lexie is a quick learner, Beck said, and helps her with the dance steps. "It definitely brings us closer … it's our happy outlet." Gerry O'Brien, 50, and his son, Billy, 14, of Valley Stream, appeared together for their first time on stage in "Oliver," with Billy playing his father's long-lost grandson. "Smokey Joe's Café" is their fourth show with IPTG.
"We rehearse together all the time," Billy said. "Whether it's at home, in the car, the supermarket, just about anywhere. I love working with my Dad, and together we share a special bond with everyone in the cast — we have our own little theater family."
Another father-son duo is Island Park's Andrew Upbin 47, and his son, Benjamin, 9. Andrew is a 20-year veteran of the stage, having appeared in, among other shows, "Godspell," "Hair," "Mame" and "Pippin," This the second show he is doing with Ben. In the first, "A Christmas Carol," they played Scrooge and Tiny Tim. Andrew also directed Ben in "Willy Wonka" and "Seussical."
"We sing the songs all the time in the car, and do the dance moves in the house," said Andrew. "Anytime I work with my children on a show — my daughter, Sydney, also has done shows with me — it always brings us closer. It's fantastic when you can share something that you love to do with your children — it just makes it that more enjoyable."
This is the fourth year on the stage for Long Beach resident Eileen Goggin and her daughter, Natalie, 11. In 2008, they performed in "Oliver" with the IPTG, and then again in "On Broadway." (Natalie appeared in "Mame" last year without her mother). In both shows they had the chance to play mother and daughter.

Elastoplastic Low-Cycle Fatigue Analysis of Cylinder with a Hole
Application ID: 2200
A load carrying component of a structure is subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading during which localized yielding of the material occurs. In this model you perform a low cycle fatigue analysis of the part based on the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model.
Due to localized yielding, you can use two methods to obtain the stress and strain distributions for the fatigue evaluation. The first method is a full elastoplastic analysis with kinematic hardening, while the second is a linear elastic analysis with Neuber correction for plasticity. This example explores the first method. In the model "Notch Approximation to Low-Cycle Fatigue Analysis of Cylinder with a Hole", the same problem is solved using the elastic approach.

Yes I did have a home birth. In fact it was my third home birth. I have had all three of my children at home with the same midwife. They were the most empowering and wonderful experiences in my life.
This is little slideshow of the birth with my little boy born in Jan.
Cannot wait to hear of some happy news from you!
I am very sorry for your loss.
I had 2 early miscarriages where I just bleed it all out.
However, if you are 10 weeks, I think it would be good to be checked by a doctor because you are a bit farther along, and I heard it can be dangerous for the woman if she continues to bleed for a long period of time.
Hi Cheryl,
Yes. I am actually 7 weeks pregnant right now. Hopefully this pregnancy will be the one that bring us the baby we have been hoping and praying for.
yes, when i found at 11wks that i lost my baby around 8wks i opted to m/c naturally. they will monitor your HCG levels which indicates that everything passes. If the levels stay high, it hasn't and if it stays that way for so long you'll have a D&C. for me it went way down after i passed most of the mass about a week after finding out and starting to spot. but my levels were still a little elevated, a few days later i passed a few more clots and then the levels were all low and back to non-pregnancy levels.
I started bleeding about 3 days after finding out about the baby's loss and bled for 28days total from that day on. started off spotting, then a week later passed most of the mass, then more bleeding for 2 weeks that slowly dwindled to spotting and finally stopped.
I have had 3 miscarriages that were all natural and ranged in weeks from 4-8 weeks. Everything went fine and all washed out as it was supposed to. I have not been able to maintain a pregnancy, which might be more of my body's issues than anything else b/c many women I have talked to have had natural miscarriages (sometimes multiple) and went on to carry multiple healthy babies to term! My hormone levels returned to normal on all three and periods came as usual the following months.
My husband and I went in for our first ultrasound at 9 weeks and they didn't find a heartbeat. It "says" the baby stopped growing around 8 weeks. I was sent for a second ultrasound that day. (my Dr. is an advocate of natural birth) I am now waiting to miscarry. The wait is awful. I have yet to spot and I still feel pregnant. Does anyone know how long I can wait for natural miscarriage? I am 36 and overwhelmed. Does anyone have any advice getting thru this waiting time. Could the ultrasound be wrong? I don't want to get my hopes up.
Cheryl, did you receive healthy post-care and preparation for another conception?
My best,
Did any of you experience labor pains/contractions with your miscarriage? I started bleeding at 11 weeks. In addition to the bleeding, throughout the next week I had three different periods of pretty intense labor - 5 hours one day, 5 hours the next, then a few days break before I had about 3 hours more labor and passed the baby at 12 weeks. I've had two natural births, and I would say that I experienced about 80% of the pain of giving birth naturally to a full term baby.
I think our bodies were designed to give birth, and to also know what to do with a miscarriage. We choose to miscarry naturally at home, but we did go into my doctor afterwards for a consultation. It was the most difficult thing I've ever had to get through. We just waited for one period after the miscarriage, before 'letting it happen if it happened'. I got pregnant again 3 months after our miscarriage. Today I am 6 months along! :)
Cheryl, I am so sorry for your loss. Are you pregnant again, or are you just starting to try?
Hi Rebecca,
I found out at 9 weeks there was no hearbeat. At ten and a 1/2, I passed the baby.
I chose to naturally miscarry too. The ten days from the ultrasound to the actual beginning of "labor" was very difficult. I don't have children, this was my first pregnancy, but I did not feel that I experiened a "bad" period. Those must have been closer to contractions (but I don't have a frame of reference). I too felt my body would know how to handle the miscarriage. If I believe in natural birth and was in no danger of infection, I also believe natural miscarriage was the best decision for me. I am glad I took this route.
I began spotting Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon my water broke. I began to get lower back tension- I don't like the word pain- pain is different than muscles contracting causing discomfort. Within two hours I passed the baby, a small sac one side being the placenta. I could see the baby whole in the middle. The face was about the size of my pinky nail.
I thought-"That was it?"- aside from the emotion of seeing the baby, I expected something more physically exhausting- it was not "it" - for the next 5 hours I began to pass very large clots and bleed heavily with the worst tension- okay this was pain- but it was a contraction, not a cramp! I could feel one begin, I would push, my hubby would rub my back in a downward motion and out would come a clot. The last thing I passed in it's entirety was the uterine lining. In order to get it to pass- I could tell something big was coming and was having a hard time passing, I began to rub my fundus, the top of my uterus. Once I began that, it passed quickly. It was pretty big and kind of looked like chicken skin. The minute that passed the contractions stopped and my bleeding immediately receded to a light spotting. The spotting lasted for a couple of days. (PS- having pedialyte on hand was great, helped to keep me hydrated!)
When I visited my OBGYN a few days later- she said I looked great. Was surprised at how little I was swollen. No one prepared me for how sore I was for the next few days. Going to the restroom was hard.
I am now waiting for my cycles to resume. It has been almost a week since I miscarried. Looking forward to trying again and hoping that all is well the next time around.
I am so sorry for everyone's loss. This has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to face. Much love to you all.

