BMW Group recently announced several changes coming to its senior management teams in Canada and the United States.
Chairman and CEO of BMW Group Region Americas, Ludwig Willisch, broke news of the planned departure of Eduardo Villaverde, President and CEO of BMW Group Canada. Villaverde first joined BMW Group in 1995, ascended to serve as CEO of BMW Spain, and transferred to this leadership role at BMW's Ontario-based Canadian subsidiary in 2011.
Hans Blesse will replace Villaverde as President and CEO of BMW Group Canada, effective by the beginning of June. Blesse has served as vice president of New Jersey-based BMW Motorrad USA since 2012, and his career with BMW spans 27 years, throughout which he has achieved success in sales, marketing, aftersales and training in subsidiary divisions across the globe.
Kris Odwarka succeeded Blesse on May 13, and assumes responsibility for motorcycle sales and marketing in the United States. Odwarka has served as regional aftersales manager, Southern Region, since February 2013, and began his career with BMW as a sales trainer for BMW of North America in 1992.
"I want to thank Eduardo for his years of service to BMW Group and we all wish him well in his new endeavors," said Willisch. "For Hans Blesse, his new role in Canada will be a homecoming of sorts and I know he will do well in our very important Canadian market. Kris Odwarka has a great passion for motorcycles and he is excited about leading BMW Motorrad and we are expecting great results."

In what has to be one of the most devastating days in Northwestern history, All-American RB Venric Mark announced he will transfer and WR Christian Jones suffered a season ending injury in practice.
Mark's transfer comes just a day after telling the Chicago Tribune's Teddy Greenstein ". When I get back, I expect us to be 2-0. I'm going to hit the ground running.". He was suspended for the first two games of the season over the weekend. Mark has not announced his intended destination. He did mention that he wants to be closer to home. Mark is from Texas.
Jones led Northwestern with 54 receptions for 668 yards and four touchdowns last season.
Per Greenstein, Pat Fitzgerald will meet with the media after practice on Thursday in Kenosha and said about Mark's departure.
"(It is) a difficult day for our football family and, most importantly, for Venric. We love him, and there is no doubt that we're going to miss him as both a person and player. But this is unquestionably what is best for Venric and those closest to him."
Jones is expected to take a redshirt season and return in 2015.
Treyvon Green and Stephen Buckley should get the majority of the carries at running back. Green led the Wildcats with 736 yards and eight touchdowns last year. Buckley had 273 yards and a touchdown.
The Wide Receiving core is not as deep as having Green and Buckley. Tony Jones 55 receptions led NU last season and his 630 yards were second to Christian Jones. He also had four touchdowns. He and superback Dan Vitale are the most experienced returnees in the passing game with CJones out.
No other returnees had more than 11 receptions for NU last season. Cameron Dickerson and former Parade All-American Kyle Prater are the most likely to receive the chance to replace Christian Jones.

Thus far in our introductory Django tutorial, we've installed the open-source Django framework, set up a blog and beefed it up by adding some extras like semantic content tags, some handy template tags and a list of our bookmarks from delicious.com. If you haven't been following along, now would be a good time to go back to Lesson 1 and catch up.
However, what we've created is not much different than what one could do with WordPress or another out-of-the-box blogging tool. That's OK for a learning project. But now we're getting close to being experts, we are going to explore some territory beyond what we can do with pre-built tools.

Morning Psalm: 88 | Evening Psalm: 27
Lamentations 3:37-58 | Romans 8:1-11 | Hebrews 4:1-16
Lamentations 3:37-58 | Romans 8:1-11 | Hebrews 4:1-16
"Do you work wonders for the dead?...
Are your wonders known in the darkness?" (Ps 88:10a, 12a)
Are your wonders known in the darkness?" (Ps 88:10a, 12a)
Jesus dies with a cry of deepest anguish. And then the drama leaves us with the echoes of His agony staining our ears as we sit in the darkness and wait. We wait in silence and wonder for the morning song. But will it come?
Sometimes life runs so dry that the engine block of our soul cracks and we can only watch ourselves bleed. But the psalms teach us how to ache for the Kingdom and mourn and hope, because some days that is all we can do. Wait, bleed, hope—for ourselves and others. Perhaps we would like to live under the guise that we can build God's Kingdom and fix the world. But can we raise the dead? Can we even keep ourselves from dying? We are infants in our Father's arms, and unless He acts we are dead—because the engine block of the world we were born into has cracked.
But this is our greatest place of rest. It is in our darkest moments that we become most alive to the God who renews the irreversible brokenness of our lives. Suffering becomes salvation in the hands of God—and we are pregnant with the resurrection even now. Soon we will see that we have borne a most beautiful thing, because our Lord will take what seemed like senseless agony and turn it into fruitful labor pangs. And He is doing it now.
The more empty we are, He is all that more abundant to fill us until abundant life overflows from our most broken moments. The morning song rises gently from our grateful hearts as the darkness begins to recede. And it recedes now.
Lord Jesus Christ, son of the Living God, have mercy on us whom You so radically pursue, even to the grave. Teach us to taste the fruits of Your goodness and be consumed with Your beauty in the darkness as we wait. And as we rejoice in You, make us the light of the world we so desperately long to be. We ask this in Your name, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to the glory of the Father. Amen.

