La Center incident raises question of when shootings are justified
A man suspected of prowling around a La Center home early Tuesday died in the hospital after being shot by the homeowner, the Clark County Sheriff's Office said.
The events began unfolding just after 12:30 a.m. when a man called 911 to report a prowler outside his home at 33506 N.W. 11th Court, off Pacific Highway. About two minutes later, the dispatcher was told the suspect was shot outside the home, according to dispatch logs.
Deputies arrived and found a man with a gunshot wound to the torso in the home's driveway off a private, gravel road. Police provided medical aid until medics arrived.
The wounded man was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center where he later died, the sheriff's office said.
The sheriff's office on Tuesday afternoon identified the suspected prowler as Barry Parnel, 29, of Vancouver-.
The Clark County Medical Examiner's Office performed an autopsy and listed Parnel's cause of death as a "shotgun wound to the chest and abdomen."
The homeowner was identified as Leland Larsen, 59.
The shooting did not occur in the home, said Sgt. Fred Neiman, a sheriff's office- spokesman.
Neiman and Detective Sgt. Kevin Allais with the sheriff's Major Crimes Unit said Tuesday night that they could not reveal whether Parnel had displayed a weapon.
Once the detectives complete their investigation, it will be sent to the Clark County Prosecutor's Office for review of whether Leland Larsen violated any laws.
That is standard in such cases, Neiman said.
County property records show the home is owned by Leland and Mary Larsen.
Neighbor Barbara Barnhart said she can see the Larsen's home from her window. She was up at the time of the incident and heard an unusual bark from her dog. Barnhart brought the dog inside and heard two shots.
Then she got a call from Mary Larsen who was crying and said they had an intruder. Larsen told Barnhart to lock her doors, Barnhart said.
Larsen told Barnhart she was letting her dogs out from the bedroom door when she saw a "hulk of a man" in a black hood outside, Barnhart said. She screamed and closed the door, Barnhart said.
Barnhart isn't sure what happened next.
Sheriff's deputies conducted the investigation through the night.
The events shocked Barnhart. She hadn't heard of any prowlers near her home before. On occasion, people will pass by trying to get down to the East Fork of the Lewis River, which passes by the Larsen's home, Barnhart said, but they usually turn around when they find out it's a private road.
The sheriff's office Major Crimes Unit responded and is interviewing residents of the home and processing the scene for evidence.
It appears the suspect was not known by the homeowners, the sheriff's office said.
Barry Parnel has a Facebook page listing -himself as a 2000 graduate of Evergreen High School.
No charges have been filed and no arrest had been made as of Tuesday night.

The Unbelievable truth by Gordon Smith
Book Description
Gordon Smith, the internationally respected medium and author of 'Spirit Messenger' astounds people with the incredibly accurate messages he brings from the spirit world, and explains how he gets his information with no tricks and no mumbo-jumbo.
Book Review
Having read 'Spirit Messenger', which was this writers previous book, I was looking forward to this one, and to the no nonsense style of Gordon Smith. He is renowned for the accurate messages he tells grieving people about their friends and family who have died. In this book, firstly he attempts to explain how mediums get their information, and why spirits choose to communicate with us. All the information is drawn from the writers own personal experience and he uses a lot of humour and anecdotes to explain his points. He also touches on ghosts, and poltergeists and how some people in a vulnerable state can be conned by frauds and pseudo-spiritualists only out to make money.
I particularly found the section of the book on out of body experiences and reincarnation most interesting and learned a lot.
This is obviously not a book for everyone. However, if you have an interest in things spiritual, it is a breath of fresh air compared to the sensational charlatans who promise the earth, and come up with generalities and ambiguous messages form the other side. There is an amazing reference to a séance which took place in 1944 and is well documented and hit the headlines. The medium was Helen Duncan and the séance was inPortsmouth. What was so amazing was that a young soldier who had been killed on the HMS Barham materialised and told his mother she would receive confirmation of his death in three weeks time. The book is chock full of stories like this and their follow ups.
I would highly recommend both books, 'Spirit Messengers' and 'The Unbelievable Truth' to open minds and those willing to learn something about life after death.

I'm probably going to get this rack for my 1,400 mile tour this summer.
Axiom Streamliner Road Dlx Rear Rack Black | eBay
It's one of the only rear rack models that attaches at the rear brake caliper thread.
I will be attaching this rack via the rear caliper thread & P clamps on the seat stays (I like my rear wheel to be directly in touch with the dropouts).
What kind of panniers go with this rack though? It's especially narrow...
I'm looking for:
1. Waterproof
2. Able to hold "lots of gear & food & water"
3. Two panniers on the sides & one big pannier on top
(I suppose I could just use the two side panniers & strap a sleeping bag, sleeping pad & tent on top of them with bungee cords)

WELLSBURG - The Buckeye Local softball team posted eight runs in the first two innings, which proved more than enough to defeat Brooke, 8-2, on Friday at the Brooke Athletic Complex.
"We were hitting better (Friday)," Buckeye Local coach Carrie Laase-Whitehead said. "That's our forte. We struggled a little bit (Thursday). I think we came out on a new page. When we have our bats on fire, we're good to go."
The Panthers opened play with a barrage of singles courtesy of Dana Bettineschi, Aliyah Morelli, Tori Nest, and Amy Balk. A Karlee Leonard walk was sandwiched between the four hits.

Buckeye Local's Jenna Clark works to the plate during Friday's game at Brooke High School.
Two errors by Brooke helped extend the inning. All five base runners scored by the end of the inning as Nest and Balk plated multiple runs.
"We dug ourselves a hole early," Brooke coach Mike Wagner said. "They hit the ball well in those first few innings. We simply didn't make some of the plays we are capable of making."
During the top of the second, Morelli again reached base on an error. Leonard singled. Balk then blasted a 3-run home run over the left- center field fence. The round tripper appeared to ride the wind currents and carry all the way out of the ballpark.
"She was overdue," Laase-Whitehead said. "She is a power hitter. We haven't had too many home runs this year, but it was beautiful. Soon as it left the bat, we knew. It brought us up big time."
Morelli was solid at the plate, but it was her defense, and that of the entire team, that caught the coach's eye.
"Defensively, we were very sound," Laase-Whitehead said. "We had some key defensive plays. Aliyah Morelli made some nice defensive plays out in center field to take away base hits. We had some nice plays in the infield, as well.
"We meshed together as a team and completed the game."
Despite a daunting start, Brooke never quit. It posted two runs in the fourth and seventh innings. The Bruins were led offensively by second baseman Lindsay Kurcina, who posted two singles. Clarissa Kowalczyk, Katie O'Connell, and Lauren Lehan each added a base hit.
"We had some chances offensively with baserunners in play trying to crawl back into the game, but we didn't get the timely hit when we needed it," Wagner said.
"The girls continued to fight. They did some things well, but we have to tighten up the rest of our game.

