Eastern Illinois Cruises Past Baseball, 13-2
April 23, 2002
Chicago, Ill. - It just was not meant to be for the University of Illinois at Chicago baseball team.
Eastern Illinois scored all thirteen of its runs after the fourth inning, including three home runs, as the Panthers cruised to the 13-2 victory over UIC at Les Miller Field on Tuesday night.
Junior shortstop Aaron Shelbourne led the Eastern Illinois' attack as he went 3-for-5 with three RBI, three runs scored and a solo homer in the top of the ninth inning. Freshman designated hitter Mike Gavin went 2-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored, including a three-run opposite-field blast in the top of the sixth inning.
With the victory, Eastern Illinois improves to 15-18, while the Flames fall to 27-8 on the 2002 campaign.
Junior transfer Eric Xidis (Merrillville, Ind./Merrillville) took the loss for UIC as he dropped to 4-4 on the campaign. Xidis allowed six runs and seven hits, while striking out five batters in 6 2/3 innings of work
Eastern Illinois got on the board first in the top of the fifth inning as sophomore Marcus Jackson put the Panthers ahead with a two-run shot over the left field wall in the top of the fifth inning.
UIC answered in the bottom half of the frame as junior right fielder Curtis Granderson (Lynwood, Ill./T.F. South) plated Mike Bruszer (Deerfield, Ill./Deerfield) with a sacrifice fly for the second out of the inning. Sophomore Mark Homco (Galesburg, Ill./Galesburg), however, was thrown out at third base to end the inning.
Eastern Illinois opened up the sixth inning with a walk by third baseman Ben Duke and a single by center fielder Kirk Walters to put runners at first and second for the Panthers.
Xidis fanned first baseman Brian Nickell to set the stage for Gavin's three-run blast to put the Flames away for good.
The Flames added their second run in the bottom of the sixth inning as junior catcher Kevin Nelson (Arlington Heights, Ill./Rolling Meadows) drove in designated hitter Mike Lorenzo (Lockport, Ill./Providence) with a sacrifice fly.
EIU also touched relievers Charlie Hahn (Rolling Meadows, Ill./Rolling Meadows) and Eric Carlson (Northlake, Ill./Leyden) for a combined seven runs. Hahn gave up six runs, two earned, while Carlson gave up Shelbourne's shot in the ninth inning.
UIC will be back in action on Wednesday night, as they will host North Central College at 7:05 PM at Les Miller Field.

In the bottom half of the frame, Texas mounted its largest threat, as the leadoff batter reached on a walk and a two-out single gave UT two of its three base runners in the game. Mowatt beared down, however, striking out Kelly Melone to bring the first inning to a close.
In the bottom of the third, Lowe made the play of the game, and possibly of the year, when she knocked down the temporary fencing in center field to haul in a would-be Tina Boutelle home run.
The Wildcats kept the pressure on in the top of the sixth, as Laine Roth registered her third hit of the day, but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Two batters later, Adrienne Acton reached first on and error, and consequently stole second base and moved to third on a wild pitch. Once again, UA was unable to bring her in, leaving the score 1-0,

The revelation adds to the US tax agency's existing troubles over its targeting of Tea Party conservatives seeking exemptions.
22:37, UK, Monday 03 June 2013
The Internal Revenue Service spent about $50m on about 220 staff conferences between 2010 and 2012, according to a US Treasury Department report.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said the documents show the total included $4m for an August 2010 conference in Anaheim, California, for which officials did not negotiate lower hotel room rates.
The committee says the report found that instead, IRS workers who attended received benefits, including stays in presidential suites.
In addition, 15 outside speakers were paid $135k in fees, with one paid $17k to talk about leadership through art.
The department issued a statement on Sunday saying the administration "has already taken aggressive and dramatic action to reduce conference spending".
The report set to be released on Tuesday comes as the IRS already faces bipartisan criticism for singling out tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status for extra scrutiny.
Three congressional committees are investigating, a Justice Department criminal investigation is under way, President Obama has replaced the IRS acting commissioner and two other top officials have stepped aside.
During his first congressional appearance on Monday, the new acting commissioner, Danny Werfel, acknowledged that American taxpayers no longer trust the IRS.
Mr Werfel told a House Appropriations subcommittee he was "committed to restoring that trust".
He said he has installed new leadership at the agency and is conducting a thorough review of what went wrong and how to fix it.
"We must have the trust of the American taxpayer. Unfortunately, that trust has been broken," Mr Werfel said.
He added: "The agency stands ready to confront the problems that occurred, hold accountable those who acted inappropriately, be open about what happened, and permanently fix these problems so that such missteps do not occur again."
The report on IRS conferences will be the subject of a hearing on Thursday by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

The Kaper is organised jointly by the Auckland Land Rover Owners' Club and Kaukapakapa School and runs every other year. As with other such events the school helps with the admin, sourcing land access, via parents and friends of the school, and doing the catering. In return the school gets a substantial amount of its fund raising done in one hit (typically $25-$30,000 for the event). The club looks after the route, scrutineering and marshalling.
The SEMA show has got to be the petrol head paradise – just so many stunning cars on display you get overload after the first day and a half and then there is what the show is really about, all the accessories, tools and go fast bits that the aftermarket can produce including a whole huge hall full of SUV and off road bits.