If I get bored with the topic, surely the student will as well – so I try to keep as fresh and up to date as humanly possible."
Tell us a little bit about yourself:
"I have always been a bit of a ham. In high school I was very involved in our school plays – I had to be on stage; teaching gives me the opportunity to be 'on stage' again, while giving the students something they can take with them…they learn and maybe get a bit of a laugh now and again. Travel is a passion, whenever possible you may find me in Italy, France or anywhere else in Europe – the experience of 'getting lost' in a foreign country is exhilarating for me personally – I find the challenge of communicating with the locals, and experiencing their city on their terms so much more rewarding than just viewing the 'sites'."
What is your experience in the industry?
"I have over 20 years of retail experience. After graduate school, I decided to go back to retail and started on the floor in Macy's. I was promoted every year for the five years I worked for Macy's – sales, to manager, to Assistant Buyer, in Better & Contemporary Dresses to Associate Buyer, Better & Contemporary Dresses, to Merchandise Manager, 3rd & 6th floor – Union Square. After leaving Macy's, I left retail for a few years only to return again as a manager at Neiman Marcus. I was the dress manager for 11 years and in those 11 years also managed: Designer Coats, St. John, Contemporary Sportswear & Bridge Sportswear."
Describe a favorite class project:
"In Management Strategies, the first day of class, students are divided into teams and given a task (typically geared to marketing and or management). They must pull one item each (as a team) from their book bag, handbag or whatever. They must use these items to solve their problem. The students never fail to impress me with their ideas or ways of thinking."
What do you enjoy most about teaching at FIDM?
"Working with the students. Researching the course and educating myself so I can be fresh and add something different to the class each quarter. If I get bored with the topic, surely the student will as well – so I try to keep as fresh and up to date as humanly possible."

"Talker 25" by Joshua McCune takes the reader to a world where dragons live. They arrived on Earth fifteen years ago and no one, even the dragons, know why or from where they came.
There were some "misunderstandings" when they first arrived, and many humans were killed. Now the dragons are all considered dangerous and are hunted and studied by the government -- which is determined to eradicate them from the face of the earth.
Melissa lives with her father and brother in a town with a dragon "reservation," where they are kept. While sneaking in with some friends one night, she mysteriously hears a voice talking to her. It turns out that Melissa is a "dragon talker," or someone with whom dragons can communicate.
The government wants to arrest her as a dragon sympathizer -- there are groups of humans who help dragons fight the government. They are called sympathizers. Melissa ends up in their camp and meets a special dragon, a silver dragon. The dragon is a baby and befriends Melissa.
Other dragons in the camp are blue and red. It turns out that the green dragons are the unpredictable ones who love the taste of human flesh.
There are many, many plot twists and characters but the book is well-written and compelling. At times, it's very difficult to read as McCune creates scenes where the government forces Melissa and other captives to torture and kill the dragons they capture. Much of the book is spent with Melissa in government custody, and those scenes are horrible and graphic. Are they needed? Their purpose, one might surmise, is to get the reader's emotions roused against the government and the horrors the men who work for it are perpetrating.
Toward the end of the book, it becomes apparent that this is just the first book in a series. The ending is satisfying -- a bit -- but leaves the reader wanting to know what comes next.
Criticism of the book includes the fact that character development is sacrificed for plot advancement and action. That may be the case, but the only real suffering I felt was that of the dragons in government custody. I felt the important characters were developed enough to make the plot exciting and fascinating.
I didn't want to put this down. I want to read the next book -- now.

Man, I Would Live In That: Giant AT-AT Cathouse
This is a giant AT-AT cathouse built for some lucky-ass cat who probably doesn't even do anything but sleep all day. Jesus, why can't that be my life? I'd be great at licking my genitals in front of company AND shitting everywhere but the litterbox. The interior of the cathouse even has some bird-head hunting trophies and a little bar (picture after the jump). Wait -- A BAR?! Okay, now I'm f***ing jealous. Which gives me an idea... "Make a cat costume and go door to door until somebody adopts you?" Meow.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the Fancy Feast, here I come!
Thanks to mud, Geoff and Bradley, who haven't built anything for their girlfriend's cats but a tolerance.

Technical Analysis: Nikkei Wave Counts Point to Pullback
Garrett Patten
Elliott Wave analysis tells us to expect a pullback in the Nikkei 225 futures before the next move higher.
Elliott Wave analysis tells us to expect a pullback in the
Nikkei 225
(INDEXNIKKEI:NI225) futures before the next move higher.
After last week's clean break out of the multimonth triangle, the Nikkei has been cooperating well with our expectations. Since tagging the 1.236 extension of wave 1, price pulled back to just below the 1.00 extension at 15100, and now is sitting right at the 1.382 extension at 15,520. According to the last weekend update, this is the path that the slightly more bullish blue count was suggested to take, where wave iii of 3 would top at the 1.382 extension.
Under this count, price should now pull back to the 1.00 extension at 15,100 again to complete wave iv of 3, and the turn back up to target the 1.764 extension at 15935 to complete wave v of 3. However, the price pattern off the November 18 low at the 1.00 extension does not quite seem complete yet, suggesting that the next Fibonacci level higher at 15,775 may be targeted early this week, and this minor trend channel that has formed off that low will hold.
If that does happen, then it is suggestive of the red count, which simply places price a little bit further along in the pattern, with this next high completing wave v of 3. After wave v of 3 completes in the red count, we should see a reasonably lengthy corrective consolidation in red wave 4, which should slowly make its way back to the 1.00 extension at 15100 in 3 waves, before setting up the final push to new yearly highs.
As for the Euro STOXX 50, before the decline early last week, the STOXX has a similar potential ending diagonal as the
(INDEXDB:DAX), except price fell substantially out of the minor trend channel that should have held for wave iv in that ED. Therefore, although the ED pattern, shown in blue, is still technically possible since it did not invalidate, the more likely outcome at this point appears to be the red count, which places price currently in a wave 4 correction targeting 2985 ideally.
Wave 4 of the red count looks like it is tracing out as a complex correction, in which price should be in the middle of a y-wave. Since y-waves are three wave events, this current bounce should be a minor b-wave, which can still reach a little bit higher to roughly 3070, but should turn back down soon in a minor c-wave towards the 2895 target to complete.