- Detail Images
Take along not one but two backcountry buddies with the accommodating Kelty Gunnison 3.2 Tent. A smart and simple design lets you quickly set up this three-person, three-season freestanding home with just two poles and provides lightweight, ample sleeping room―no more squeezing into a two-person tent to save weight. The weather-resistant floor and fly and well-ventilated body keep your trio comfy and rested on the trail, and two doors and vestibules give you plenty of personal space. From warm summer nights in the desert to brisk fall backpacking trips to wet treks in the cloud forest, take along the third wheel, because the more is always merrier.

- ArcEdge floor means the floor material extends a few inches up the tent walls to reduce seam-to-ground contact
- DAC Featherlite NSL poles keep weight to a minimum without sacrificing strength or durability
- Jake's Foot fly attachment utilizes a ball and socket design to keep the pole end in place during setup and easily pops out for take-down
- Dual doors make entry-exit hassle- and traffic-free

- Internal storage pockets keep your flashlight, maps, and trail wares accessible
- Welded fly windows lets you check the weather from your sleeping bag
- Gear-loft loops enable you to hang your headlamp when it gets dark
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Such a great tent, held up very well under 20-30 mph winds. Super roomy as well, comfortably slept 3 plus a dog (we're all about 5'6-5'9) Good investment and seems built to last.
Great tent for price!!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I stayed in a Kelty 2 and it was much smaller than this one. It wasn't the gunnison line. This tent is perfect for 2-3 people if you have gear you want to shelter as well. It is a bit heavier than a 2 or 1 person, but is expected with a 3 person tent. Will be getting a smaller one person tent for adventures without the kids. The tent seems to be great quality, the poles are super lite, and the material seems durable and not easily punctured. I use the footprint underneath it and seems to work well. I have used this car camping and backpacking. It is hard to beat the price on this tent compared to other alternatives.
What footprint works for this tent? It recommends the tn2, yet the sizes do not seem to line up.
I have a Kelty gunnison 3.2. What size...
I have a Kelty gunnison 3.2. What size compression sack is recommended ?thank you
Joe, I wouldn't use a compression sack as it could over compress your rain fly. It could cause permanent creases in it that will shorten its life. I have learned this through experience. I put my tent in my sleeping bag compartment and put my compressed bag in my main compartment. Need to set the tent before you get out your bag anyway. I have the Kaitum 3GT and also a gunnison 4. Love them both. I hope this helps, Ken