Last Friday SealFit class met at Pinnacle Peak at 0500. The task was to move boulders up the mountain to help build walls so hikers can be safe and to keep the trail protected. They put their heart, sweat, and souls forward to push through the exhausting temperature. Locals and other volunteers could not believe the determination and will power of these 9 men.Christian Nichols from Luke Air Force base volunteered his precious time to lead these amazing men forward as they completed the task. They pushed through unknown obstacles in this overbearing heat and conquered Pinnacle Peak.

MEDINA — Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel recognized employees at a local business as part of a program to inspire a new generation of skilled factory workers.
Mandel recognized three workers at Rico Manufacturing, 691 W. Liberty St., Wednesday afternoon as part of his new "Ohio Strong" initiative.
The program is designed to encourage more young people to seek training and careers in manufacturing and other skilled trades by presenting people in those fields as role models.
"I believe these folks are the backbone of Ohio's economy and in order to have healthy finances and grow the economy, we need to inspire the next generation to enter the skilled trades," Mandel said.
The three employees honored are Patrick J. Damon, weld department leadman and an employee of 15 years; Kurt J. Visscher, a machinist of 10 years; and Rowan B, Decoster, a subassembly supervisor and 14-year employee.
"I know the guys are really excited," Rico CEO David Mueller said. "We are really passionate about manufacturing, and having good people is a great thing during a time when quality candidates are getting harder to find."
Rico, founded in 1984, makes dye- and material-handling equipment and custom-built lift trucks. The company has 80 employees, more than half with at least 10 years with the company.
Mandel told employees that the retirement of baby boomers has left a 600,000-worker gap in the field of manufacturers and skilled trade workers.
Mandel cited a Bureau of Labor Statistics study that shows 48 percent of college graduates are working in fields that don't require college degrees, and would be better served and better serve the state if they had chosen a vocational trade.
"We need to get shop class back in schools," Mandel said.
He said school districts in every corner of the state are abandoning shop class while telling students the only way to succeed is with a four-year degree.
"We need guidance counselors telling students that a four-year degree is one way to be successful," Mandel said, "but another way is a career in manufacturing or welding, machining or pipefitting."
Mandel thanked the employees for what he said is a career that strengthens America's national security.
"When I grew up, we competed with Indiana and Michigan, but now we are competing with India and China," he said. "A manufacturing-based economy makes us a stronger nation."

30 Years of CFCCA | Stanley Chow
- 5 February — 21 July 2016 *on now
CFCCA is proud to launch our new limited edition print shop with a series of exclusive works by celebrated Manchester artist Stanley Chow.
We originally worked with Stanley Chow in 2014 when we hosted The Takeaway, a retrospective of his work influenced by memories of his childhood. The exhibition and accompanying sale of his artworks was extremely well attended and a highlight of CFCCA's programme.
inStangram continues the themes from The Takeaway as it presents a series of 30 unique and exclusive designs of food, objects and locations that resonate with Stanley Chow's experience of growing up in Manchester as an English-born Chinese man from Hong Kong. The autobiographical exhibition parodies the popular social network, rebranded in Stanley's own playful style.