Dual OS installation
View Single Post
Newbie Member
Hi Kalpana,
this is my experience and I can ensure you that Linux and windows can work together in a same PC, without harming each other.
For the better way do following->
1- Install Windows( say XP) first on your PC.
2-Make the partitions of your HDD with the file system FAT or NTFS( whatever u like) and leave some space free on your hard disk without any file system( this partition will not be logical and hence not the part of your XP).
you can do it by
control panel--> administrators tool->computer management->storage->disk management
in your windows. (select any partition in which you want to install linux and make it free space).
3-then dear, smoothly insert the CD of linux into yours CD ROM and linux will automatically detect the free space( In case it doesn't do this, it will ask for the free space so you should select the option free space.....).
within half an hour u will enjoy both the os.
But your boot menu will be in linux environment now. if you want to delete the linux from your pc go in the drive( which is free space in windows, by above described path) and format the drive.
I have done this with
Red Hat Linux, Fedora Linux. and Mendrake too.
mendrake can be easily mounted with the windows( u can listen the songs of SHAKIRA stord in windows drive in mendrake without switching the os)

Students may seek help for a variety of personal concerns and other emotional issues. Sometimes life events can be overwhelming. C&DS can be a good resource to help students cope and build resilience.
Common Reasons
Is my problem too small to talk about with a counselor?
Student concerns are important. Many students experience adjustment issues at some point during college and would benefit from meeting with a counselor. Often one or two consultations regarding situational concerns can make a big difference. Not all problems require ongoing counseling.
Disability Services
C&DS provides academic accommodations for students with disabilities. If you have a disability or suspect one exists, contact C&DS for an appointment. Community referrals for testing and treatment are available if needed.

Muslim Brotherhood ready to challenge UK investigation
The Muslim Brotherhood has called on UK officials to stop its review of the Islamist organization's activities after British premier David Cameron called for a probe into the Brotherhood's activities earlier this week, according to Reuters.
In a statement released this week, the Brotherhood announced that it would challenge the British court in "any improper attempt to restrict its activity."
"It is important that the British government does not bend to pressure from foreign governments who are concerned about their own people's quest for democracy," the statement released by the Brotherhood's press office in London said.
The statement was also critical of Cameron's decision to appoint the UK's ambassador to Saudi Arabia as the leader of the probe, given the fact that KSA declared the Brotherhood a terrorist organization earlier this year.
"It is hard to see how Sir John Jenkins will be able to conduct an independent internal review of the Muslim Brotherhood and carry his brief as Ambassador to a non-democratic regime that is openly in political opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood," read the statement.
The Brotherhood also urged the UK to "consider the serious human rights abuses conducted by the military regime in Egypt," particularly in reference to the government's crack down on Brotherhood members or supporters of the formerly ousted Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi.
Many Brotherhood-influenced organizations are based in the UK.

The U.S. Department of Education has been advocating for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education in schools for several years now for the primary reason of filling the pipeline of qualified candidates to later enter the growing engineering fields.
In the 2013-2014 school year, the federal government allocated $3.1 billion in STEM programs and incentives, mostly at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Despite these enormous investments, according to current market growth trends, only 16% of college graduates are expected to obtain STEM degrees in 2020.
So what's wrong with the STEM push, and why isn't the U.S. getting its bang for its buck?
While there is a market need to fill engineering positions to encourage national competitiveness in a global economy that's increasingly driven by breakthroughs in technology and engineering, pushing heavy technical engineering curricula on students may not be optimal for increasing future job considerations in the field.
First, let's clarify what "STEM" actually means.
Science and math (the "S" and "M" in STEM) emphasis over the other content areas has perhaps been beaten to death by now. PISA scores ranking the U.S. unimpressively around the 50th percentile (among all OECD nations) is old news, and there are already saturated markets for math and science curricula, intervention programs, and support materials. Science and math instruction are not new to schools.
What "STEM" signifies, then, is that science and math are tools to apply to the field of engineering, which ultimately produces new technology.
"STEM" isn't a term--it's a formula.
I propose an alternative, clearer policy push.
What if, instead of advocating for either hazy STEM or overly technical engineering curricula down students' throats, schools integrated a time where students regularly practiced the art of problem-solving for real-life scenarios using the natural concepts, which happen to be the maths and sciences?
What if, instead of forcing students and teachers to memorize engineering-specific concepts and terms, we naturally encourage people to enter the field by inspiring interests in building, problem-solving, collaborating in teams, and engaging in the iterative design process?
What I propose is using engineering as a basic mechanism to deliver 21st century-relevant skills such as designing, iterating, and working in teams to devise creative solutions to real-world problems. Math and science will naturally support the invention of student technology, as long as teachers require specificity in projects. This way, engineering would be a project-driven space that allows students to express curiosity and satisfy their natural desires to create. I'd expect this would be a much more successful alternative to inspiring later career interests in engineering, rather than forcing overly-technical, advanced engineering concepts onto students', and untrained teachers', laps.
What are your thoughts on STEM?

Thirty seven human service agencies drew a crowd of more than 400 to Saturday's People In Need Forum at McHenry County College.
There are far more than 400 "people in need" in the County, of course. The 400 were just some of the people whose job it is to help them and the forum was a way to get the word to the pros about what sort of help is available and where to get it.
"We knew we'd have at least 100 more people this year (than last)," said Forum organizer Lori Belzer. "The need is there," she said. "That's why these people are here."

Bath Salts Suspect Still On Lam Wednesday
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on May 15, 2013 @ 7:42PM
Created on May 15, 2013 @ 1:34PM
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - The hunt for a Clarksburg man charged with selling illegal bath salts continues, and authorities say the public can help.
Anyone with information about 57-year-old John Skruck should call the U.S. Marshals Service at (304) 623-0486.
Skruck is formerly from Texas. He's white, 5-foot-9 and 200 pounds, with long, gray-brown hair and a beard.
Prosecutors say Skruck failed to return Monday from an approved out-of-town trip.
A warrant was issued for his arrest Tuesday, the day his federal trial on drug charges was set to begin.
U.S. District Judge Irene Keeley says the trial will continue this week if Skruck is captured by Wednesday afternoon.
If not, she'll reschedule for early September.
Skruck ran the Hot Stuff Cool Things stores in Buckhannon and Clarksburg before authorities raided them last April.