Binding up the wounds of war
Targeted Christians and other religious minorities find shelter-for now-in Iraq's northern provinces
SULAYMANIYAH, Iraq- When Yousif Almashmos was born in March 2003, coalition bombs were falling outside. His family's Baghdad apartment swayed as his mother made her way to the hospital. Akram and Sarab Almashmos lived near headquarters for Saddam Hussein's security services, a prominent target for U.S. forces. Worse, Saddam had positioned rocket launchers between houses in the area, making them a target for U.S. heat-seekers.
Some neighbors died in those early days of the U.S. invasion, and when her baby was born, Sarab asked God, "Why are you protecting me? What is our purpose?" Holding her infant in her arms eight months later, she told WORLD she read her Bible that night and decided to name her fourth child Yousif, after the ancient patriarch Joseph, "because he is not here by accident. God has something for us."
Now Yousif is a rambunctious boy of four with a dark brown cowlick. He likes to drink other people's soda when his is gone and he hops around the room eating off the plates of his older sisters or brother. He cries when his father refuses to take him on errands. This month he starts school, having never known a day in his life without war.
Four years ago his parents made friends with U.S. soldiers patrolling their district, and Sarab said then that she believed they "are coming to make the area safer, not to fight." But safer was not to be. Militants repeatedly threatened her husband's cosmetics business, and they began to feel that the family was targeted because they are Chaldean Catholics. Early last year a car bomb exploded on the street near his business. Then came Aug. 31, 2006.
That day at least three car bombs exploded almost simultaneously in the district. Within 30 minutes, 64 Iraqis were dead and nearly 300 wounded. The force of the explosions rocketed Almashmos' shop assistant 40 feet into the air and completely leveled the store. The assistant survived but lost one leg.
Two weeks later on Sept. 15, 2006, Akram and Sarab packed their four children and some clothes into their car and left Baghdad. On Sept. 4, 2007, WORLD caught up with them 200 miles away in Sulaymaniyah, once an ancient Kurdish capital in northern Iraq, now bulging at an estimated 1 million residents or more, thanks to the dangers wrought by Shiite and Sunni militias and terrorists in cities to the south. Across the region cities and villages are filling with families like the Almoshmoses-families who are traumatized, dislocated, and working to reconstruct their lives against an uncertain future.
This month's report to Congress by the U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, along with a Sept. 13 speech by President Bush, spelled a shift in strategy-a once open-ended commitment to war in Iraq now has fixed parameters and a calendar pegging limited troop withdrawals to measurable success. But for Iraqis the debate is less political than visceral-less about long-range timetables and overall strategy and more about daily survival-how to eat, to work, and to protect one's family. Approaching the war's five-year mark, how does a prostrate nation bind up the wounds of war?
For Iraq's religious minorities the question is particularly vital, as those groups have been targeted by terrorists and have the most to fear from an Iraq hijacked by Islamic militants. The annual growth rate among Christians in Iraq has dropped from approximately 3 percent in 1950 to -1 percent today.
For Akram and Sarab, answering that question meant coming north, even if it meant leaving everything behind, including Sarab's ailing mother. Sulaymaniyah in the last 18 months has become home to thousands of displaced people like them, religious minorities who face threats from Islamic extremists. Across the three northern provinces known as Kurdistan, an estimated 30,000-50,000 Christians are taking refuge. In contrast to some reports in the United States, they say they are finding a haven not only from violence but from persecution. This month Kurdish officials gave a tentative go-ahead for a new evangelical church in Sulaymaniyah to serve the displaced from Baghdad, according to pastor Ghassan Thomas, and the government currently is backing the construction of more than 40 churches in the region.
Sulaymaniyah is home to Iraq's current president, Jalal Talabani, and sits among high desert hills at about 2,500 feet above sea level. It once boasted having Tucson as its sister city. Now it boasts overcrowded streets, construction cranes across the skyline, and a multi-ethnic, multi-religious revival in what until the war was largely a Kurdish enclave. The north has a tax- and duty-free policy on investments-prompting business interests driven out of Baghdad, as well as Turkish and Asian interests, to buy into development here.
At lunch in a restaurant with Akram and Sarab, a traditionally dressed Kurdish family sits to their right, while to their left sits a Western-dressed local government official talking business with Japanese investors. In the streets burqa-clad women brush shoulders with women in short skirts and heels, while men are apparently too busy hustling everything from pomegranates to refrigerators to notice the changes.
Landing here for the Almoshmos family has been easier than for many displaced. Thanks to a Kurdish business associate in Baghdad, Akram found a job as a local television set distributor. He is able to employ his now-handicapped former shop assistant. Sarab works for the Kurdish Heritage Institute. The Chaldean church here helped the family find a one-bedroom flat (for the family of six) and they live with borrowed furniture. Through the church they've encountered dozens of families without work or decent housing and are helping to assist them with monthly food baskets. But on Sept. 6, Sarab learned from a Baghdad neighbor that her mother had died, alone and separated by the violence.
City life for some is not solace enough. The village of Bereka is nearly as far from Baghdad as you can get without leaving Iraq-350 miles away from the capital high in the mountains near the Turkish border. And that's how far away Bihnan Rehana wants to be. Rehana was a resident of Baghdad's Dora district, historically a mostly Christian neighborhood, until terrorist groups emptied it door-to-door over the last 12 months. Earlier this year terrorists firebombed the Assyrian St. George's Church and removed its cross.
Rehana lived in Dora since 1975. He ran a street market, a good business that allowed him to support his wife and five children and to afford one of the district's larger houses. Then threats began: "I was approached by terrorist groups and asked how many children I had. When I told them five, they said, 'Fine, three for you and two for us.' They wanted us to pay $10,000 a month as a kind of tax for staying in Dora, or they would take my children."
Such threats follow a pattern described by many displaced Christians whom WORLD visited across five northern provinces. Usually black-masked militants threaten residents face-to-face or issue letters by night demanding that they convert to Islam, pay an exorbitant fee, or be killed. "To be safe, be Muslim," is their slogan.