Menomonee Falls picked up its fifth win of the season during its visit to West Allis Hale on Friday evening with a 21-7 victory over the Huskies. Falls improved to 5-2 overall, and 5-1 in the Greater Metro Conference, where it still has a chance to share the league crown.
Falls took control of the game early on when Cole Hernikl ran in a 38-yard touchdown. From that point forward, however, neither team could do much offensively. On the second Indians possession of the night, Falls opted to go for it on a 4th and 2 situation from the Hale 25 yard line, but the Huskies defense held the line and forced a turnover on downs. It was the first of four failed fourth down conversions by the Indians.
"Defensively I thought we played great, I really did," said Hale head coach Brandon Ehret. "There were some critical situations where our kids stepped up and made some big plays, and we had some crucial fourth down stops. Our kids definitely stepped up on the defensive side of the ball."
The Huskies didn't fare much better offensively, as the farthest they reached in the first half was the Falls 25-yard line on their final possession of the half. Like the Indians, the Huskies also had issues converting on fourth down, and an incomplete pass from Hale quarterback Nick Sotiros forced a turnover on downs just before halftime.
"At times we were out of sync offensively," said Ehret. "We had opportunities to move the ball. Give a lot of credit to Menomonee Falls. They're a very good football team. They've got a very very good defense, I think one of the top defenses in this conference."
The Indians finally found themselves on the scoreboard again midway through the third quarter on a 20-yard touchdown run from Hernikl, which put Falls up 14-0.
After seven plays, four runs from Marcel Mundt, and a pass to Mundt from Sotiros, the Huskies found themselves on the Falls 29 yard line with a 4th and 9 situation on their hands. They opted to go for it, but DeShawn Pullen sacked Sotiros for an 8-yard loss and yet another turnover on downs.
The Indians iced the game midway through the fourth quarter on yet another touchdown run from Hernikl to give the Indians a 21-0 lead. Hale finally found the scoreboard on a 14-yard pass from Sotiros to Mundt, but with just over a minute to play, the points came too little, too late. The subsequent onside kick attempt was recovered by Falls, and quarterback Adam Vechart was able to take a knee.
"The O-line did a great job, the running backs did a lot of great things," said Vechart. "We're playing for a conference championship next week, and that's what we've always wanted."
Menomonee Falls will host Brookfield Central next Friday, and a win would ensure at least a share in the conference title.
"West Allis Hale played a great game," coach John Baker said. "They were physical all night. It was a close game. We've got to fix some things, but I was proud of our kids and how they stuck with it."
If Falls can knock off Brookfield Central next week, the Indians would finish no worse than second place in the Greater Metro. Should Sussex Hamilton knock off Brookfield East, the three teams would share the league crown.

Spring is in the air, and that means more opportunities to get out to Austin's many local parks before the summer brings its inevitable blistering heat. In the coming series, we'll profile several different parks in the central and north parts of town and rate them from a twin mom's perspective. The rating depends on three categories:
- Fun, or variety of age appropriate activities - Are there play areas for toddlers and older kids? Lots of things to do, or is everyone going to be bored after five minutes?
- Sun, or weather resistance - Are you going to be left in the harsh sun the entire time? Or are there plenty of shaded areas? What about picnic tables and pavilions for breaks?
- Run, aka flight risk - Probably the most important factor to consider since twin moms are almost always outnumbered. Is the space fairly easy to manage, or will you be left in the dust as your kids run for the hills, or worse, the street?
Note: My children are ages 3 and 1, so a lot of my opinions are based on their abilities and my need to keep a close eye on them.
Centrally located, the enormous Zilker Park is the home of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, Barton Springs Pool, and the Zilker Zephyr train. There's lots of space, lots to do, and yes, lots of people. School groups often make field trips to Zilker, and it's hard to find a time when this park isn't busy.
FUN: High! This park is fun! There is so much to do between the giant playscape and nearby activities. Tickets for the train are only a few dollars, and nearby concessions serve food, drinks, snow cones, and ice cream. The play area has fun for all ages, from bucket swings to tall towers for climbers.
SUN: Medium. Most of the playscape area is in the sun, but there is plenty of shade surrounding it. The immediate area also offers picnic tables and a large pavilion that can be rented for parties.
RUN: High. Moms of multiples often have a hard time at Zilker if alone with their kids. The playscape is large, it's most often crowded, and it's easy to lose sight of your kids while they get lost in play (tip: dress them alike if possible!). With another parent or friend, it might be a little easier and less stress inducing.
Overall grade: Excellent! Zilker Park offers so much for families. Other seasonal activities include the annual Zilker Kite Festival and the Zilker Holiday Tree Festival. Families can also take in the nearby and beautiful Zilker Botanical Gardens and Umlauf Sculpture Garden, then grab a bite at one of the many restaurants on Barton Springs Road.
Gather the family, pack a lunch, and make a day of this fantastic local resource and its surroundings!

Muscle Shorts 2It was a lazy Saturday afternoon for once and Tsuna was making sure to enjoy it as much as he could. He sighed as he leaned up against the windowsill and watched the clouds begin to roll by. Larger black clouds were looming on the horizon which meant rain was bound to hit at some point, but he didn't care much. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Tsuna turned to see Fuuta slowly opening the door. "Tsuna-nii," Fuuta said looking a bit tired, "I'm bored. Can you play with me?" "Huh," Tsuna said, "What about Lambo or I-pin?" Fuuta looked down at the floor. "They're out with Mama getting groceries and Reborn's with Bianchi helping to train Gokudera today." He flopped down on the bed and Tsuna sighed and glanced back out the window in time to see Kyoko and Hana walk past. Tsuna blushed as he saw Kyoko was smiling as she conversed with Hana. "Kyoko's really pretty isn't she, Tsuna-nii?" Tsuna jumped as he found Fuuta suddenly standing next to him at the window. "F-Fuuta! H-How did-" "Muscle Shorts 2 by pika626