Once we're in our bunks upstairs, I pull out my embossed leather journal. A dried flower falls out, conjuring the Italian hillside where Pete presented it to me. The entry, dated July 17, 1979, reads, We drank from a crystal stream, smelled the wildflowers and lied [sic] in the grass for hours and I knew, really knew in my heart, things I never knew before: I want to have children, I really love my home and that living near my parents would be really fantastic . . .
Who wrote that? I love children, but, discovering how much I loved traveling and my work, first in film and then as a writer, I chose to stick with being an aunt, not a mother. I don't regret that, but I also know I've missed something wonderful. I do regret that my parents don't live near me in New York City—but not that I don't live near their home in suburban Detroit, where I grew up. I close the journal, a little wistful about paths not taken, and look up at the bunk over mine. I wonder what my niece's life will be like and if she's having a good time on this trip. As if to answer my thoughts, Ava's blond hair cascades from the bunk and she whispers, "Hey, tomorrow we cross into Italy!"
Seven valleys, 400 summits and more than 40 bluish-white glaciers make the Tour du Mont Blanc one of the most splendid and popular hikes in Europe. In 1979, we didn't meet any other Americans on our hutte-to-hutte trek, which made us feel thrillingly far from home. Today, on a grassy slope, as Ava and I eat a picnic lunch of local cheese, saucisson and fruit, we meet a group from New York that includes a woman who ran a MORE marathon and another whose friend teaches at Ava's high school. The world's gotten much smaller. And harder to escape, as the occasional annoying chirp of a cell phone reminds me.
But a few hours east, at the Col de la Seigne, there is nothing twenty-first century about the high, windswept border crossing: no customs, no authorities, no flags, only a humble granite brick stuck in the boot-flattened earth with an F (for France) on one side and an I (for Italy) on the other. Too bad all borders can't be this open—and astonishingly beautiful. At this pass, 8,255 feet up, we're sitting on top of the world, and the dark green, blue and spiky mountains look like the white-capped waves of an infinite, stormy sea. Mont Blanc's personality has changed too: From Chamonix, it was serene and regal; now it's wilder, more volcanic, especially compared with the vast, verdant Vallon de la Lée Blanche below.
"Do you see that col?" Florence says. Our eyes follow her pole to the end of the valley where a saddle, or pass, appears between two skyscraping peaks. "That's the Grand Col Ferret, where we'll cross into Switzerland. We'll be there in two days."
"Four," Ava says, "unless my aunt starts walking faster."
"I can't walk fast and impart wisdom at the same time," I say. This threat makes Ava run down the ravine toward the sound of cowbells clanging in the high pastures of the Val Veni. By the time I catch up with her, skidding down scree and slate chips, my left knee has had enough. Huge dairy cows plod alongside us and I think, gosh, too bad you can't ride a cow. Downhill is harder than it was when I last walked this path. But Ava loves it. She'd like it to be all downhill.
"That would be boring," I begin, as we step inside our night's lodge, welcomed by the onion and garlic steam from spaghetti Bolognese. "It's the uphills in life that make the downhills feel so sweet." She doesn't buy it.
I freeze. Utterly unchanged, the dining room of the Rifugio Elisabetta is a portal to 1979: There I am with puffy cheeks and a bad perm, sitting at the long table with the red-checkered tablecloth, next to Pete, writing in my journal: I feel so at ease and at home in these mountains. I've come to the conclusion that I'm definitely not a city girl.

- Price Before Booze & Tip: £30-£50
- Official Site: FinoRestaurant.com
- Telephone and Address: 0207 813 8010 -- 33 Charlotte Street
- Location: London
London boasts a multitude of new tapas bars that are light-years away from their old-school counterparts. The latter, while having a uniquely special charm, usually serve up mediocre food where the ping of the microwave can be heard punctuating yet another Gypsy Kings song. Of the new kids, the most popular is Barrafina in Soho, which doesn't take reservations and consequently boasts large lineups every day. Of course, the savvy diner will remember that the restaurants' owners, the Hart Brothers, opened one of the first of the Nuevo Spanish joints, Fino, in 2003, which has recently reopened after a flood.
While fine for lunch, Fino really comes into its own in the evening, toward the end of the week when workers from local media companies crowd into the stylish room to wine, dine and entertain. Tables at these times go quickly, so we suggest trying for earlier in the week if you prefer a more relaxed vibe or reserving well ahead (you can book via the restaurant's website). A good tip is to try a walk-in and ask for a place at the bar where you can still have a full meal or just a glass of wine and a quick bite.
Tapas and small plates are the order of the day at Fino. Start your meal by sipping a chilled Manzanilla (from one of the best sherry lists in London) accompanied by some Marcona almonds, fat olives and maybe a plate of the famed Jamon de Jabugo. Move on to seafood dishes like sardines, cooked simply on the plancha, the Galician dish of pulpo (octopus) or the staple of bars all over Spain, chipirones (deep-fried baby squid). Croquetas, especially the crab and jamon versions, are up there with the best. The classic tortilla is also a must-try. For something more substantial, you can try dishes like whole roast suckling pig from Segovia or lechal (milk fed) lamb, although you'll need to order these at least 48 hours in advance. If you're on a budget, watch what you order; excellent as the food is, the dishes are not cheap and the tab can grow alarmingly quickly.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) -- Rudy Gay scored 27 points to lead five
Connecticut scorers in double figures and the third-ranked Huskies
overwhelmed Concordia University of Montreal 106-49 Wednesday night
in an exhibition game.
Gay, a 6-foot-9 sophomore forward, scored on a variety of
medium-range jump shots and dunks, and added five rebounds, four
assists, two blocks and four steals.
Denham Brown had 19 points for the Huskies, while Josh Boone
added 18, Jeff Adrien 12 and Hilton Armstrong 11.
Damian Buckley had 13 points for Concordia, which has the first
five games of a seven-game U.S. tour.
UConn, far bigger, stronger and more talented than the Stingers,
led 50-27 at halftime and tried to work on its defense to begin the
second half. For the opening 13 minutes of the half, UConn held
Concordia to four points as the lead grew to 88-31.
The Huskies finished with a 53-36 rebounding advantage and
forced Concordia into 28 turnovers.