One day the insurgents shot at Rehana's car to show him they were serious. Today he keeps the pockmarked sedan parked outside his new home in Bereka, the village of his forefathers. When he left Baghdad, he said, he left everything except the car and the clothes on his back. His youngest children are with relatives in Syria. His oldest son remains in Baghdad.
Rehana knows many Christians who have fled to neighboring Jordan and Syria. But like many WORLD spoke to, he believes that Baghdad one day will be livable again, and that the better choice is to stay. Judging by the four cities, two smaller towns, and eight villages WORLD visited across five northern Iraq provinces, he may be right. From the remote and mountainous border in the north to the hazy, hot, and brittle pastureland of Nineveh Plain, it's possible for an American to travel without personal protection, a government minder, or U.S. military escort, without a ceramic-plated vest or a headscarf. Christians and religious minorities in particular say they are welcomed at northern checkpoints, though Kurdish forces are notoriously hard on outsiders and reject most cars with Baghdad license plates.
Surprisingly, Kurdish officials in the north-underwritten by oil revenues and U.S. reconstruction aid-are taking the first steps to rebuild dozens of Assyrian Christian and Chaldean villages. Kurdish regional government (KRG) minister of finance Sarkis Aghajan Mamendu has made it a priority to fund housing and schools in these villages even ahead of Kurdish Muslim villages that were destroyed under Saddam Hussein.
In Bereka the KRG has built 25 concrete slab homes for 25 families from Baghdad. It also constructed a school and a church. In the far northern district of Dohuk, the Kurdish regional government has built 1,400 houses, 12 schools, and 13 churches in the last 18 months. (That's right, a majority Muslim government is building churches for displaced Christians.)
The evidence contrasts with recent reports, including a 2007 report filed by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), claiming Kurdish treatment of Assyrians in northern Iraq includes "religiously motivated discrimination," confiscation of property, and denial of "key social benefits, including employment and housing."
Emanuel Youkhana, an Assyrian priest and director of the Iraqi-German humanitarian aid organization CAPNI, called the report "totally misinformed." Youkhana, whose group runs a mobile medical clinic and other projects in villages across the region, told WORLD, "This is not paradise, but in this part of the world it's very easy to get enemies when what we need are friends. Iraqi Kurdistan is proving it can be a model for religious freedom starting in Iraq, and it needs to be supported."
USCIRF communications director Judith Ingram acknowledged, "We do know there is some dispute over these reports," and the commission held another set of hearings Sept. 19 on Iraq.
Area pastors also dispute the wisdom of creating a Christian enclave to protect minorities in the region. Pastor Yussuf Matty believes it would simply make Christians a bigger target for militant Islamists. And he has been successful in registering three schools in cities in the north that operate as Christian schools with student bodies-now numbering over 1,000-made up largely of Muslims. "What we tell the Kurdish officials is we want to work hand in hand with Kurdish Muslims, we want to live with you but not at the edge of life. We want to be at the heart of Kurdistan, and we want to work hard for the good of the community."
The USCIRF report also cites discrimination against Christians and land disputes in Nineveh Plain. But in En Baqr the government has built 31 new houses for displaced Chaldean families from Mosul and Baghdad. In Karanjo, CAPNI is finishing a church and rows of new houses are going up.
Nineveh Plain falls within Baghdad's administrative zone, and while it includes Kurdish, Armenian, Yezedi, and historic Christian villages, it has not seen the same level of progress as Kurdish-administrated villages further north. Problems and need remain for the estimated 4,500 displaced families there (one in four families of the total population).
In Germawa, former Baghdad resident Boutros Simon said three families are living in his new two-bedroom house because there is not enough housing in the village. Some of the new houses lack water and electricity. The 22 children in the village go to school in Al Kush, about 15 miles away. While there is farming in the area, most of the newly displaced don't have jobs. Simon receives about $100 a month in government stipend, like other displaced families who register with the government-not enough to support everyone under his roof. At current prices, a tank of gas in northern Iraq can cost nearly $100.
Simon said it will take years to sort out land claims all over the north, given Saddam Hussein's repeated purges of minority communities. He denied reports in the United States of land disputes locking out the Assyrian Christians who return to Nineveh Plain: "Village councils can present their cases to the government, and we are working to provide housing for everyone who comes here."
When Rehana returned to Bereka he found his family's land farmed by a Kurd under a 10-year lease with the local governorate. Without going to court, he and other returnees worked out an arrangement allowing the Kurd to complete the two years remaining on his lease before turning the land over to the Assyrian returnees.
Simon believes the economic picture will improve in Nineveh province if the area were to come under KRG control. That could happen if a referendum extending the Kurdish autonomous region as far south as Mosul and Kirkuk, encompassing Nineveh Plain, takes place. Under Iraq's new constitution, the referendum is to be scheduled before the end of 2007. But due to violence in Mosul and Kirkuk, and the debate over allocating oil revenues from the area, it's likely to be postponed. In the meantime, Simon-speaking for a surprising number of the displaced-says he longs for the day when it's safe enough to return to Baghdad.
On the cover
Danny arrived in a village in Nineveh Plain earlier this year with his mother, father, and older sister. They escaped Mosul after 8-year-old Danny was captured by militants on a spring day. Danny fought his captors for 15 minutes, drawing his sister's attention. When she ran to his aid, the armed and masked kidnappers shot at her but missed. She ran to her home and alerted her parents but it was too late. A ransom demand soon followed, and Danny's father (he asked that the family name not be used) negotiated the amount down to $750, a sum he had to borrow. After Danny was released, the masked men let neighbors know they would come after the daughter next, and the family took shelter in a new government home in the north-where life is hard, jobs are scarce, and the children stick closer than ever to their parents.