Ash and Dawn realized they had feelings for each other. Before they could kiss however, Ash's body was taken over by an evil voice inside his head and he ran off in the direction of Lake Valor. Dawn went off to find Brock. This is the fourth, and last, part.
"BROCK! BORCK!" yelled Dawn as she came running up to him "BROCK YOU GOTTA HELP ME! ASH HAS RUN OFF TO LAKE VALOR! HELP!"
Brock and Dawn went off to Lake Valor to look for Ash. On the way they saw Pikachu on the ground.
"Pikachu!" yelled Dawn "Are you alright!"
"Pika-pika! Pi-pika-chu-chu! Pikachu!" said Pikachu (In English Pikachu said "You have no idea! Ash has gone insane and rushed to Lake Valor! Help me!")
Brock, Dawn and Pikachu journeyed to Lake Valor. They saw a red glow in the cavern in the middle. Brock had Tyranitar (Yes, he has a Tyranitar) use surf (Tyranitar CAN use surf! Try it in a game!) to carry them to the cavern. They found Ash confronting Azelf.

"I am the greatest!" said Ash "I really AM the greatest!"
Ash went backstage and was greeted by Dawn, who ran up and hugged him.
"So," said Ash "How about we go and get my eigth badge now?"
"Actually," said Brock "The Sunyshore gym leader has gone to challenge the Pokemon League, and won't be back for a few days."
Ash was annoyed, but it meant they got to do some sightseeing. They went to the Sunyshore lighthouse first and took the tour. The tour lasted the rest of the day. Everyone was staring at Ash.
"Let them stare!" said a voice inside his head "They're just jealous!"
Ash let them stare. He didn't stop and pose or anything like that, he just let them stare without telling them to buzz off. After the tour they went back to the Pokemon Center to sleep. Ash felt...different. As if

Brock, Dr. Kelp, Dr. Avira, Nurse Joy and Chansey came over.
"What muscles?" asked Dr. Kelp
"Umm..." said Ash
"So, what muscles?" asked Dr. Kelp again
"Well..." said Ash
"I'll tell you 'what muscles'," said Dawn "Or better yet, SHOW YOU!"
Dawn pinched Ash's arm and forced him to take off his shirt and jacket. Everyone gasped as they saw his muscles. Dr. Kelp and Dr. Avira even fainted and were taken to their beds. Ash smiled at the result his new body had caused.
"Ash how did that happen?!" asked Brock, wide-eyed
"I'm not sure," said Ash "Maybe it happened because of the chemicals in that stuff that spilled over me."
"Umm, Ash," said Brock "I ought to tell you...we're out of PokeDollars."

January 13, 1999
THE CARDINAL: Stanford finished the 1998 campaign with a 3-8 overall record and a 2-6 reading in the Pacific-10 Conference. The Cardinal suffered a six-game losing streak from September 26-November 7, but finished the year on a strong note by beating Washington State and California. The 98 Cardinal fielded one of the youngest teams in school history with more than 50 players seeing their first collegiate action in 1998. Stanford loses only nine players off this years roster due to graduation, including one starter on defense, two on offense and the punter and placekicker.
POST-SEASON HONORS: Stanford had three players earn Second-Team All-Pac-10 honors: FL Troy Walters, OLB Donnie Spragan and C Mike McLaughlin. Three other players were chosen honorable mention All-Pac-10, including QB Todd Husak, DT Wille Howard and FS Tim Smith. Earning First-Team Academic All-Pac-10 honors were RB Juan-Carlos Lacey, TE Russell Stewart and Walters.
NINE SENIORS DEPART: Stanford will lose just nine players off this years team due to graduation. Heading into the 99 campaign, the Cardinal will return 10 starters on defense and nine on offense. The departing seniors include: FL Jeff Allen, OT Brian Donoghue, OG Andrew Kroeker, P/PK Kevin Miller, OG Matt Motherway, PK Patrick Shinnefield, OLB Donnie Spragan, OLB Brian Toner and OT Geoff Wilson.
RETURNING IN 99: A young Stanford team in 1998 will turn into a more experienced team in 1999 as the Cardinal will return 19 starters, including 10 on defense and nine on offense Stanford must replace two starters on the offensive line in OG Andrew Kroeker and OT Geoff Wilson along with OLB Donnie Spragan The departure of P/PK Kevin Miller means the Cardinal will have two new kickers in 99 Stanford returns all of its running backs, its top three receivers and 15 of the 16 players who caught passes in 1998, all three quarterbacks, including starter Todd Husak, and three of five starters on the offensive line Everyone returns on defense with the exception of Spragan and backup OLB Brian Toner.
THE WALTERS WATCH: Consider the production of Troy Walters during the 1998 season...... then consider the fact that he missed all of two games and most of two others and you quickly realize why he is considered one of the top receivers in college football Walters, who caught 52 passes for 880 yards (16.9 ypc) and five touchdowns, broke the school record for career receiving yards and moved up to number three on Stanfords all-time receptions list - all in just three seasons He now has 2,530 career receiving yards, which broke Justin Armours record of 2,482 His 170 career receptions trails only Darrin Nelson (214) and Brad Muster (194) in the Cardinal record book and puts him on pace to break Nelsons record in 1999 Despite his limited amount of playing time, Walters still managed to be named Second-Team All-Pac-10 and First-Team Academic All-Pac-10 in 98 He was also chosen the teams MVP For the record, Walters played in just six full games in 1998 He missed two full games (North Carolina, Oregon), played in one quarter of another (Arizona), two quarters of another (USC) and just two plays in a game at Notre Dame He ranked among the Pac-10 and and national leaders in receptions per game (5.78), receiving yards per game (97.78) and all-purpose running (123.89) Walters caught 10 passes for 192 yards against second-ranked UCLA on October 31,the fourth 10-plus reception game of his career The 192 receiving yards in a game tied James Lofton as the fourth best single game performance in Stanford history Walters is also tied for fifth all-time at Stanford with 16 touchdown receptions and he is seventh in career all-purpose running with 3,506 yards.