On paper, this looked like it was going to be a blowout. Wilmington's Jake Ordorizzi was coming off a 13-K outing against the first-place Salem Red Sox, Potomac's Mitchell Clegg two starts removed from an 11-run shellacking against third-place Winston Salem.
Instead, Odorizzi suffered his worst outing and Clegg posted his best as the Potomac Nationals once again prevailed 5-4, this time walking off in the bottom of the 9th.
Make no mistake: Clegg was not dominant. Three of the five hits he gave up were no-doubt doubles and he only struck out two over his five and a 1/3rd innings. But he got the outs he needed, including two double plays and had more outs on the ground than in the air, which is progress for a pitcher that has a tendency to leave his pitches up in the zone.
Meanwhile, the duo of Destin Hood and Eury Perez were nearly unstoppable. Both went 4-for-4 with seven total bases, accounting for eight of the 11 Potomac hits. Hood would drive in three runs while Perez would score two runs, including the gamewinner. But more on that a little later.
After six straight games with an error, the P-Nats finally put a zero in the "E" column with the infielders racking up eight assists and turning two double plays, highlighted by Francisco Soriano knocking down a grounder behind the second-base bag and gunning down the runner to save a run.
Josh Smoker and Marcos Frias — both recent starters-turned-relievers — were the first two to follow Clegg on the mound. Each had mixed results. Smoker, who was hitting 92 on the gun, stranded his inherited runner in the sixth but walked the first two batters in the seventh. Frias let in one of those walks in the seventh, but retired the last five batters he faced.
With a slim 3-2 lead going into the bottom of the eighth, Destin Hood drove the first pitch of the eighth deep into the trees beyond the left field for a 4-2 lead. Though the next three batters went down in order, with P-Nat closer Pat Lehman warming in the 'pen, it looked like the game was over.
Though he had warmed up the night before, Lehman hadn't pitched since last Wednesday and the Blue Rocks were able to take advantage of the rust for a two-out double and single that tied the game at 4-4.
After a J.R. Higley strikeout and a warning-track flyout by Soriano, Perez got his fourth hit of the game with a single to left field for a chance to avoid extra innings. Wilmington reliever Manauris Baez knew it, too, as he easily threw to first as often as he threw to the plate against the next batter, Jeff Kobernus.
While he was able to hold Perez at first, Baez made the fatal error of giving the speedster a 3-2, two-out jump and Perez took full advantage, taking off when Baez's motion was toward home and going into the proverbial fifth gear when he saw the ball Kobernus hit clear the shortstop's leap and float into left-center field.
Stevie Wonder could see that this was not going to be a close play as the crowd roared when Perez kicked into the proverbial fifth gear, gliding past third and sliding home with the game- and series-winning run.
The win knocked Wilmington out of first, and put Potomac at .400 for the year with a 14-21 mark. They're back on the road again with four against the new first-place team, Frederick, then three against the last-place Lynchburg Hillcats before returning to Woodbridge next Monday for a six-games-in-seven-days homestand.

My family and I were there today! We were certainly deflated when the apparently sure win devolved into a risk of extra innings. The trip around the bases to win the game was exhiliarating, though.
I want to put a good word in for Soriano, who made several excellent plays at short, diving to keep balls in the infield. I was disappointed in Smoker, who seems he will never live up to the initial hype.
We'll have to see if their record improves when Solis and Harper arrive … Robbie Ray might end up in Potomac as well as Blake Kelso.
I am sure Bryce is coming soom; two more weeks. The pain will be alleviated.
Went to the game down there today. Sat amongst a lot of dogs….they were good company. 🙂
The game was great and I had a super time. It's a long way from Htown but the game made it worth the trip, and it was awesome to see all the last-year Suns playing their hearts out.
Great win!

Obamacare Introduces $3 Pregnancy Tests
Barack Hussein Obama has once again found a way to corrupt our youth. Today, he's announced a $3 pregnancy test that is sancti0ned by the FDA and being sold at bars, colleges and high school vending machines.
Simply called the $3 pregnancy tests that always show positive, these tests are rigged with the DNA juices of a pregnant woman and activate as 'blue' on contact with urine of a post-coital woman. It does not matter if the woman is pregnant or not, as long as a male's DNA is mixed in with the woman's urine sample, the test will show positive. This means whoever buys the test does not even need to tinkle on it to get it to work. It works straight out the box and even worse, per Obamacare, "qualifies as an official medical examination that gives diagnosis of pregnancy, and therefore, qualifies the owner for foodstamps, government housing and Obamacare".
Dive bars in Minnesota have already started to sell the tests to drunken women at 1:57 am for a 'happy minutes' price, the time when desperate people at the bar 'probably are going home to do something they will regret the next day'. Though locals in many cities think it's horrible and will force an increase in state welfare spending, they are powerless to do anything against the long reach of Obama's vested federal power.