Video: Officials Call Prince George's County Fire 'Suspicious'
NEW CARROLLTON, Md. (WUSA) --Prince George's County Police have identified the victims of a fatal apartment fire in New Carrollton as 45-year-old John Michael Abbate and 53-year-old Tanya Winston.
Police are investigating the fire as a double homicide. The suspect, 44-year-old Anthony Andre Allain, was arrested and is being charged with two counts of felony murder and first degree arson.
On Sunday evening, Prince George's County firefighters responded to the 7600 block of Fountainbleau Drive and saw flames shooting out of a three-story garden style apartment.
One adult was found dead inside the apartment where the fire started. The other person jumped about 40 feet from the balcony.
The adult who jumped from the balcony was transported to the hospital and pronounced dead as a result of injuries from the jump.
Police and fire investigators believe the fire is suspicious because of some of the 911 calls they received.
Witnesses say they saw a person, who was later identified as Allain, climbing down from the apartment where the fire started.
About 50 residents will be displaced as a result of the fire damage. The identities of the victims have not been released.
Fire investigators say there is an estimated $200,000 worth of damage.

Kerry testifies before panel he chairs
WASHINGTON Sen. John Kerry, President Barack Obama's nominee for secretary of state, said Thursday that the United States must get its fiscal house in order to lead worldwide, as lawmakers signaled his confirmation was a foregone conclusion.
"More than ever, foreign policy is economic policy," Kerry said in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
It was an odd juxtaposition. Kerry has served on the committee during his entire 28 years in the Senate and has chaired the panel for the last four. On Thursday, he sat at the witness table, his voice cracking from emotion at times, facing his colleagues and friends.
Obama chose Kerry to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who introduced the senator.
"John is the right choice," Clinton told the panel. "He will bring a record of leadership and service that is exemplary."
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., the incoming chairman who presided over the confirmation hearing, noted that Kerry was the first senator on the panel in a century to ascend to the Cabinet post. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., the panel's ranking Republican, told Kerry, "you've almost lived your entire life for this moment."
In his testimony, Kerry stressed that the United States must thwart any Iranian ambition to develop a nuclear weapons, saying containment is not an option.
The policy "is prevention and the clock is ticking on our efforts to secure responsible compliance," Kerry said.
A lone protester shouting about the Middle East interrupted the hearing. Just as Kerry completed his prepared testimony, the woman began shouting about the Middle East and was escorted from the room.
The Vietnam War, a long, bitter conflict that decimated a generation of draft-age men, played a prominent role at the hearing.
In his testimony, Kerry alluded to his controversial moment before the committee some 42 years ago, when the decorated Vietnam veteran testified about his opposition to the war, and famously asked, "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"
"Today I can't help but recognize that the world itself then was in many ways simpler, divided as it was along bi-polar, Cold War antagonisms," Kerry said. "Today's world is more complicated than anything we have experienced - from the emergence of China to the Arab Awakening: inextricably linked economic, health, environmental and demographic issues" as well as issues such as proliferation.
McCain, who also introduced Kerry, said the roots of their friendship was their work on a committee seeking to resolve the status of POWs and missing in action from Vietnam as well as efforts to ensure normal U.S. relations with Vietnam during President Bill Clinton's administration.
"Helping to establish a relationship with Vietnam that serves American interests and values rather than one that remained mired in mutual resentment and bitterness is one of my proudest accomplishments as a senator, and I expect it is one of John's as well," McCain said. "Working toward that end with John, and witnessing almost daily his exemplary statesmanship is one of the highest privileges I've had here."
The hearing is the first of three for Obama's national security nominees, and the least controversial.
Former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, nominated for defense secretary, will face tough questions about his past statements on Israel, Iran, nuclear weapons and defense spending at his confirmation hearing next Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee. John Brennan, the president's choice for CIA director, will be quizzed about White House national security leaks and the use of unmanned drones at his hearing next month.
The job of the nation's top diplomat would be the realization of a dream for Kerry, whom Obama passed over in 2008 when he chose Clinton. When Joe Biden became vice president, Kerry replaced the former Delaware senator as chairman of the committee.

By the numbers, some of the best spots to bow hunt
West Virginia's wildlife officials like to boast that bowhunters can find deer practically in their own backyards.
In some respects, they're right. Some of the state's best bow hunting can be found within the corporate limits of its largest cities. If deer can thrive there, they can thrive just about anywhere.
But just because deer are evenly distributed doesn't mean bow hunting opportunities are. Some hunting spots are indeed more equal than others.
A cursory glance at the state's 2011 bow-harvest statistics easily reveals a list of counties where archers killed the most whitetails. Those numbers, however, don't tell the full story. Counties with large surface areas tend also to have larger harvests.
Division of Natural Resources biologists measure counties' productivity by the number of deer that hunters kill in each square mile of whitetail habitat. That's a much more accurate assessment, but not foolproof either. Tiny counties tend to have grossly inflated deer-per-square-mile statistics.
So for purposes of determining which counties are truly the best bets for Mountain State archers, Woods & Waters has chosen to combine the two measurements.
The crack W&W stat squad ranked all the counties' bow harvests and deer-per-square-mile ratios and averaged them against one another. Three Northern Panhandle counties - Hancock, Brooke and Ohio - were tossed out because their tiny surface areas blew their per-square-mile statistics far out of proportion.
Here's how the top 10 broke out:
When one considers the amount of public hunting land available within the county, Preston becomes even more attractive. The 12,713-acre Coopers Rock State Forest and the 3,092-acre Snake Hill Wildlife Management Area lie mostly within the county, as does a small portion of the Monongahela National Forest's 58,798-acre Blackwater WMA.
Like its big neighbor to the east, Preston County, Monongalia also boasts an enviable array of public-land hunting opportunities. Portions of the aforementioned Coopers Rock and Snake Hill tracts lie within the county's borders, as do the 1,036-acre Little Indian Creek WMA and the 766-acre Pedlar WMA.
Still, bowhunters must be finding plenty of private land on which to hunt, or Wood's statistics wouldn't be as good as they are. The county's average of 2.42 whitetails per square mile was the state's second best in 2011. The county's raw harvest of 749 deer ranked 10th.
The county contains two extremely popular public hunting tracts: The 11,772-acre Chief Cornstalk WMA near Southside, and the 3,655-acre McClintic WMA north of Point Pleasant. McClintic is one of the state's "older-age deer management" areas, and hunters who head there should be aware that any bucks they kill must have antler spreads of at least 14 inches.
Year in and year out, Upshur performs well despite a shortage of public land. Only a small sliver of the 2,985-acre Stonecoal WMA falls within the county's borders.
And yet, there sits Raleigh County at sixth on our best-bets list. Raleigh's archers killed 812 deer last year, the state's fifth-best total, and the county tied for 13th in deer per square mile with an average of 1.48.
There are no state-owned or leased public hunting areas within the county, but most of the lands of the New River Gorge National River are open to hunting. Hunters should check with the National Park Service in Hinton, Glen Jean or Fayetteville to learn where hunting is prohibited within the park.
Wyoming's presence on the list could mean one of two things - that the county's whitetail population is larger than most people might suspect, or that the county attracts so many archers that its bow kill is artificially high.
Whatever the cause, last year Wyoming ranked ninth in bow harvest with 772 deer; and 12th in productivity with an average of 1.56 whitetails per square mile.
What's more, the county produced eight bucks that qualified for the state's Big Buck Contest, the highest total on this year's best-bets roster.
Bowhunters killed 883 whitetails there last year, fourth most in the state. Nicholas' average of 1.43 deer per square mile ranked 18th.
For public-land hunters, Nicholas is a playground. Within the county's borders can be found half of the 11,507-acre Gauley River National Recreation Area, all of the 5,974-acre Summersville Lake WMA, and a sizable chunk of the Monongahela National Forest's 35,864-acre Cranberry WMA.
Most of the county consists of small private woodlots and farms, but the 7,061-acre Amherst-Plymouth WMA near Bancroft provides a substantial destination for public-land hunters.
Two good-sized wildlife management areas provide steady, dependable public hunting opportunities - the 2,587 Frozen Camp WMA east of Ripley, and the 1,696-acre Woodrum Lake WMA near Kentuck.