The Q4FY15 release of the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Program for Evaluating Payment Patterns Electronic Report (PEPPER) with statistics through September 2015 is now available!

Providers can use the data to support internal auditing and monitoring activities. Please click HERE for more information on report access.
On April 13th, the NPUAP announced the term "pressure injury" replaces "pressure ulcer" in the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel Pressure Injury Staging System. In addition to the change in terminology, Arabic numbers are now used in the names of the stages instead of Roman numerals. Other changes were agreed upon at a recent meeting of over 400 professionals per a consensus format. Additional information regarding the aforementioned changes can be found here.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently announced the establishment of 10 regional Elder Justice Task Forces, which bring together federal, state and local prosecutors, law enforcement and agencies that provide services to the elderly to coordinate and enhance efforts to identify and pursue nursing centers that provide substandard care to residents. Participants in the regional task forces will include the state Medicaid Fraud Control Units, US Attorneys' offices, HHS, state Adult Protective Services agencies, Long Term Care Ombudsman programs, and various other law enforcement agencies. The DOJ indicates the task forces will focus on protecting nursing center residents from serious abuse, neglect, and other harmful care resulting in "grossly substandard care," by prosecuting individuals and companies involved in such care. These task forces will play an integral role in DOJ's future investigation and enforcement activities against nursing centers.
The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (IMPACT Act), enacted on October 6, 2014, requires the implementation of a quality reporting program for SNFs beginning with FY 2018. SNFs that do not submit required quality data to CMS under the SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP) will be subject to a 2.0 percentage point reduction to their annual updates. The IMPACT Act requires the continued specification of quality measures for the SNF QRP, as well as resource use and other measures. In order to satisfy the requirements of the IMPACT Act, CMS is proposing one new assessment-based quality measure, and three claims-based measures for inclusion in the SNF QRP. These measures align with the measures proposed for inclusion in the Long Term Care Hospitals (LTCH) QRP and the Inpatient Rehabilitation (IRF) QRP. Assessment-based measure for the FY 2020 payment determination and subsequent years: 1. Drug Regimen Review Conducted with Follow-Up for Identified Issues. Claims-based measures for the FY 2018 payment determination and subsequent years: 1. Discharge to Community – Post Acute Care (PAC) SNF QRP; 2. Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary (MSPB) – PAC SNF QRP; and 3. Potentially Preventable 30 Day Post-Discharge Readmission Measure for SNFs
The Skilled Nursing Facility Value Based Purchasing Program (SNF VBP), which was part of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA), established a 2 percent withhold to SNF Part A payments that can be partially earned back based on a SNF's rehospitalization score. The rehospitalization score is the better of either an achievement score (i.e. the rehospitalization rate) or improvement score (i.e. the change in rehospitalization rate over time). The PAMA requires that the lower 40 percent of ranked SNFs will receive less than the top 60 percent of ranked SNFs. The rehospitalization score and withhold will be publicly reported. In last year's rule, CMS specified the measure to be used – SNF Rehospitalization Measure (SNF RM). This is a claims-based risk adjusted measure that is an all-cause 30 day rehospitalization measures. The PAMA SNF VBP requires CMS to transition to a potentially preventable measure. Also in last year's rule, CMS asked for input on all aspects of operationalizing the SNF VBP program. The Agency did not finalize any aspects of the program in the final rule except for specifying SNF RM. This rule proposes to specify the SNF 30-Day Potentially Preventable Readmission Measure, (SNFPPR), as the all-cause, all-condition risk-adjusted potentially preventable hospital readmission measure to meet the requirements of section 1888(g)(2) of [...]
On April 21st, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the FY 2017 Skilled Nursing Center Prospective Payment System Proposed Rule. The AHCA conducted and archived a webinar on the proposed rule for member reference and have also provided a summary of the rule. The CMS hosted an open door forum on Thursday, April 27th related to the proposed rule and discussion items from the forum can be accessed here. Below are some highlights from the proposed rule specific to the VBP & QPR programs.
The six new measures the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced would be posted to Nursing Home Compare—four short-stay and two long-stay— were posted on April 27th. The short-stay measures include: discharge back to the community; emergency room use; rehospitalizations; and, improvement in function. The new long-stay measures are decline in mobility and the use of hypnotics/anxiolytics. Five of these measures will begin to impact centers' five star rating beginning in July (hypnotic/anxiolytic measure will not be used in five star rating at this time). On April 21st, Five-Star Preview Reports were made available through the CMS QIES System. Instructions on how to access these reports can be found here. Technical specifications defining methodology for impact to five star rating have not been released.

Love! Definitely Replenishes, Feels Good, Smells GoodWhat a great, nourishing hand cream. I can never have enough of this cream in my bags, in the office, when traveling...just a fresh smelling and moisturizing cream. Your hands will never get chapped when you use this cream. This is a thick cream...but it doesn't stay greasy at all. This cream absorbs quickly and makes your hands feel fresh, clean and soft. Almost like after a manicure in which you...read more rub your hands in an oil...but without any greasy residue feeling. You can even put it on and drive without leaving any mark on the steering wheel. Magical cream...don't by 1, buy 5!! A little pricey, but worth it..feels that good. — 3 years, 2 months agosprout117 | 221 reviews

This is going to be a big offseason. Both Frye and Stoudemire can, and will, opt out of their contracts. Do we resign both? Will we cave in to giving Amare a max deal? Do we do a sign and trade deal? Just let him walk outright?
This is a pivotal offseason. The moves we make this summer could make or break our future.

CAMANO ISLAND, Wash. (AP) — An off-duty Woodinville firefighter was killed Wednesday night in a one-car crash on Camano Island.
The Washington State Patrol says a pickup truck driven by 38-year-old Matthew Roodzant of Camano Island failed to stop at an intersection, went through a guard rail and hit a tree. Troopers believe he had been drinking. A passenger in the truck was not hurt.
KOMO reports Roodzant was a 10-year veteran of the Woodinville Fire Department.

Hi all.
I've been interested in converting my beat up K-Mart (New Zealand original) bike to single speed or fixed gear for quite some time.
The question is, are these dropouts compatible with the conversion?
I had a look at charts but couldn't tell iv they were horizontal or vertical.
I have a bad feeling they're somewhere in between.
Help me please!
P.S. sorry the images are fuzzy.
I don't know how to do all this photo stuff so you can follow the link or look at my avatar which is probably too small...