Our band at Zoneton Middle School has experienced yet another great year.
In the summer of 2012 ten band students from our school were selected to go to the Summer Middle School Wind Band Institute at the University of Louisville.
In late September, ZMS Advanced Band put on a show at Paroquet Springs, which drew quite a crowd. This performance by our band had two pop selections along with a contemporary piece.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - For this Simon the choice was simple, and he pulled out a "naval" rather than a plum.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – Could employees with the Bullitt County Public School System be looking to receive a pay raise?
SHEPHERDSVILLE – Could the way grades are calculated for students affect the amount of scholarship money they could receive for college?
MOUNT WASHINGTON - Having advanced through preliminary judging, the team of three Bullitt East Students known as the Mount Washington Youth Chamber of Preservationists (aka the "Youth COPs") joined with over 5,000 students of all ages from over 400 schools representing 100 Kentucky districts at the Lexington Convention Center for the annual state finals of the Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) competition.
Over a dozen school officials visited Bullitt County Public Schools March 28th for a look at Apex Learning.
Students at Mount Washington Elementary spent the past several months working on a play.
Casting for the play written and directed by playwright L. Henry Dowell started back in December.
After working and rehearsing the play for two months, it was ready to present to the student body and the public in March.
Library Media Specialist Karyn Hutchins said it was the fifth year the Mount Washington Elementary students had performed works by Dowell and it has become an annual event.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - When Shepherdsville Elementary opened eight years ago, principal David Pate knew he wanted to include an Arts and Humanities lab.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - On a cold winter day in Bullitt County, one might dream of heading to a place like Long Beach, Calif.
Bobbi Caranna grew up in Long Beach, dreaming of what she does now in Bullitt County, teaching impressionable minds.
A long road from the beach, circa Mississippi, brought Caranna to Bullitt Lick Middle School. Fulfilling her life's dream earned her the 2013 Bullitt County Middle School Teacher of the Year Award.

I need to collect network traffic statistics so that if questions come up about how much traffic I'm using I have the answer independent of my ISP. I have a home network with about 10 devices including BluRay player for Netflix, and both Windows and Linux machines.
I've looked at DD-WRT, but I see that even buying a new router that will be supported is a problem since I might get the wrong version of the hardware. I have a DIR-655 and a DIR-501 - neither of which is supported. The DIR-655 only gives me "packets", not bytes transferred. I don't mind buying new hardware, but it's uncertain on which actual device I'll get in the box. DD-WRT looks like a bad solution unless someone knows of a place to get a router that is guaranteed to work.
Does someone know of an Arduino or other SBC solution? I have plenty of NAT routers already, so I just need traffic statistics for external traffic. The network is Gigabit Ethernet connected to high speed consumer internet service.

Are you looking for a stock?
Try one of these
Wells Fargo & Co (WFC-N) reported a weaker-than-expected profit as its lending margins shrank in a weak economy. The rare misstep for the fourth-biggest U.S. bank pushed its shares down sharply.
The bank eked out higher income, but the results disappointed analysts on many fronts. Net interest income, a measure of lending profit, fell 5 percent, and fee income from making home loans and other services fell 7 percent, a steeper-than-expected drop. Revenue fell nearly 4 percent from this year's second quarter.
"The economic recovery has been more sluggish and uneven than anyone anticipated," CEO John Stumpf said in a statement.
Profit at Wells Fargo, the biggest U.S. home loan servicer, was 72 cents US a share, a penny short of the average analyst estimate, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Banks' lending margins are under pressure as intervention from the Federal Reserve pulls down long-term rates. For Wells Fargo, net interest margin tumbled to 3.84 percent from 4.25 percent.
"Right off the bat, net interest margin declined more than expected," said RBC Capital Market analyst Joe Morford.
Wells Fargo executives said some of the margin shrinkage is a result of customers bringing the bank more deposits than it could quickly invest in higher-paying loans. In time, the bank hopes to make more money from those funds, Morford said.
Because the bank set aside less money to cover loan losses during the quarter compared with last year's quarter -- $1.81 billion down from $3.44 billion -- Wells Fargo's bottom line for common shareholders rose to $3.84 billion from $3.15 billion.
Wells Fargo's report comes as the industry struggles to hold onto recent profits after having lost tens of billions of dollars in the financial crisis. Financial company earnings in the third quarter are expected to be up only a fraction of a percent from a year earlier, and still less than half as much as they were five years ago, according to Thomson Reuters Proprietary Research.
Bank stocks have been among the stock market's worst performers this year on fears that their earnings will be flat to down for years on less demand for loans and the low interest rates of the weak economy.
Wells Fargo's loan portfolio was up 1.1 percent to $760 billion, with commercial loans up 3 percent in the quarter.
The loan growth was partly from higher demand and partly a matter of taking business from competitors, Chief Financial Officer Tim Sloan said in an interview. He said the economy is growing, but "choppy."
Analysts and investors have tended to expect more from Wells Fargo recently than from its bigger competitors because its shares are less subject to the ups and downs of the financial markets.
Shares of Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Citigroup -- which earn more of their income from underwriting stocks and bonds and providing corporate takeover advice -- have fallen more this year than Wells Fargo's 14-percent loss through Friday.
"One reason we're a big fan of Wells Fargo is there's less volatility in the earnings," said Channing Smith, co-manager of the Capital Advisors Growth Fund, which owns Wells Fargo.
Wells Fargo said its earnings were boosted by releasing reserves of $800 million for bad loans, down from $1 billion in each of the first two quarters of this year.
Such releases amount to dipping into money previously set aside to cover bad loans and have been a significant part of bank earnings over the past year as lenders decided they set aside too much.
Wells executives told analysts in a conference call after the report to expect more release reserves as long as the economy does not turn down sharply.
The bank said it began "streamlining" staff functions and consolidating consumer lending businesses and several technology groups during the quarter. Noninterest expenses fell 5 percent from a year ago to $11.7 billion on lower personnel, merger and litigation costs. Under a program announced earlier, the bank wants to lower quarterly noninterest expenses to $11 billion by the end of 2012.
San Francisco-based Wells is looking to ramp up revenue by selling more products to East Coast customers following its 2008 purchase of Wachovia Corp. Over the weekend, the bank finished converting Wachovia branches to Wells Fargo signs and systems, the last major step in the acquisition.