Woman accused of battery by strangulation
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 12:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 12:46 p.m.
DUNNELLON - A woman accused of choking another woman was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with domestic battery by strangulation.
At 3:10 a.m., Deputy Patrick Doddy responded to a residence and saw that a Dunnellon Police Department officer had detained the suspect, Krystal Knirsch, 34, on the ground.
A witness told the deputy that Knirsch and her girlfriend had been drinking and had an argument.
The incident occurred at the man's home.
The man said he made Knirsch leave his home so she would calm down. He said Knirsch then broke the rear glass door, came back inside and choked the other woman, forcing her to her knees. He said he pulled Knirsch off the woman, slammed her into the refrigerator, pulled her outside and detained her until police arrived, according to Sheriff's Office reports.
The victim told the deputy a similar story.
Knirsch was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.

Strange one. I get four of these messages from cron every day. The directory does exist. And I've tried running mklost+found as suggested. But I still get the messages. Any ideas?

Cato, Herd can't afford slow start vs. Bobcats
UNDERSTATEMENT of the week: Marshall got off to a rough start in last year's loss to Ohio.
Yeah, and Savannah State can't hang with the Cowboys and Seminoles.
If you've joked about the Thundering Herd "not showing up" in last year's 44-7 debacle at the Bobcats' Peden Stadium, you're off base. You see, that was the problem - the Herd showed up and played some of its most brutal football in recent memory.
A review of the painful details leads to one theory: The Herd couldn't possibly pull a repeat in the rematch Saturday, could it?
In his third collegiate start, Rakeem Cato threw an interception on his second attempt, a tipped pass caught by Omar Leftwich at the line. The Bobcats drove 39 yards for the first touchdown.
The Herd tied it up on a long pass to Aaron Dobson and held Ohio to a short field goal, but that was the entire first-half highlight package. Cato was heisted by Xavier Hughes and then Travis Carrie, the latter resulting in a 33-yard TD. C.J. Crawford fumbled after gaining a first down (Ohio scored a short field goal), Tyler Tettleton hit Phil Bates on a 50-yard TD pass and Travon Van fumbled to set up another Ohio TD.
By then, it was 34-7, which was the halftime score. The Herd suffered six turnovers and allowed 358 total yards.
The Herd had a similarly ugly first half later in the season at Tulsa, but even that didn't feature six turnovers. For the game, Ohio recorded 22 plays with double-digit yardage, including a 13-yard fake-punt run with the score 37-7.
Ohio will come to Huntington 2-0, with impressive wins over what's left of Penn State and perennially hapless New Mexico State.
So what will be different, besides the venue?
Cato is the obvious starting point. When he watches the film, he might not recognize himself.
For one thing, he shaved the beard. After he threw for 377 yards in a systematic dismantling of Western Carolina on Saturday, he entered postgame interviews wearing that "Fear the Beard" shirt, but sported only an 11 o'clock shadow to back it up.
Fear the scruff?
"Just woke up early one morning, [Friday] morning and just decided to cut it," he said.
If he directs the Herd like he has in the first two games, he will be feared by defenses all over Conference USA. The sample is small and the season is young, but it's already getting tough to place him below another C-USA quarterback in talent and production.
By the numbers, Cato is completing 72.8 percent of his tosses - for comparison, he has the same number of completions (70) as Houston's David Piland, but with 25 fewer attempts. With 790 yards, five touchdowns and just one interception, Cato's passer rating is a league-best 157.14.
Against Western Carolina, Cato and Blake Frohnapfel led the Herd to a school-record 37 first downs (36 vs. Western Carolina, 1987, was the old mark).
(Note: The NCAA lists Cato with 15 more yards and a slightly higher rating. The NCAA's stat program has yet to adjust for the 25-yard touchbacks, so some numbers are overstated. Another consequence of the bogus kickoff rule.)
Cato's best QB matchup remaining could come this month. The Caleb TerBush/Robert Marve hybrid at Purdue is a good guess, if only by name recognition. Rice's Taylor McHargue is an underrated QB, though not by UCLA and Kansas.
That leaves Tettleton of the Mid-American Conference favorite, a year after he racked up 338 total yards and accounted for four TDs against the Herd. He has Cato's completion rate for 581 yards and four touchdowns, and has rushed for two more.
Some of Tettleton's weapons from last year are gone, but running back Beau Blankenship and receiver Donte Foster are threats. Ohio's line has given up just two sacks, which equals what MU's defense has managed.
That spells more trouble for Marshall's defense, adjusted after a gutsy move of D.J. Hunter to strong-side linebacker - or as Hunter would put it, a relocated nickel. That trouble means Cato must keep up his hyper-production pace this week.
As well as Cato has run that spot-ball-and-go attack, he needs to get out of the gate cleaner.
The Herd has failed to score a touchdown in the first three possessions of both games this season. At West Virginia, the result was three punts and a 13-0 deficit. Against Western Carolina, it was two field-goal attempts, a punt and a 3-0 lead that had a few natives getting restless.
Sluggish starts were a theme of the 2011 season, and a reason six of seven Marshall wins were in doubt deep into the fourth quarter. It says here that Cato and the Herd offense cannot start slowly against the Bobcats.
But it also says here that the Herd won't commit six first-half turnovers. Right?
Game time is 6:30 p.m., with the game on television ... nowhere. Not a bad call, all the way around - 6:30 might best bridge the gap between those wanting to get home at a decent hour and fans who could not attend an afternoon game. Lack of TV could boost a gate that should hit the 30,000 mark.
I issue the no-television reminder because when fans can't find the game, we get the calls. I recently cleared three voice-mail messages from Sept. 1, from fans wanting to know where the Herd-WVU game was airing. (Calling our sports department at noon on a Saturday is a guaranteed futile exercise.)
I hope all got where they needed to go then, but Herd fans must know they will either go to the game or listen to Steve Cotton on their radio. As always, we cannot magically get the game on your set.
Eye-popping results of Week 2:
The game wasn't that close, as Houston scored in the final minute and failed on the onside kick. But the teams combined for a 209 plays (Houston, 115-94), 129 passes without an interception (Houston, 77-52), completions (Houston, 53-34) and 78 first downs (Houston 40-38).
The Bulldogs have too many seniors on offense, it seems, to carry the momentum of a projected WAC-pillaging to C-USA. But Sonny Dykes has a good thing going in Ruston, La.