This class was very informative, with lots of hands on time. The teacher did a great job spending time helping each of us. I'm now hooked on spinning.
I found it helpful that I had taken the spindle class first, which gave me an intro to some of the basics that this class did not have time to cover.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

so as the title says ive got a 105 fd on a triple 2300 (not sure if that makes a huge difference) ive got it fairly adjusted but im still getting lots of chain rub both both ends, i rarely ever use my granny gear so i figured why not throw a double fd on.
ive got the rd angled out to help with shifting and height is off but its works, i would like it to be lower. and i took about 4 maybe 5 links out of the chain (i read that might).
basically any tips to help with the chain rub, for whatever reason the high and low limits aren't doing a damn thing from what i can tell. tension, no tension adjustments are not happening (at least not visible) also the fd is a "new" its a take off, i got a great deal on ebay on it, but now im worried im gonna wear a whole through it or blow through chains cuz of the rubbing.

Walking through the city, looking oh so pretty,
I've just got to find my way.
See the ladies flashing. All there legs and lashes.
I've just got to find my way.
Well you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide.
What you seeing girl?
Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it,
Can't you believe your eyes?
It's the real thing girl.
Got me feeling myself and reeling around,
Got me talking but feel like walking around.
Got me feeling myself and reeling a...
Got me talking but nothing's with me...
Got me feeling myself and reeling around.

It's amazing that with a 7% yield and and the Cole merger coming in weeks that this is below $18. The yield is very attractive and should at least give the share price downside protection.
Sentiment: Buy
doesn't this portfolio have a large percentage of 84 lumber stores. I have been surprised for about 20 years what keeps that firm in business. those sparse lots would be hard to redeploy if 84 lumber fades away. I want to get out of Cole II as soon as there is a way to do so
84 Lumber represents about 6.5% of SRC's annual rent (although Shopko provides the lion's share, around 30%). I'm not familiar with 84 Lumber, can you be more specific as to why you question their business model?
REIT's as a group are down around 11% from recent peaks, and SRC is down about 20%, not sure why. As it relates to the entire sector,I think the market's anticipation of higher interest rates because of Fed "tapering" is misplaced and temporary. Weakness in the economy will trump anything the Fed is doing over the longer term, and we still have a weak economy. REIT's and thus SRC should benefit as reality sets in, and interest rates begin to creep back downward (as they've done the last few trading days).
do you know when the merger is actually supposed to take place for Cole II owners? Thanks.
Speaking with Cole on Friday they are not saying publicly but with a wink wink I believe it is this week, they said first half of July 2013, that is ending tomorrow, do not be surprised if it is one day this week
Im a Cole investor and I believe its Aug or Sept.

Zika Virus
For More Zika Virus Information Click HERE.
Prevent seasonal Flu: Get Vaccinated!
Influenza (also known as the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus that infects the nose, throat, and lungs. It usually comes on suddenly, can cause mild to severe illness, with symptoms that can range from fever, chills, sore- throat, and cough to headaches, muscle or body aches, tiredness, and vomiting/diarrhea (this is more common in children than adults). Potential complications of the flu are pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus and ear infections. The flu also makes chronic health problems worse. These complications can be minor but some can advance to a life-threatening state and result in death. There have been 20 pediatric influenza-associated deaths in Texas during the 2012-2013 influenza season. Influenza can be prevented by getting a flu vaccine each year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone at least 6 months of age and older be vaccinated against the seasonal flu. The best way to prevent the flu from spreading is by getting an annual flu vaccine. Vaccines take about two weeks to take effect and provide protection against the influenza virus. To prevent spreading the flu remember to always cover all coughs and sneezes, wash hands often with soap and water, utilize hand sanitizer, and stay home if sick.
Where to get vaccinated?
You can get a flu vaccination at your doctor's office, local clinic/health department, pharmacy, urgent care, and many employers offer them annually.
Fort Bend County Clinical Health Services is providing flu vaccines for adults 19 and older for $15 and vaccines for uninsured children 18 years and under for $10. Fully insured children should see their physician for vaccine needs. Pregnant women should consult with their primary care physician first before seeking immunization services. Vaccines will be provided until supplies run out.
For more information call Clinical Health Services at 281-342-6414
For more information about the flu, prevention, and vaccination, visit the CDC's flu website at: http://www.cdc.gov/flu
The Department of Health & Human Services is Fort Bend County's principal agency for protecting the health of county residents and providing essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves. The Department includes seven subordinate departments, covering a wide spectrum of activities .

Does anyone know why; Chessbase and Fritz are not bundled together as 1 software with all features?
For instance, 1. uploading a database of your games, 2. keying it, 3. Sort it according to games lost as white playing ('insert desired position') 4. then use Rybka to analyse several of those games in human language.
These 5 steps require monotonous copy/paste and program switching.
I know there is a feature to 'pass this database to Fritz' in chessbase. But why the need for this? Just put the Training features in Chessbase. Also you cannot do much in Fritz database wize without Keys from Chessbase and MegaDatabase. Note: Fritz will save game analysis, although; not sure if this info also shows in chessbase without copy paste? Another improvement would be a note in Fritz in the 'database tab' highlighting that a Chessbase is needed to use this feature. And; an Icon on the ribbon of chessbase for a one click 'pass to fritz and install key' or 'pass to fritz and analyse game'.
My guess is that the percentage of people who need to use Chessbase with it's Megabase is much smaller than that of Fritz users. There is a greater demand for engines, and they need to be less expensive as there is much competition. On the other hand, databases are not all that common, so the price is relatively high. So from a marketing/sales perspective it does make sense to keep them as two separate products.
nice question and the answer is MONEY ALONE.there are tons of databases and free it is not a problem.it is not related with databese size or engines.it is money related.did you ever think chessbase did not have even analyze option like blunder check it is not that hard to add a little code to software for that.but no money money money.
There's a fritz engine within chessbase, isn't there? Mine has one - default kibitzer button in Chessbase 10 loads a Fritz 5.32 engine.
And I think you can add any other engine you have in (e.g. Houdini). I've never needed to buy Fritz as a standalone - additional engine power just isn't relevant for me.
Fritz can directly access the Chessbase data bases (and vice-versa) so there is no need to cut and paste. Also Chessbase does come with a Fritz engine (although not the latest).
Zombie thread.
of course chessbase has engine, we are not dicussing that ,i am saying chessbase does not have even blunder check like analyze FULL GAME not only one position,"they can merge two software in one" but they do not do it because of money alone
I used both SCID and the fritz/chessbase combo.
I forgot what a pain it can be having to "pass this game to Fritz" from chessbase for analysis. not only do you need to have 2 resources open you have to switch windows and remember where everything is