I think this match would certainly take some time to play out, but in the end, the Chief would get this victory.
What say you?

i'll get some photos up later but it's in good condition aside from marking to the bit where the collar bites the arm socket to hold it in place.
It's been rewired internally with trans-fi cable, but there's no external wire, needs to be hooked up
the counterweight is a heavy one, thinks it's for the 12" version of the arm but i'll weigh it to make sure. couple of marks on it, think it was damaged in transit
no headshell
in light of the above, i'm open to offers for it. still a brilliant arm

Composite Greeting Cards: Military and Space Shuttle
Humorous greeting cards made from composite pictures with images coming from official military and NASA websites. Designed and Created by Luming Marr.
de Luming Marr
This 40-page book has 41 humorous colored composite pictures (including front and back covers). All of them were created by using Adobe Photoshop to combine images from different sources into composite pictures. Events being described in pictures and captions do not really happen in the way as shown. Please relax and enjoy. You will find many familiar pictures – space shuttles, war planes, ships, aircraft carriers, tanks, little toy ducks – with humorous messages.
This book is designed, created and written by Luming Marr and is published by www.blurb.com in May 2009. To order, please go to www.blurb.com/bookstore and search for "Luming Marr" to order this book – "Composite Greeting Cards: Military and Space Shuttle." Thank you!
A personal note: I ordered this composite picture book from www.blurb.com by using my own credit card, the book was delivered to my doorstep by UPS around six days from the date I put the order. The packaging is really good, the quality of the book and the color of all the pictures is just great, in my opinion, it is even better than "bookstore" quality.
I like to make composite pictures. When I took a photography course in college many years ago, I submitted a composite pictures album as my portfolio and the instructor and my classmates all liked those pictures. There was no PC or Photoshop at that time, so I needed to collect old magazines and cut the images out then manually pasted them together into composite pictures on a piece of paper before I photographed the final work to get the color prints. I am glad that we do have PC's, digital cameras and software tools plus tons of public domain pictures on the internet now to create composite pictures much more easily. It is great fun doing it and I hope you enjoy these composite pictures.

Dave would like to pay his respects to Craig "Ironhead" Heyward who passed on this week.
Ironhead will also be remembered as one of the most amazing talents I have ever seen. Though his NFL career was short and somewhat unremarkable, it was his personality that most remember...who can forget the bodywash commercial "But, Ironhead, what about the shower thingee?"
And as for college, I still remember him running roughshod over a JJ coached defense at the U of Miami, and I can't forget the game against Penn State in which he literally took over the game.