On America's Worst Tattoos, the designers are put to the test to cover up a very ugly, naked woman on a customer. The tattoo is so bad that even the wife wants it redesigned into some else. Thankfully that's why these ink artists are the best at their jobs and ideas start flowing on how to cover it up. According to Zap2it on Wednesday, the problem is that picking a design might be difficult. In one segment of the upcoming episode called Paying For A Tattoo With A Beer, there are two designs offered to cover the tattoo and it's going to be a tough choice.
The customer, Mark, had the idea of incorporate that tattoo to offset the tattoo he already has on his shoulders making almost a full back design. Making the designs come together, it seems like a mix that is possible. However, Jeremy, the professional tattoo artist is thinking of something entirely different. Leaving a tough decision to cover up a very ugly tattoo to the customer must decide and he wife weighs in too.
America's Worst Tattoos offers up a weekly look as some of the worst inked designs on the planet. Finding a way to make the image look good and the customer walk away satisfied is exactly how these tattoo artists roll.
America's Worst Tattoos airs Thursday, April 10 on TLC.

Filmed At London's THE GRAND THEATRE
JUNO Award nominated and critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, producer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist Royal Wood announced today the February 10th release of "Royal Wood Live At The Grand" – a live concert DVD via Maple Music Recordings/Fontana North. Filmed on location at The Grand Theatre in London, ON, the DVD features Wood, one of Canada's most accomplished and celebrated artists, at the forefront of the pop genre – widely noted for both his rich and ambitious vocals as well as his musical flexibility.
Produced by Wood and directed and edited by Mitch Fillion (Live At Massey Hall, Southern Souls), "Royal Wood Live At The Grand" encompasses a timeless collection of songs spanning Wood's career – capturing his truest and most confident vocals to date. Packed with breathtakingly poignant moments, the DVD includes songs from Wood's newest album "The Burning Bright" and new songs and arrangements from the companion album "I Wish You Well" both of which Wood says "are some of the most connected and personal creations of my life."
As compelling as he is infectious, Wood recently released the music video for his third single – the melodic and lyrical "I'm Afraid", and will return to the road later this month for a handful of dates throughout the prairies including Saskatoon and St Albert in addition to Nanaimo on March 1st (see below for full list of dates).

New Zealand rich-lister John Spencer has put his pride and joy, the 49m superyacht T6, up for sale at a reported asking price of 39.5 million euros ($80.6m).
Mr Spencer's Whangarei company Flyghtship Construction took nearly eight years to build the superyacht, and the fit-out of its teak white interior was finished only two years ago.
The multi-millionaire has told London's Daily Mail that he frowns on the use of superyachts as fashionable status symbols.
"I don't want to sit here and drink gin and tonic," he told the newspaper while moored in Monaco. "I want to drive the thing."
Designed by Pieter Beeldsnijder, of Holland, T6 is said to be New Zealand's only non-military vessel that can refuel a helicopter at sea.
In a watertight hangar underneath its aft deck sits a A3;1m ($2.2m) Eurocopter AS 350 B3, enabling Mr Spencer to rise Thunderbirds-style out of the deck and be airborne in minutes.
Mr Spencer - known as the "toilet paper magnate" after making a fortune from the Caxton paper mills - was worth an estimated $265 million when he commissioned the yacht. Now retired, he has been in the NBR "rich list" top 10 every year for at least a decade.
The 568-tonne yacht was built to Mr Spencer's requirements, with an ice-strengthened hull and capacity to support its own helicopter operations. It can sleep 10 guests, in addition to 10 crew, and has a maximum speed of 15.5 knots (29km/h).

A Nightcap at the Raffles
A Nightcap at the Raffles
Gautier Battistella - 2011-04-12
A haven of elegance, Raffles Hotel is Singapore's memory and a temple of gastronomy. Here we meet a Chopin devotee and six Michelin stars on a visit.
The air seems to hold the scent of cigar smoke rising from bridge tables and the perfume of ladies in crinoline. It's easy to imagine them, limply fanning themselves while trying to escape from the languor of the long Singapore hours. The varnished floor crackles under our slippers; the faint music of the parquet is a reminder of bygone glory days. We round a corner and espy old black-and-white photos of celebrities; Liz Taylor watches and laughs. The establishment's pride is well-earned; there is no need for pretence. For what is offered here is precisely that: a refined moment, an elegant pause in the heat of the city. Welcome to Raffles Hotel, an oasis in the heart of Singapore.
The city's history is mirrored in that of the establishment. Its name honours Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the gentleman who founded Singapore. Colonel of the British army, lieutenant governor of Java, Raffles abolished slavery and forced labour in his territories and was knighted in 1817. In January 1819, he established the British trading post at the tip of the Malaysian peninsula that was to become Singapore. The hotel that bears Sir Stamford's name evokes this past. An Indian major-domo adorned with a golden sash opens taxi doors for the ladies who arrive and protects them under an umbrella until they have reached the vast lobby. Once inside, only wood, murmurs, memories and the scent of wax prevail as the blades of ceiling fans stir the heavy air. Gentlemen are seen escorting their partners to the Long Bar, where they are likely to order a Singapore Sling and toss peanut shells on the floor – a defiant tradition imported from England that is almost revolutionary here in the Capital of Absolute Cleanliness and Efficiency that is Singapore.
La vie en rose
A maid appears, bows and disappears. It is 35 °C. A balmy breeze ruffles the surface of the pool located behind the main building, past the Amrita Spa. Leaning on the bar, a black man sporting a white robe is crooning Edith Piaf's La Vie en Rose. What miracle has brought this bluesman from New Orleans to Singapore? Is he just passing through? 'We're all just passing through,' he answers in a grave voice, then bursts out laughing. 'My name is James H. McKissic, but you can call me James,' he says. His is a fascinating story. Once pianist in a bar in Marrakech, eking out a living here and there, wherever there was work, he caught the eye of a producer from New York who asked him if he'd like to perform… at Carnegie Hall. James played Debussy, Chopin and Schumann. Or rather God was playing, he says, since all he does is lend God his fingers. 'It's just that simple. All you've got to do is believe.' Indeed, we want to believe. This man's eyes sparkle with light. He's seventy years old but looks fifty. He excuses himself from our company with, 'I'll play one for you, I promise.' Meetings at the Raffles are never banal.
An opus of another kind takes place here once a year. Right now, several brigades of toque-topped chefs, replete with knives, pots and pans, have set up their kitchens in the lobby. A gourmet army, ready to charge. Pierre Burgade, a native of Mirande in South-West France, is executive chef of the Raffles restaurants. Every year he welcomes some of the world's best chefs to the Raffles Hotel Wine Food & Arts Experience in view of building bridges between different culinary cultures. This year's gourmet event is orchestrated by superchef Gérald Passédat of the Petit Nicein Marseille – a regular, since it is his third year - and new star Gilles Goujon of L'Auberge du Vieux Puits in Fontjoncouse (in France's Languedoc-Roussillon region) who was awarded his third star in 2010. Six Michelin stars between them. They gratify us with a lesson in flavours and aromas.
Gilles Goujon and his Andalusian egg
Is it really necessary to present Gilles Goujon's emblematic dish, the Carrus egg with Melanosporum truffle and summer mushroom puree, warm brioche and 'cappuccino' on the side? You slice into the egg, like Simone Mareuil's eye in Buñuel and Dali's classic film An Andalusian Dog, and what oozes out? Its 'rotten' interior: truffle juice! Fabulous! An ocular metaphor for a culinary masterpiece. Just a bit further on, the charismatic Gérald Passédat, famous for (among other dishes) his deconstructedbouillabaisse in three servings, offers a lobster from the depths.
And it is from the depths that a suave voice surfaces: James is singing Brel's Ne me quitte pas. Brel's lyrics slide through the air like velvet. Nina Simone's ghost leans on the piano. Ne me quitte pas, never leave me. James, who says he does not think of tomorrow, knows it as well as any other: you can never really leave the Raffles.