A good biography is more than a life story - it is a life with stories. For instance, if not for the recently published biography of James Wiley Magoffin, the founder of El Paso, we might never have known that Julius Caesar, George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, the Duke of Wellington and Admiral Lord Nelson once protected a party of marooned mariners on Matagorda Bay.
En route to Matamoras from New Orleans in 1821, Magoffin's vessel foundered on Texas' mid coast. The passengers included a character who had run a wax museum and apparently intended to set up another in Mexico. The ship's cargo held crates containing life-sized wax likenesses of Caesar, Washington, Napoleon, Nelson and others.
Fearful that cannibalistic Karankawas might look on the castaways as a culinary gift from the Gods, the captain of the ship had the survivors stand guard over a hastily constructed fortification.
Tiring of the duty, Magoffin had an idea: Why not supplement the guard with men who could stay on their feet without tiring? The owner of the works of wax protested, saying exposure to the elements would destroy his statues. A compromise resulted in the general and admirals - historical figures both literally and figuratively - being employed at night to help keep the shipwreck survivors safe until another sailing ship happened along and rescued them.
That anecdote is contained in W.H. Timmons' well-done biography of Magoffin, "James Wiley Magoffin: Don Santiago-El Paso Pioneer." Published by Texas Western Press, the 130-page softcover book sells for $18.
Another person brought to Texas by a shipwreck was Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca, the first Spaniard to trek across the region.
Donald E. Chipman and Harriett Denise Joseph have written a book that will be an important resource for anyone interested in Texas' Spanish colonial era, a period that covered almost three centuries. "Notable Men and Women of Spanish Texas" contains biographies of 15 important figures of the time, from de Vaca to the Margues de Rubi.
Published by the University of Texas Press, the 376-page book sells for $17.95 in paperback and $40 in hardcover.
One of the things de Vaca did on his journey across Texas was perform the first known surgical procedure, operating on one of the Indians who had captured his party.
Later, early-day Texas doctors made medical history and many of them made Texas history as well. Nineteen notable 19th century doctors are profiled in "Early Texas Physicians, 1830-1915," edited by retired Austin surgeon R. Maurice Hood with an introduction by T.R. Fehrenbach. Published by State House Press, the 294-page book sells for $39.95 in hardcover.
A doctor can do a lot for those with medical problems, but some problems require dollars and concrete, not scalpel and suture.
To understand the importance of Herman and George Brown, all that is necessary is to drive out Ranch Road 222 from Austin to Mansfield Dam. That dam created Lake Travis. More importantly, it helped tame the flood-prone Colorado River.
The construction firm of Brown and Root built that dam. Several books have been published on the Lower Colorado River Authority and the construction of Mansfield Dam and the others that created the chain of Highland Lakes, but "Builders: Herman and George R. Brown" by Joseph A. Pratt and Christopher J. Castaneda is the first biography of two brothers who helped shape modern Texas. The 326-page book from Texas A&M University Press ($36.95) is well-researched and written, an important contribution to the history of 20th century Texas.
Despite the importance of the LCRA today, not everyone agreed during its formative years that the authority and the dams it intended to build would be a good thing for Texas. One person who tried to block creation of the agency was a young Texas House member, Sarah T. Hughes.
Years later, as a federal judge, she was the official who administered the oath of office to Lyndon Johnson in Dallas a few hours after the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
A profile of Hughes is included in "Capitol Women: Texas Female Legislators, 1923-1999." Published by Eakin Press, the 328-page book sells for $45 in hardcover and $22.95 in paperback. The book, written by Nancy Baker Jones and Ruthe Winegarten, profiles 58 women who have served in the Texas Legislature.
Several of the women featured in this book went on to higher office, including Sarah Hughes. A federal judge is a powerful position, but depending on the person and place, the office of county judge can be almost as influential as the federal bench. Certainly that was the case in Zapata County when Manuel B. Bravo was county judge.
Sworn in on Jan. 1, 1937, Bravo held office for two decades. During that time, the man Judge Hughes would one day swear in as president was elected to the U.S. Senate, largely on the basis of ballots counted in South Texas. (To say "ballots cast" might or might not be historically correct.) Judge Bravo was a friend of Johnson and a major political boss in South Texas.
The judge's story is set for in a solid biography by J. Gilberto Quezada, "Border Boss: Manuel B. Bravos and Zapata County." Published by Texas A&M Press, the 291-page biography sells for $29.95. The book won a prestigious award earlier this year in San Antonio at the Texas Institute of Letters' annual banquet.
While Judge Bravo exercised political power, the Constitution he and other office holders must swear to uphold guarantees another potential source of power - freedom of religion.
Also from Texas A&M Press is a book profiling 11 other influential personages, "Jewish Stars in Texas: Rabbis and Their Work" by Hollace Ava Weiner. The 328-page book is available at $24.95.
Though Texas' Jewish population is small - only six-tenths of one percent - Texas has had some highly influential rabbis. One, Henry Cohen of Galveston, took on the Ku Klux Klan. Another, Levi Olan of Dallas, helped his city move beyond its reactionary image following the Kennedy assassination.
In her preface, Weiner observes, "So much has occurred; so little is recorded." Though she was referring specifically to Texas' Jewish history, those eight words underscore the importance of all biographies.

Cahokia Mounds
Cahokia Mounds, approximately 85 Native American earthworks in Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, SW Ill., near East St. Louis; largest group of mounds N of Mexico. Monks' Mound, a rectangular, flat-topped earthwork, 100 ft (30.5 m) high with a 17-acre (6.9-hectare) base, is named for Trappist monks who settled there in the early 19th cent. The people who constructed the mounds were village dwellers who lived in a fertile river-bottom area; their culture flourished from c.1300 to c.1700. The mounds constitute a national historic landmark.