Logana Pool and Waterslide
After a library visitor recently asked about the Logana facility, I learned a great bit about local entertainment history.
Logana Plunge was located at 415 West and 1400 North around five artisan wells, four of which were geothermally heated, 80 degree water. The first swimming hole on the site was constructed in the 1920's. Soon a roof was constructed over the pool, but this roof collapsed in the mid-1960's during a heavy snowfall.
Ken and Marie Lindquist bought the pool in 1970 from Blaine Spencer. They soon added a slide for little kids and baseball batting cages along with other improvements. The swimming pool was finally closed in 1992. It is reported that Logan City considered buying the facility, but decided instead to construct the Logan Aquatic Center which currently serves the citizens of Logan at 451 South 500 West.

May 30, 2016
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- DeAndre Daniels had 20 points and 10 rebounds Saturday to help UConn snap Florida's 30-game win streak with a 63-53 upset of the Gators at the Final Four.
Shabazz Napier had 12 for the seventh-seeded Huskies (31-8), who trailed 16-4 midway through the first half but took the lead by halftime and pushed it to double digits early in the second half.
UConn will play for its second title in four years Monday against Kentucky or Wisconsin.
The Huskies were the last team to beat the Gators (36-3), 65-64 back on Dec. 2.
Florida came in as the tournament's top overall seed. Patric Young had 19 points and Casey Prather added 15 for the Gators, but Scottie Wilbekin was held to four points with three turnovers.

Just wondering if anyone has, or plans to use swhackers for elk. I just tried them this summer and they shoot fantastic. Any input???
Just wondering if anyone has, or plans to use swhackers for elk. I just tried them this summer and they shoot fantastic. Any input???
If you can put that broadhead in the kill zone, go for it.
Strother Inspire
Gold Tip Kenetics 300
Ripcord Code Red
Tight Spot Quiver
Black Gold Ascent
Landshark by Simmons Sharks
Not my first choice. I really don't care for the design of this broadhead. On a quartering away shot I just don't think this broadhead would perform as described with the way the blades deploy, especially on a thick skinned animal like an elk. There are just a lot better options out there to pick from.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I would just be worried that if the ferrule bent even slightly the blades would be locked in and you would be pretty much shooting them with a field point.
As far as mechanicals go this is a very very good design because you loose so much energy cutting thru the hide on a elk. Since the blades open inside you only cut a small hole going in. I don't think the ferrule is going to bend as they shoot them thru 1/2" plywood but I don't like the taper they have from tip to the ferrule as you will loose some energy due to friction. If they made a 75gr head and I had to shoot a mechanical I would be shooting them. I like the small cutting diameter fixed blades check out the QAD Exodus that just came out those look good. I went with the steelforce Phathead Titanium but also like the Rocket ultimate steel.
I know that a lot of people will use mechanicals on elk, but with the size and strength of the animal, I prefer to have one less thing go wrong. Spend the time making sure your bow is tuned properly and shoot fixed blades. You won't regret it.