BREAKING: Waterford edges Badger, four teams stuck in SLC logjam
February 16, 2012
The stakes were high at Badger High School Friday night.
With a win, the Badger girls basketball team would be on the inside track for its first Southern Lakes Conference title since 1998.
But there was one major road block, Waterford senior Stephanie Rank.
The powerful 5-foot-10 center scored 10 of her game-high 23 points in the fourth quarter, and the Wolverines knocked off Badger, 50-45, to force a four-way tie in the loss column in the ultra-competitive SLC.
Waterford (9-3 SLC) now controls its own destiny for at least a share of the SLC crown despite a three-way tie with Badger and Union Grove. The Wolverines split with Wilmot and Union Grove, but downed Badger twice. The Broncos and Wilmot (8-3) both won Friday, so it will come down to the final two weeks of play to determine the winner.
Badger has the easiest road ahead, with games against Burlington (2-18) and Delavan-Darien (6-13). Wilmot must face Elkhorn (6-10) twice and must travel to Union Grove.
"It's going to come down to the last week," Badger coach David Jooss said. "If we win our last two games, we at least tie for the championship. With everyone controlling their own destiny, that makes it exciting."
On Friday, Badger trailed, 22-16, at haltime before embarking on a 7-0 run midway through the third quarter. Two Lana Wieseman buckets and an Emma Kopp 3-pointer cut the lead to 24-23, and a Karina Reeves coast-to-coast layup gave Badger its first lead of the second half with four minutes left in the frame.
Waterford built a 31-27 lead, but Wieseman's top-of-the-key triple after a Taylar Keenan steal made it 31-30 late in the third. Badger regained the lead briefly at 36-35 with 5:10 to play, but Rank fired off six straight points to give Waterford some breathing room at 41-36.
With 2:45 left, Kopp was short on a triple, but Wieseman dug and clawed for the rebound and made a put-back layup despite heavy contact. The three-point play cut the Waterford advantage to 41-39.
Wieseman got to the line with 48.6 seconds to go, with Badger down 45-41, but missed two free throws. After a Waterford free throw, Reeves missed the front end of a one-and-one with 46.6 seconds. After a Wieseman layup and two Reeves foul shots made it 48-45 with 10.3 seconds left, Rank hit two big free throws to ice the victory.
"Give Waterford credit," Badger coach David Jooss said. "They played a really good basketball game. They were able to score in bunches, and it hurt us."
Rank connected on all six of her free throws.
Wieseman paced the Badgers with 21 points, including 13 in the second half. Both Kopp and Reeves were held to six points.
Waterford utilized a quick, punishing interior defense to thwart Badger drives and was able to effectively defend the perimeter.
"We tried to force things a couple times," Jooss said. "They did some good things defensively."
Badger travels to Muskego Tuesday in nonconference action.

Cristiano Ronaldo puts a protective arm around girlfriend Irina Shayk who plays coy with the camera as they take a walk today with friends in New York City earlier today (June 19, 2013).
Shayk has reason to be camera shy, she's dealing with a not very fun issue of being victim to a stalker. Irina Shayk is reportedly attempting to get a restraining order against a man who has been pestering her for two years.
According to New York Post, police have confirmed the story. It is alleged the unnamed man has been seen on CCTV footage taken from the building and has also been sending Irina presents, including flowers, over the last two years.
He reportedly broke into the model's home when it was being worked on after it was flooded during Super storm Sandy last year.
"She returned to find the intruder in the apartment but managed to run out and call 911. When cops arrived, the man had already left. Shayk filed a complaint, but no arrests were made," reports the publication.
On Sunday the apparent stalker returned to the apartment block, so Irina again filed paperwork with police and is now said to be trying to get a restraining order.
According to the publication, the star was later heard discussing the incident with a friend while she was out shopping. She was apparently heard saying she was "super freaked out".
"She was going up and down the aisles, telling a friend she has a stalker [who showed up at her apartment again] and how scared she is," an onlooker claimed. "She wasn't whispering. I'd never met her before, but I wanted to pull her aside to tell her that the middle of a packed store was [not the place] to talk about that subject matter."
Eeek! I'd certainly be concerned as well. Thank goodness Cristiano took time out of his tanning vacation to be by her side.