MySQL Cluster NDB 7.2.14 is a new release of MySQL Cluster,
incorporating new features in the
NDB storage engine, and fixing
recently discovered bugs in previous MySQL Cluster NDB 7.2
development releases.
Obtaining MySQL Cluster NDB 7.2. MySQL Cluster NDB 7.2 source code and binaries can be obtained from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/.
This release also incorporates all bugfixes and changes made in previous MySQL Cluster releases, as well as all bugfixes and feature changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.5 through MySQL 5.5.34 (see Changes in MySQL 5.5.34 (2013-09-20)).
Functionality Added or Changed
Added the
ExtraSendBufferMemoryparameter for management nodes and API nodes. (Formerly, this parameter was available only for configuring data nodes.) See
ExtraSendBufferMemory(management nodes), and
ExtraSendBufferMemory(API nodes), for more information. (Bug #14555359)
TEXTcolumns are now reorganized by the
ALTER ONLINE TABLE ... REORGANIZE PARTITIONstatement. (Bug #13714148)
Performance: In a number of cases found in various locations in the MySQL Cluster codebase, unnecessary iterations were performed; this was caused by failing to break out of a repeating control structure after a test condition had been met. This community-contributed fix removes the unneeded repetitions by supplying the missing breaks. (Bug #16904243, Bug #69392, Bug #16904338, Bug #69394, Bug #16778417, Bug #69171, Bug #16778494, Bug #69172, Bug #16798410, Bug #69207, Bug #16801489, Bug #69215, Bug #16904266, Bug #69393)
Packaging: The MySQL Cluster installer for Windows provided a nonfunctional option to install debug symbols (contained in
*.pdbfiles). This option has been removed from the installer.Note
You can obtain the
*.pdbdebug files for a given MySQL Cluster release from the Windows
.ziparchive for the same release, such as
(Bug #16748308, Bug #69112)
Packaging: A fix has been made in this release correcting a number of issues found in some recent
MySQL-Cluster-serverRPM packages, including dependencies on the
mysql-serverpackage and conflicts with the
mysql-libspackage needed by other common applications. Platforms known to have been affected by these issues include CentOS 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and Oracle Linux 6. (Bug #14063590, Bug #14181419, Bug #65534)
Packaging: The MySQL Cluster Windows installer attempted to use the wrong path to the
my.inifile and the executables directory. (Bug #13813120, Bug #64510)
Trying to restore to a table having a
BLOBcolumn in a different position from that of the original one caused ndb_restore
--restore_datato fail. (Bug #17395298)
ndb_restore could abort during the last stages of a restore using attribute promotion or demotion into an existing table. This could happen if a converted attribute was nullable and the backup had been run on active database. (Bug #17275798)
DBUTILdata node block is now less strict about the order in which it receives certain messages from other nodes. (Bug #17052422)
The Windows error ERROR_FILE_EXISTS was not recognized by
NDB, which treated it as an unknown error. (Bug #16970960)
RealTimeSchedulerdid not work correctly with data nodes running ndbmtd. (Bug #16961971)
File system errors occurring during a local checkpoint could sometimes cause an LCP to hang with no obvious cause when they were not handled correctly. Now in such cases, such errors always cause the node to fail. Note that the LQH block always shuts down the node when a local checkpoint fails; the change here is to make likely node failure occur more quickly and to make the original file system error more visible. (Bug #16961443)
mysql_upgrade failed when upgrading from MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1.26 to MySQL Cluster NDB 7.2.13 when it attempted to invoke a stored procedure before the
mysql.proctable had been upgraded. (Bug #16933405)
References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #16226274.
The planned or unplanned shutdown of one or more data nodes while reading table data from the
ndbinfodatabase caused a memory leak. (Bug #16932989)
Maintenance and checking of parent batch completion in the
SPJblock of the
NDBkernel was reimplemented. Among other improvements, the completion state of all ancestor nodes in the tree are now preserved. (Bug #16925513)
DROP TABLEwhile
DBDIHwas updating table checkpoint information subsequent to a node failure could lead to a data node failure. (Bug #16904469)
In certain cases, when starting a new SQL node, mysqld failed with Error 1427 Api node died, when SUB_START_REQ reached node. (Bug #16840741)
Failure to use container classes specific
NDBduring node failure handling could cause leakage of commit-ack markers, which could later lead to resource shortages or additional node crashes. (Bug #16834416)
Use of an uninitialized variable employed in connection with error handling in the
DBLQHkernel block could sometimes lead to a data node crash or other stability issues for no apparent reason. (Bug #16834333)
A race condition in the time between the reception of a
execNODE_FAILREPsignal by the
QMGRkernel block and its reception by the
DBTCkernel blocks could lead to data node crashes during shutdown. (Bug #16834242)
CLUSTERLOGcommand (see Commands in the MySQL Cluster Management Client) caused ndb_mgm to crash on Solaris SPARC systems. (Bug #16834030)
The NDB Error-Reporting Utility (ndb_error_reporter) failed to include the cluster nodes' log files in the archive it produced when the
FILEoption was set for the parameter
LogDestination. (Bug #16765651)
References: See also: Bug #11752792, Bug #44082.
The LCP fragment scan watchdog periodically checks for lack of progress in a fragment scan performed as part of a local checkpoint, and shuts down the node if there is no progress after a given amount of time has elapsed. This interval, formerly hard-coded as 60 seconds, can now be configured using the
LcpScanProgressTimeoutdata node configuration parameter added in this release.
This configuration parameter sets the maximum time the local checkpoint can be stalled before the LCP fragment scan watchdog shuts down the node. The default is 60 seconds, which provides backward compatibility with previous releases.
You can disable the LCP fragment scan watchdog by setting this parameter to 0. (Bug #16630410)
Added the ndb_error_reporter options
--connection-timeout, which makes it possible to set a timeout for connecting to nodes,
--dry-scp, which disables scp connections to remote hosts, and
--skip-nodegroup, which skips all nodes in a given node group. (Bug #16602002)
References: See also: Bug #11752792, Bug #44082.
After issuing
START BACKUP, if
idWAIT STARTED
idhad already been used for a backup ID, an error caused by the duplicate ID occurred as expected, but following this, the
START BACKUPcommand never completed. (Bug #16593604, Bug #68854)
ndb_mgm treated backup IDs provided to
ABORT BACKUPcommands as signed values, so that backup IDs greater than 231 wrapped around to negative values. This issue also affected out-of-range backup IDs, which wrapped around to negative values instead of causing errors as expected in such cases. The backup ID is now treated as an unsigned value, and ndb_mgm now performs proper range checking for backup ID values greater than
MAX_BACKUPS(232). (Bug #16585497, Bug #68798)
When trying to specify a backup ID greater than the maximum allowed, the value was silently truncated. (Bug #16585455, Bug #68796)
The unexpected shutdown of another data node as a starting data node received its node ID caused the latter to hang in Start Phase 1. (Bug #16007980)
References: See also: Bug #18993037.
SELECT ... WHERE ... LIKEfrom an
NDBtable could return incorrect results when using
engine_condition_pushdown=ON. (Bug #15923467, Bug #67724)
NDBreceive thread waited unnecessarily for additional job buffers to become available when receiving data. This caused the receive mutex to be held during this wait, which could result in a busy wait when the receive thread was running with real-time priority.
This fix also handles the case where a negative return value from the initial check of the job buffer by the receive thread prevented further execution of data reception, which could possibly lead to communication blockage or configured
ReceiveBufferMemoryunderutilization. (Bug #15907515)
When the available job buffers for a given thread fell below the critical threshold, the internal multi-threading job scheduler waited for job buffers for incoming rather than outgoing signals to become available, which meant that the scheduler waited the maximum timeout (1 millisecond) before resuming execution. (Bug #15907122)
Under some circumstances, a race occurred where the wrong watchdog state could be reported. A new state name
Packing Send Buffersis added for watchdog state number 11, previously reported as
Unknown place. As part of this fix, the state numbers for states without names are always now reported in such cases. (Bug #14824490)
Creating more than 32 hash maps caused data nodes to fail. Usually new hashmaps are created only when performing reorganzation after data nodes have been added or when explicit partitioning is used, such as when creating a table with the
MAX_ROWSoption, or using
PARTITION BY KEY() PARTITIONS. (Bug #14710311)
When a node fails, the Distribution Handler (
DBDIHkernel block) takes steps together with the Transaction Coordinator (
DBTC) to make sure that all ongoing transactions involving the failed node are taken over by a surviving node and either committed or aborted. Transactions taken over which are then committed belong in the epoch that is current at the time the node failure occurs, so the surviving nodes must keep this epoch available until the transaction takeover is complete. This is needed to maintain ordering between epochs.
A problem was encountered in the mechanism intended to keep the current epoch open which led to a race condition between this mechanism and that normally used to declare the end of an epoch. This could cause the current epoch to be closed prematurely, leading to failure of one or more surviving data nodes. (Bug #14623333, Bug #16990394)
When performing an
INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATEon an
NDBtable where the row to be inserted already existed and was locked by another transaction, the error message returned from the
INSERTfollowing the timeout was Transaction already aborted instead of the expected Lock wait timeout exceeded. (Bug #14065831, Bug #65130)
When using dynamic listening ports for accepting connections from API nodes, the port numbers were reported to the management server serially. This required a round trip for each API node, causing the time required for data nodes to connect to the management server to grow linearly with the number of API nodes. To correct this problem, each data node now reports all dynamic ports at once. (Bug #12593774)
ndb_error-reporter did not support the
--helpoption. (Bug #11756666, Bug #48606)
References: See also: Bug #11752792, Bug #44082.
START BACKUP WAIT STARTEDwas run from the command line using ndb_mgm
-e), the client did not exit until the backup completed. (Bug #11752837, Bug #44146)
Formerly, the node used as the coordinator or leader for distributed decision making between nodes (also known as the
DICTmanager—see The DBDICT Block) was indicated in the output of the ndb_mgm client
SHOWcommand as the "master" node, although this node has no relationship to a master server in MySQL Replication. (It should also be noted that it is not necessary to know which node is the leader except when debugging
NDBCLUSTERsource code.) To avoid possible confusion, this label has been removed, and the leader node is now indicated in
SHOWcommand output using an asterisk (