CENTRALIA — Tenino Mayor Eric Strawn will not face a charge of indecent exposure after he was accused of having sexual contact with a woman inside a city vehicle last week, according to an attorney for the city of Lacey.
On Monday, police responded to a report of a man and a woman inside a Tenino police vehicle near Ruddell Road in Lacey.
Officers found Strawn with a woman inside a black and white 2004 GMC Envoy, a former police vehicle in the process of being decommissioned.
Tenino Police Chief John Hutchings said Strawn asked for the keys to the vehicle Friday and said he would remove the lettering on it using a heat gun in order to save the city money.
"I have the authorization to allow a nonmember of the police department to drive one of our vehicles," Hutchings said. "But I work for the mayor — he doesn't work for me. So as the mayor, he has the right to take the city vehicle."
Strawn said he was using the vehicle for city business. He said he met up with a friend and they shared an "affectionate kiss" inside the car.
The name of the woman who accompanied Strawn in the city vehicle were redacted from the police report.
According to six witness statements included in the 43-page police report detailing the incident, Strawn and his companion were parked in front of Health Wiz Fitness, a Christian-based gym. Witness accounts of the details of the encounter varied.
Some witnesses said they were "repulsed, alarmed and annoyed" by the public behavior.
But Strawn, who denies the allegations, said the statements from the witnesses are full of inconsistencies.
He said what they believe happened is a matter of perception. He also pointed to inconsistencies among the testimonies and inaccurate descriptions of his own physical appearance; for example, he said he was wearing a plaid — "not checkered" — shirt, despite what a witness said.
"I feel vindicated," Strawn said. "I feel good. I'm not over here doing high fives, but I'm relieved. People can say what they want to say, but I can say I didn't break the law."
Reputation problems
However, Tenino residents are calling the incident, which has been picked up by multiple media outlets, another black mark on the city's reputation.
Hutchings, who took over after the former police chief resigned when an investigation revealed he had lied about cheating on his wife, who had committed suicide, said this most recent incident is "absolutely" a concern for the reputation of the police department.
"It's embarrassing at the least and distracting at the least," he said.
When he won in the November election, Strawn, a political newcomer, said he would bring about positive change in his home town.
Although he had widespread support among citizens, Strawn has faced challenges from the beginning.
Before Strawn was even sworn into office, the council, led by its former mayor, passed an ordinance that stripped the mayor of some of his powers. Soon after Strawn began his term, members of the city staff installed a gate inside City Hall to block him from accessing records.
But it's not only Strawn who has stood in the spotlight.
Most recently, the Tenino Recall Committee formed to try to recall councilor Frank Anderson, who owes the city more than $140,000 in property code violations and unpaid water and sewer bills.
The goings-on in Tenino have even attracted attention from a New York production company, who is expected to return soon to the area to film a reality TV show about the city.

Some stories are so colorful, so over-the-top insane the term "stranger than fiction" hardly covers it.
How else can you approach "Surfwise, the 2008 documentary (now on DVD) about a family of 11 who lived in a 24-foot camper along a surfer-friendly beach?
Blame Dorian Paskowitz, the Jewish doctor turned beach bum who fathered nine children and housed them in that cramped camper. Paskowitz's story screams to be turned into a documentary, and director Doug Pray delivers precisely the kind of movie this tale demands.
But just when Pray's film seems poised for greatness, it pulls back, leaving audiences begging for more.
"Surfwise" starts with the family patriarch, a man who studied medicine but transformed his life after a visit to Israel. His approach to parenting was a cross between surfer dude 101 and zen master redux. Don't take in sugar or any other bad foods. Live a life without material possessions. And don't complain if your mother and I have copious amounts of sex a few feet from your beds.
The film's first half romanticizes the sunnier aspects of the family's life. No school! Surf all day! The beach is your personal backyard!
Then, reality seeps in. The children grew up woefully unprepared for the real world. They lacked a formal education as well as the social skills required when their lives moved away from the beach.
And they're angry as hell about it.
But it's here where Pray starts pulling his punches. He teases us with the depths of the children's resentment toward their father, but the film steers clumsily toward the kind of happy ending that seems ripped from reality TV, not the fractured lives we've just witnessed.
"Surfwise" is a must-see all the same, if only to witness Dorian in action. He's in his 80s now, and despite various ailments he remains dedicated toward his singular approach to living. He also works out in the nude and blames his children's complaints on laziness, not his own imperfect parental skills. Yet he's too smart not to be on to something about society's obsession with consumerism and greed, even if he took his approach to child-rearing to unhealthy levels.
Those methods led to one heckuva documentary, but you'll probably hug your parents a little harder the next time you see them.

There do seem to be two sides to this argument. Check out the exchange over at The National Review Online's blog, the corner, between Andy McCarthy and Kevin Williamson Also, for good measure check out AllahPundit over Hotair's feelings about it too. Just a short fun fact, AllahPundit was within 5 miles of the trade center when it was hit on 9/11.
Personally, I feel that the dude should have been killed; he was actively recruiting people for Jihad or in American terms, for war with the United States and would be considered a traitor to the United States. Due process? Feh. The people who died on 9/11 were not given any due process or even a choice whether to live or die. So, that whole bat shit crazy argument does not even fly with me.
Further more, this is why I despise Ron Paul with every damned fiber of my being; the man is a terrorist supporting jackal. Anyone who would side with those, or even have pity of those who would want to hurt this Country, ought be frog marched out into the public square and shot. I am sorry if that offends anyone; but it is just how I feel. Ron Paul and his merry band of leftists are a disgrace to this Country and everything it stands for. They call themselves Republicans and Conservatives — I call them bastards, evil, rotten to the damned core bastards, who should be locked in an insane asylum.
Update: Looks like Gary Johnson feels the same way, which is another reason why neither of these two idiots will ever be President:

A trip to the supermarket can be a routine chore, or it can be viewed as an opportunity to try the new and unfamiliar. A random decision to throw a packet of baby beets in the cart can result in a delicious, healthy, and sophisticated dinner.
Leafing through Jamie Oliver's excellent cookbook Food Escapes yielded a recipe that could be adapted to what was on hand. A tilapia filet took the place of pike perch and the portions were reduced to feed one person. A quick look through The Paley's Place Cookbook revealed another beet recipe that could be combined with the Oliver version. Once the spice and ingredient choices were confirmed (by looking in the fridge and cabinet) it was time to set up and get cooking.
The beet salad morphed into a colorful mixture of 1/2 a yellow pepper, one large carrot, a tablespoon of persillade (a mixture of garlic and parsley), and the baby beets. Chop the pepper and carrots into small pieces, then mix in the pesillade and beets. Sprinkle with coarse salt and drizzle with olive oil. Put into a small, shallow oven safe dish and bake at 350 for about an hour. When the beets and carrots are soft, remove from the oven and let cool. Do a swift chop to reduce the size of the beets, then put the mixture in a bowl and toss with a tablespoonful of red wine vinegar. Set aside.
Prep the tilapia filet by making small incisions in the flesh and then rubbing with a mixture of olive oil and herbs. Suggested herbs are dill, caraway seeds, tarragon, and parsley. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then pop into a hot pan for 3 to 4 minutes, until the fish is white and flaky. Remove the fish to a plate, and then add some greens to the hot pan. Reserve the pan juices for plating.
You can use the recommended spinach, or try kale, mustard greens, or even arugula. Sprinkle the greens with salt and saute until just wilted. Dot with butter and squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon into the pan. Toss and remove from heat. Create a topping for the dish with 1/4 cup of sour cream mixed with a tablespoon of cream style horseradish. Get ready to plate the dish by lining up the bowls of ingredients and topping on your counter.
On a dinner plate, spoon a helping of the beet/pepper/carrot salad. Place a portion of the greens on top of this. Put a little of the sour cream horseradish sauce on the greens, and then cover with the tilapia filet. Pour some of the reserved pan juices from the fish, then a dollop of the sour cream and horseradish sauce. Sit down at the table and enjoy slowly with a glass of white wine or a good crisp hard cider.

U.S. ends ban on flights into Israel's Ben Gurion Airport
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Federal Aviation Administration removed its ban on U.S. passenger planes flying to and from Tel Aviv Wednesday night, a day-and-a-half after stopping all the flights citing security concerns.
Israeli officials have been lobbying Washington to reverse its decision which was put in place after a Hamas rocket struck close to the airport on Tuesday. Other international airlines followed suit, canceling many flights to Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport in the last two days.
Now that the ban is lifted, the three US airlines that fly to Israel -- Delta, United and US Airways -- will need to decide when they will resume flights.
In a statement released late Wednesday evening, the FAA said it "worked with its U.S. Government counterparts to assess the security situation in Israel and carefully reviewed both significant new information and measures the government of Israel is taking to mitigate potential risks to civil aviation."
The Obama administration came under some criticism by a key pro-Israel lobbying group, and also Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz who had alleged the ban was put in place to pressure Israel to agree to a cease fire.
The charge was denied by US officials, including Deputy National Security Advisor Anthony Blinken who insisted to CNN's Wolf Blitzer that politics played no role in the decision.
"We didn't use the FAA to do anything. The FAA makes independent judgments for safety and security of our airline passengers and for our airlines," Blinken said. "They made a judgment and we're not in the business of second guessing the FAA or overturning what they do."
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg flew to Israel on El Al airlines as a show of support for Israel. Speaking to Blitzer, Bloomberg said he thought the FAA made a "mistake."
"We certainly don't want to stop flights into airports in America," he said. "It would be devastating for America. It's devastating for Israel when you stop flights."
The FAA said it is continuing to monitor the "very fluid situation around Ben Gurion Airport and will take additional actions, as necessary."
CNN's Rene Marsh and Mike Ahlers contributed to this report.