text: By LaDonna SwedbergSports Writer Game two for Wallace was very similar to the first game: domination on both sides of the ball from the opening kickoff until the final buzzer. Creek Valley came to town with a very young and inexperienced team and the Wildcats totally controlled every aspect of the game. Shane Anders started the game by kicking the ball deep to the two-yard line and then he hustled down the field to make the tackle on the four yard line. The Storm came out on the move and completed a 13-yard pass on their second down but that was all they would be allowed. The Wallace defense stepped up and moved Creek Valley backward to force them to punt on fourth and 19. Landon Swedberg was waiting for the punt near mid-field and 41 yards later, he was in the end zone for the Wildcats first six points. Andrew Gardener ran up the middle for the extra two points to give Wallace an early 8-0 lead. Anders sent the kickoff to the endzone so the Storm began their next drive on the 15-yard line. The Wildcat defense picked up where they had left off, stopping Creek Valley in their back field and forcing another fourth and 19 punt. An out of bounds punt gave Wallace the ball on the Storm 35-yard line. John Marquardt's hot passing hand apparently didn't cool off during the week of high temperatures because he once again was spot-on to Swedberg for a 35-yard touchdown pass. Jacob Melton got around the outside corner for the two-point conversion and a 12 point Wildcat lead. Creek Valley's woes continued on their next possession when they once again lost yardage on each down, only this time Bi Gatobu forced a fumble which he recovered on the one-yard line. Anders went to the backfield to get the one yard touchdown but he turned the one yard into at least 25 yards when he ran to the far side, hit a wall, reversed the field and ran to the other side before crossing the goal line. The extra long one yard touchdown was good for another six points for Wallace. The stingy Wildcat defense continued to force the Storm to punt after three downs. Tanner Clough returned one of the punts 40 yards for a touchdown and Swedberg added the extra two points. Following Creek Valley's next punt to the Wildcat 27-yard line, Swedberg took the handoff from Marquardt and ran for a 53-yard touchdown to give Wallace a 38-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Storm got a break early in the second quarter when the Wildcats fumbled a punt, but the defense spoiled it once again for Creek Valley. Marquardt tipped a pass and then managed to pull it in and take it all the way for a touchdown. He also ran up the middle for the two-point conversion. Creek Valley experienced a similar situation on their next attempt on offense. As the quarterback was pitching the ball to his running back, Jacob Melton batted the ball down then picked it up and ran it in for six more Wildcat points. Jacob also scored the two extra points for a 54-0 lead. Before the half came to an end, the Wallace defense forced another punt to give the offense an additional opportunity. Marquardt ran the ball a couple of times for good yardage and then Andrew Gardener completed the drive with a 10 yard run. Gardener also ran in for the two-point conversion to give the Wildcats a 62-0 halftime lead. A running clock made the second half go by rather quickly which was a blessing due to the stifling heat. Each team had the ball for two possessions in the third quarter. Wallace was forced to punt on their first possession but they made the most of their second opportunity. The Wildcat defense stopped Creek Valley on a fourth down to take over on downs at the Storm's 18-yard line. Jacob Melton only needed one down to scamper into the endzone for Wallace's only third quarter touchdown. After providing a key block for Melton on his scoring run, Josh May carried the ball for the extra two points to give his team a 70-0 lead with 4:28 remaining in the third quarter. Creek Valley put together their best drive as the game moved into the final quarter. The Storm was using a successful passing game as they moved the ball to the Wildcat 34-yard line but that is where the Big Blue ended the drive by stopping them on a fourth and two attempt. Wallace took over on downs and Clough needed just one down to find his way to the goal line for a 46-yard touchdown run. The extra point attempt failed so the score was at 76-0. Creek Valley nearly scored on their final possession of the game when Cody Simmons got loose for a 46-yard run and made it to the Wallace 11-yard line before Clough brought him down. The young Wildcat defense wanted the shutout so they ended the drive when Logan Hock recovered a fumble on the six-yard line. The Wildcats were on the move again when the final buzzer sounded giving Wallace the 76-0 victory. In spite of the merciless heat, all of the Wildcats put together an impressive win. The younger players got some valuable game time experience and made the most of it. A number of players put up some impressive stats for Wallace. Tanner Clough was the leading rusher with 65 yards on four carries. Jacob Melton and Landon Swedberg were close behind: Melton had 60 yards on five carries and Swedberg had 56 yards with two carries. All three boys had a rushing touchdown. Marquardt was one for one passing with a 35-yard touchdown pass to Swedberg and he rushed for an additional 32 yards. Andrew Gardner led the way on defense: he had six solo tackles and four assisted. Jeff Harms followed with two solo and seven assisted and Swedberg had six solo tackles and one assist. Each Wildcat deserved recognition for their efforts in a well played ball game. Next action for Wallace will be on the road again this week when they travel to Paxton to take on a tough Tiger team. Kick off will be at 8:00 p.m.

Luann comic strip creator visits another age, stage
SAN MARCOS Ten thousand mornings ago, Greg Evans could not have imagined where Luann would take him.
Evans was 38 years old in 1985, when he began writing and illustrating what has become one of the most successful daily comic strips, named for a never-aging blonde teenager surrounded by a forever young cast of peers and a dog named Puddles.
Now 65, Evans has recently overseen the production of another type of story, dealing with the other end of the life cycle.
It is a musical called "Wrinkles," written by Evans for an ensemble of older actors and grappling with the aches and pains of an aging generation.
The production debuted in Vista during the spring of 2010, moved to the Welk Theatre last year, and will appear this March in Fallbrook. A casting call went out last week seeking eight actors "with wrinkles" for auditions scheduled Jan. 8-9 at Zion Lutheran Church.
For an artist who has spent 27 years imagining teenage life a few newsprint frames at a time, the show is somewhat of a departure.
"It's similar in the sense that a comic strip and a stage piece are 100 percent dialogue," he told me when we sat down in his San Marcos home on Thursday. "All you're writing is dialogue. Of course, the primary difference is that there's music involved in a musical."
Evans wrote all 15 of the songs in "Wrinkles," and admitted that it took him a while.
"I can play rudimentary piano—just enough to plunk out a melody—then I hire an orchestrator to write the scores," he said.
Ultimately, the reward of writing for the stage is that Evans gets to witness an audience interacting with his characters. Potentially millions of readers visit "Luann" over breakfast every day, but their smiles are lost to the solitary cartoonist in his den, crafting the story.
"When I write a stage piece, I can sit in the audience and hear a reaction," he said. "It's very satisfying when people laugh at a line you've written, or applaud a song."
Evans' first theatrical piece, "Luann" the musical, debuted in 2006 and has been produced at least a dozen times locally.
He said his purpose with that play was to give teenagers an acting outlet that didn't require them to portray much older characters.
"I like musicals, and we'll go and see some high school group trying to do 'My Fair Lady' or something—they've got gray wigs, and they're trying to be adults," Evans told me. "I wrote 'Luann' before 'High School Musical' came along because there was nothing, really, for teenagers to do.
Similarly, he added, "On the other end of the scale, there's not much for older actors to do in musical theater. They might play the mom or the dad, but that's about it."
Wrinkles have never been a problem for Evans' leading lady. For the first 12 years, Luann remained 13 years old.
"I aged her to 16 overnight—I had done all of the 13-year-old stuff I could think of—and that's where she's been for the last decade or so," he explained. "But now I'm gearing up for a new phase. I don't want to reveal too much, but I am thinking along the lines of a progression.
"In the beginning, it was pretty much a gag a day, but after a while you kind of run out of gags to write about the teenage years," Evans said. "I always wanted to do more serious themes, because being a teenager is serious—these days, especially."
He writes two months ahead, rendering the story on a large digital screen: "I usually kind of work in batches. It's all about editing and getting (the word count) down. Instead of having a character say, 'I don't understand,' they say, 'Huh?' More room for the pictures. I'll sit and draw until I'm weary of that, then send it off.