Xarelto lawsuits are alleging that the manufacturer failed to warn about dangerous Xarelto side effects, including bloods clots, bleeding, and even stroke. Our law firm is currently working with experienced Xarelto lawyers across the country, who can file a claim on your behalf. There are no legal fees until you receive a settlement or award. Feel free to contact us online or call us toll-free for a free (no obligation) case evaluation 24/7.
Have You Suffered a Serious Side Effect After Taking Xarelto?
Read Below Why You May Have a Claim.
What is Xarelto?
Xarelto (rivaroxaban) is manufactured by Bayer but marketed by Johnson and Johnson's subsidiary; Janssen Pharmaceuticals. It is a prescription blood thinner and one of the first "direct Xa inhibitor" drugs taken orally. Its creators say that it is more convenient and safer than older blood thinners like Warfarin.
Unlike Warfarin, Xarelto does not require monthly monitoring for increased bleeding risk, allowing patients greater freedom by not requiring routine testing trips to the doctors. This medication is an anticoagulant which means it prevents blood from clotting. These types of medicines are often used to prevent or treat deep vein thrombosis, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary embolism, stroke, and other conditions.
However, there is no way to reverse the anticoagulant effect of this blood thinner in the case of a major bleeding event like gastrointestinal bleeding, cerebral bleeding, or intracranial bleeding. An experienced Xarelto lawyer can answer all your questions about this drug.
What Did The FDA Do About Xarelto?
- In July 2011, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially approved the medicine for sale on the market for a limited group of people. This included people who had knee or hip replacement surgery because they were considered to be at a higher risk of blood clotting.
- Later that year, in November 2011, Xarelto was approved for a larger group of people, including people with an abnormal heart rhythm, and was used to prevent stroke.
- Xarelto was later approved for general treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after a fast track regulatory review by the FDA.
Over 2 million people in the United States suffer from abnormal heart rhythm and other similar conditions that are treated with anticoagulants. These people are likely to purchase a drug like Xarelto to help control their disease. This means very successful sales for the manufacturer of the blood thinner, however there have been serious concerns regarding the safety of the product.
This drug was connected with the largest number of adverse events for the beginning of 2012 with approximately 356 reports of serious or fatal injury. If you or a loved one have experienced any side effects, it is important that you contact a qualified Xarelto lawyer to discuss your potential case.
What Are Xarelto Side Effects?
The most dangerous Xarelto side effect, like all blood thinners, is uncontrollable bleeding. Blood thinning drugs have also been associated with bleeding complications. For example, Xarelto patients take the medicine either once or twice a day. The effects of the drug last 8-12 hours and the body's activity does not return to normal until after 24 hours. This means that if a patient suffers a serious bleeding event, the drug may continue to prevent normal clotting for hours. Other side effects include:
- Blood clots
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Spinal bleeding
- Intracranial bleeding
- Epidural bleeding
- Cerebral bleeding
- Stroke
According to FDA reports, during the first quarter of 2012, blood clots accounted for nearly half of the adverse events associated with Xarelto. If you have suffered from Xarelto side effects, it is important that you speak with a Xarelto lawyer who can file a Xarelto lawsuit on your behalf.
What Are The Medical Studies About Xarelto?
The FDA has received a number of adverse event reports regarding Xarelto and medical studies have examined the safety of this drug:
- In September 2011, the New England Journal of Medicine published the ROCKET-AF study, which compared Xarelto to Warfarin in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation. This was the biggest clinical trial of this medication and it compared the effects of Xarelto to the effects of a similar drug known as Warfarin in over 14,000 patients. The study concluded that "there was not significant between-group difference in the risk of major bleeding."
- In June 2012, an FDA advisory panel voted against approving this medicine for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome.
- Later that same year, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) issued its QuarterWatch report based on FDA data from the first quarter of 2012. During this period, the FDA received 356 adverse event reports of Xarelto side effects including "serious, disabling, or fatal injury." Additionally, 158 reports indicated blood clots were the serious side effect.
- More recently, in February 2013, the New England Journal of Medicine published the results of the MAGELLAN study, which found that Xarelto may carry an increased risk of bleeding.