Hi cptdon. There is a post on Caldwell Heritage Museum's Facebook page asking this…
"Is there anyway I could purchase a copy of a movie that was made in Lenoir in the early 1940's. It used to show as a pre-show at the Center Theatre in Lenoir. It was about a girl that was kidnapped. I think it was called "My Gang" or possibly "Kidnapped"

In instructional videos I see on the internet, the teacher says "in the U.S and Canada, they automatically use police as plural noun", if it is already plural, then what's the singular of police?
Police is a plurale tantum, a word with no singular form.
Most of the time, if you'd like to talk about a single officer of the law, you say a police officer, or just an officer:
The latter sentence is fine if it's clear from context that you mean a police officer.
But in any case, you can't say *a police.
In this answer, the * symbol indicates that a phrase or sentence is ungrammatical.
When speaking of a particular police deparment/agency/service as a group, the singular form for the group will be something like "Police Department".
The police are coming through the door!
The actual term for a given police department is determined by the official name. For example, the Dallas Police Department or the University of Maryland Police Force.
Snailplane's answer is fine. But since you are asking about the singular term for the word police, it's...
So, as your title asks...

Motoman Robot Machine Loading
Aluminum Wheels
Met customer's machine loading requirements. 56-second cycle time achieved; over 6% faster than the 60-second requirement.
Project Challenges
- Provide flexible robotic system to accurately locate and handle cast aluminum wheels that weigh approximately 18-20 kg (40-45 lbs) and nominally measure 355 mm (14"), 381 mm (15"), 406 mm (16") and 432 mm (17") in diameter, each with up to five widths.
- Locate wheels to avoid flashing lines during clamping and also when wheels are chucked in lathes.
- Minimal manual changeover.
- Meet required cycle time of 60 seconds per wheel.
- Improve productivity and safety - reduce injuries and worker's compensation claims arising from repetitive movement of heavy wheels.
Motoman Robotics Solution
- Motoman Robotics provided a highly flexible robotic material handling solution, including:
- SK120 robot with MRC controller
- Off-the-shelf mechanical dual parallel wheel gripper with customized details
- Two Allen-Bradley SLC 5/04 PLCs. One controls infeed conveyor, integration with lathes and robot information. The second controls outfeed conveyor and elevator.
- Four remote PLC racks - one per lathe, one on infeed conveyor, plus MARIO card in MRC
- Two Customer supplied lathes. Lathe #1 turns back edge of the wheels and Lathe #2 turns front edge
- 2.4-m (8-ft) gravity roller reject conveyor 2.4-m (8-ft) belt-driven live roller (BDLR) infeed conveyor with three zones. Includes pneumatic stops, toggle escapement lever arms, cam followers to stop wheels, centering grippers, lift and rotate device, ultrasonic sensor to detect wheel tabs, and photo eye sensors to check wheel presence
- 30.4 m (100-ft) of ceiling-mounted Hytrol EZ Logic sensor-activated, zone-powered, BDLR conveyor in curved and straight sections
- Vertical conveyor (elevator) at end of outfeed conveyor that discharges wheels in opposite directions. Two tool boxes to hold chucks for the Okuma lathes. Tool box sensors check tool presence/absence against requirements of program selected
- Integrated work cell protection, including 2.4-m (8-ft) high wire fencing, two interlocked gates, photo eyes, and light curtains on elevator
Fixtures/Tooling Details
Motoman Robotics provided end-of-arm tooling, consisting of an off-the-shelf mechanical dual parallel wheel gripper body with customized details, including eight sets of roller details (two rollers per gripper finger). Motoman also provided pneumatic fixtures on the infeed conveyor that are used to stop, locate, center, lift and rotate wheels for orientation purposes. A continuous ultrasonic frequency sensor at the load station locates a tab common to each wheel casting. Locating pins on the pop-up device require manual changeover between wheel sizes, as do the chucks on the lathes.

The Miami Light Project is presenting a free screening of two films with a Cuban theme and a Q&A with the directors at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, @The Light Box at Goldman Warehouse.
The films are:
"Maestra," by Catherine Murphy. The documentary is about the young women who were part of Cuba's 1961 literacy campaign, when 250,000 volunteers, many under 18, went out to rural communities across the island to teach people to read — and found themselves deeply transformed in the process.
"Welcome to Miami" by Gina Cunnigham and Peter Eves. This is an 11-minute version of a longer 2002 documentary about the era when a county ordinance barred Cuban musicians from performing in Miami.
The Goldman Warehouse is at 404 NW 26th Street, Miami FL 33127. While the screening is free, reservations are requested.

Infant Murderer Sentenced
K2's Ophelia Young reports, firstname.lastname@example.com:
A judge handed down the sentence to a Mills man who murdered an infant this past April.
In September, Matthew Hankins entered an Alford Plea to second degree murder.
Police say he was high on weed and Xanax as he was taking care of a baby.
He then passed out and woke up to the baby's family screaming it was dead.
Today at his sentencing, Hankins told the judge he would give his life to have the baby's life back.
The judge gave Hankins 20 to 26 years in prison.