Timeline of Xarelto Lawsuits and Events:
- September 28, 2012 – There was a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, that discussed the risk of uncontrollable bleeding outweighing the benefits for several different blood thinners including Xarelto. The researchers in this study found that there was a tripled risk of bleeding among the patients, who were given the drug, and no improvement in overall survival rates.
- October 4, 2013 – It was reported that Xarelto was linked to as many as 968 adverse events, including 72 deaths in the year 2013. It was also associated with alarming numbers in the year 2012 with 750 adverse events including 58 deaths.
- November 25, 2013 – Researchers from Medscape found Xarelto is associated with a higher risk of bleeding in certain patients. It caused a nearly 3-fold increase of the risk of bleeding in "acutely ill patients" and 4-fold increased risk of major bleeding in patients that had "Acute Coronary Syndrome" (ACS).
- May 7, 2014 – A Xarelto lawsuit was filed against Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer after a woman. The wrongful death suit alleged that the manufacturer "fervently marketed" and "had no regard to the accuracy and misrepresentation of their misleading marketing," stressing that unlike other blood thinners, Xarelto doesn't have a cure to stop uncontrollable bleeding in emergency situations.
- June 17, 2014 – Bayer announced that a number of Xarelto lawsuits have been filed alleging that the blood thinning drug has been linked to numerous severe bleeding events and deaths. Plaintiffs in these cases allege that the makers failed to adequately warn the public that the drug had no antidote, and in an emergency a doctor could struggle to reverse the blood thinning effects.
- June 26, 2014 – Another Xarelto lawsuit filed against Janssen Pharmaceuticals by the wife of a man, who bled to death after taking the medication. He had begun to take the blood thinner in January 2012 to treat atrial fibrillation. After taking the prescription for several months he developed uncontrollable bleeding in his brain, which contributed to his death. The lawsuit alleges that Janssen failed to warn that Xarelto can cause uncontrollable bleeding and there is no cure.
- July 29, 2014 – A Vermont woman filed a wrongful death suit against Janssen, alleging that Janssen concealed the safety risks and failed to properly test it before marketing it to the public. The woman's husband was taking the blood thinner for about a month when he developed bleeding in the brain which ultimately contributed to his death.
- August 12, 2014 – Another Xarelto lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York by a woman from Texas who developed severe bleeding after taking the medication for just five months.
- August 21, 2014 – An additional lawsuit was filed against Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer alleging that Xarelto caused a 92 year-old man to bleed to death last year.
- October 22, 2014 – The FDA issued a recall for approximately 13,500 bottles of Xarelto after receiving a customer complaint about contamination in a sales sample.
- December 5, 2014 – There are 50 Xarelto lawsuits pending in 15 district courts. Bayer AG and Johnson & Johnson oppose efforts to centralize the growing litigation.
- December 15, 2014 – There are now dozens of lawsuits involving Xarelto in a Multi-District Litigation.
- January 12, 2015 – An antidote may have been discovered by Portola Pharmaceuticals for Xarelto. A late-stage clinical trial of the intravenous medication, andexanet alfa, met its goal of "immediately and significantly" reversing Xarelto.
- January 22, 2015 – 75 lawsuits involving the blood-thinning drug Xarelto will be centralized in a mass-tort in Philadelphia.
- February 17, 2015 – Twelve attorneys have been appointed by the federal judge overseeing the Xarelto lawsuits.
How is Xarelto Like Pradaxa?
There were countless deaths and serious uncontrollable bleeding events, among other side effects, linked to the popular prescription drug thinner Pradaxa, which is similar to Xarelto.
As of September 2014, there are approximately 2500 pending Pradaxa lawsuits, and many victims have received compensation for their injuries after taking this medication. This drug may already be on the same treacherous path that Pradaxa has taken. There have already been many deaths and serious bleeding events linked to Xarelto. Just like victims in the Pradaxa cases, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Injuries are often caused by these types of medicines because the drugs were either defectively designed or the patient was not adequately warned about the drug's dangers, like in the case of Pradaxa. Anyone who has been injured by this drug should talk to an experienced Xarelto lawyer about filing a lawsuit to receive compensation.
Why Contact Us?
If you or a loved one has suffered from serious side effects from Xarelto, you should talk to an experienced lawyer about your legal options. You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, or other losses. We are working with some of the more experienced Xarelto Lawyers, who handle these cases.

What's The Best Android Phone of 2016 So Far?
This year could not have been more different, though. Innovation went through the roof with every man and his dog coming to the space with heavily updated, vastly superior offerings to the year before. Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG and Huawei have all been on fine form, releasing excellent hardware that makes last year's gear look practically remedial. So what are the best Android phones we've reviewed so far? Glad you asked: Here's KYM's pick of the best Android phones of 2016 so far.
Secure Desktops with Qubes: Introduction
This is the first in a multipart series on Qubes OS, a security-focused operating system that is fundamentally different from any other Linux desktop I've ever used and one I personally switched to during the past couple months. In this first article, I provide an overview of what Qubes is, some of the approaches it takes that are completely different from what you might be used to on a Linux desktop and some of its particularly interesting security features. In future articles, I'll give more how-to guides on installing and configuring it and how to use some of its more-advanced features.
What is Ubuntu?
The open source community is packed full of intriguing projects and companies, so much so that even the biggest of proprietary vendors have moved to embrace it. Ubuntu is one of those open source projects that has developed a wide-spread following. Ubuntu is an open source Linux distribution based on Debian, which is a freely available operating system that uses the Linux kernel. Initially developed for personal computers, it has developed to being used on servers, and smartphones. Development of Ubuntu is led by Canonical, a UK based company that was founded by Mark Shuttleworth.
Hands-on with Ubuntu MATE 16.04 on the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3
To put things into a fair perspective, keep in mind that we are talking about a computer that costs $25 or so and can be used with a display, keyboard and mouse which a lot of people are going to have on hand already. That means for a very small amount of money, you can have a very nice computer running one of the most popular Linux distributions. Some people (including me) might argue that there are really not many (or any) significant advantages of Ubuntu MATE over Raspbian, but even I can't deny that MATE looks more polished, and if you are accustomed to Ubuntu in general or MATE in particular, then this distribution is the way to go.

OSU football: New assistant coach Bob Connelly faces quick challenge
New Cowboys assistant coach Bob Connelly hopes to catch his breath...soon.
Connelly's been in a rush since arriving in Stillwater in February.
New city.
New job.
All new faces.
Instant pressure, too, since outside of perhaps only defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer, Connelly faces OSU's most pressing "To Do": rebuilding the offensive line.
"It's been a whirlwind," Connelly said. "There's so much going on, obviously. We're trying to put in an offensive game plan. I'm coming in trying to learn a whole new offensive scheme, terminology, all those things. Trying to stay one step ahead of the players...trying to evaluate our current players. And then as we all know, with the speed of recruiting and year-round recruiting, I'm trying to evaluate our 2015 and even some '16 kids."
It would have been nice if Connelly had joined Mike Gundy's staff finding five fifth-year senior starters ready along the offensive front for an Aug. 30 date with defending national champion Florida State. Instead, he inherits an overhaul, with but one lineman – senior Daniel Koenig – owning more than eight career starts.
Guard Chris Grisbhy, who started eight games as a junior college transfer a year ago, gives OSU another senior up front. Otherwise, the depth chart is dominated by freshmen and sophomores.
If senior Brandon Garrett and junior Devin Davis return to form off major injuries, the line gets a boost in experience and quality. But for now, Connelly is leaning on a starting group that includes sophomore Paul Lewis at center, sophomore Zac Veatch at a guard and true freshman Zachary Crabtree at right tackle. The key backups are sophomore Michael Wilson and redshirt freshman Jesse Robinson.
That's a lot of pups for a unit that prides itself equally for its versatility in excelling at both run and pass blocking.
"We've got a young group," Connelly said. "We've got some inexperienced kids. But for the most part, their hearts are in the right place. They come and work each and every day. We're making progress.
"And that's the only thing I ask these guys, 'Come out here each and every day and everything we do is with a purpose. We don't come to practice to get through practice. We don't go to the weight room to get through the workout. We come with a mindset to get better.'"
The good news – Connelly likes the upside of the younger players. Crabtree, a 6-foot-7, 290-pound first-year player from Mansfield, Texas, has been one of the pleasant surprises of the spring.
"I really, really like the kid," Connelly said. "I think he's got a bright future. He's got all the intangibles. He's got a great work ethic. He got a great mindset. He asks great questions. He's incredibly motivated for a young kid; he's further along than you think maturation wise. Very, very mature for his age."
The players seem to like Connelly as well, which is a key factor in developing a solid and cohesive unit.
Joe Wickline was the longest-tenured assistant of the Gundy era before he bolted for Texas, seeking a change. And Wickline's record of producing formidable fronts is impressive.
Still, a fresh look can be good for both sides.
"They say change is a good thing," said Koenig, who reminds that his two brothers, both OSU linemen before him, worked under multiple coaches. "This change is a good thing. You can see it out here. We're breaking good runs and whatever."
Connelly is tweaking techniques and steps, while also relieving pressure on the tackles, who were regularly left on their own out on the edge, but now get more double-team help from the guards. It might not make for the sexiest story of OSU's spring camp, what with Tyreek Hill and Jhajuan Seales and the quarterbacks sparking conversations, but building a line is of vital importance.
"It's a work in process," Connelly said. "Things are starting to slow down now, having been here six weeks and having three weeks of spring practice under our belt. I'm kind of getting a better feel for where we are and where we need to be."

Baseball Sweeps at Dome
This past weekend was a hit for the Huskies as they were able to sweep both double headers defeating the Wayne State Wildcats Saturday and the University of Minnesota-Duluth Sunday. On Saturday Saint Cloud was able to keep the Wildcats offense silent with Saint Cloud winning 5-0 in game one and 8-1 in game two. The Huskies received a tremendous effort from Scott Lieser throwing a seven innings shutout using just 67 pitches while striking out six batters. It was the Husky bats jumping to a 3-0 lead in the first inning with all the runs in that inning coming with 2 outs. Both Eric Loxtercamp and Steve Rindelaub had triples in the game.
In game number two it was again a great effort from all aspects. Senior Captain Phil Imholte reached base four times, stealing two bases and also adding two runs. Garrett Fischer added two hits, with Karl Sorensen adding an RBI triple as well. It was Kyle Fischer on the bump for game two pitching five innings allowing just two hits and one run with four strikeouts. Saint Cloud out scored Wayne State 13-1 in the double header.
On Sunday night Saint Cloud took on the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs in a double header with the Huskies winning 5-0 in the first one and won a tight one in game two 3-1. In game 1 Junior Chris Kubitz was dynamite, pitching five shutout innings striking out seven batters and allowing just three hits. Karl Sorensen drove in two runners and Sean Boreman added two hits with an RBI in the contest as well.
Game two of the series was a nail biter, as it was the Bulldogs getting on the board in the bottom of the first inning. Jimmy Hook of the bulldogs drove in John Meyer for the games first run. UMD held the lead with Kyle Fritz of UMD holding the husky bats quiet as Saint Cloud only registered one hit in the first four innings. After the Bulldogs handed it over to their bullpen, the Huskies took advantage of the ineffective pen of UMD using six different pitchers to finish the final three innings. In the fifth inning it was Mike Jurgella leading things off with a double, after both of the two husky batters were retired. Saint Cloud continued its two out magic and after walks to both Garret Fischer and Phil Imholte, the bases were loaded for Eric Loxtercamp who was able to drive in both Jurgella and Fichser. However the inning ended with Imholte being tagged out at third. Cory Fitzgerald started the game on the mound in game two allowing just one run in his four innings of work. But it was the work of Reese Gregory out of the bullpen that was the story for Saint Cloud. He pitched three innings of shutout baseball striking out four batters. Duluth was able to load the bases in the last half of the seventh but Gregory kept it cool and was able to get John Meyer of Duluth to fly out to left to end the game. Saint Cloud is now 6-1 on the season and is back at Mall of America field this Saturday against division one, University of North Dakota first pitch is at 7:45am.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
