PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 VOLUME 10 NUMBER 9 FULL MOON OF THE HARVEST OF RIPE THINGS SEPTEMBER 1,1980 WHO OWNS THE RAIN: Report From the Water Conference "The land is no damned good without water," is how Kesley Edmo, Council member for the Fort Hall Reservation, summarized the issue of Indian water rights at the Inter-Tribal Water Conference held in Portland, Oregon on August 1-2. 130 representatives from 12 northwest tribes whose reservations are in the Columbia River Drainage Basin - Burns - Paiute Indian Colony, Coeur d'Alene Tribe, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Kalispel Indian Community, Kootenai Tribe of the Idaho, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation, Spokane Tribe of Indians, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation,, Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakima Nation, and Con- federated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation - participated in the two-day conference entitled "Who Owns the Rain?". People from government agencies, the media and interested individuals brought the total attendance at the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commisssion sponsored conference to nearly 200. See related article on page four» The topic for the first session, federal water policy and tribal water, erupted into a dynamic and often heated exchange between implementators of council highlights Here are a few of the high spots from the August 15th and 22nd council meetings: August 15 — The Housing Rehabilitation Department underwent some streamlining of operations and will soon have a new director in the wake of John Vallee's resignation. Some preliminary ideas were voiced concerning changing the Division of Enforcement and Wildlife's name to include the concept of conservation. (This topic came up again at a later (Continued on page 3) federal water policy and tribal leaders. And after hearing from these planners and federal policy purveyors, the tribal participants had reason to believe that land without water is exactly the issue. Bearhead Swaney, council member for the Flathead Reservation, characterized the plans of water policy planners as, "in fact, schemes whose final outcome would be the taking of Indian water." Tribal members are concerned because the Carter Administration is pressing for action on determination of Indian water rights. Federal, state and local governments as well as private users want to know how much water is available in the future for power generation, irrigation, fish habitat, navigation, recreation, industrial development, mining and municipal water supplies.

McCrory signs 4 bills into North Carolina law
Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 9:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 9:03 p.m.
RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Pat McCrory signed four bills into law Wednesday, including a measure that prevents North Carolina for now from participating in two parts of the federal health care overhaul.
McCrory's office said the governor signed the legislation in the old Capitol building in Raleigh.
The press wasn't invited to attend the signings, but a spokeswoman for the governor said some legislators watched McCrory sign one new law that blocks the state from expanding Medicaid to cover more lower-income people and from operating an online health care marketplace. The federal government will run the exchange instead.
McCrory had already indicated he would sign the bill approved last week by fellow Republicans in the General Assembly, saying the state's Medicaid system needs to be fixed first before taking on any additional enrollees.
An estimated 500,000 low-income North Carolinians would have qualified for the government health insurance under the expansion. The federal government planned to cover 100 percent of the state's expansion costs through 2016, falling to 90 percent by 2020. GOP lawmakers said they couldn't trust Washington to keep its financial side of the bargain.
"My team conducted a thorough review of the Affordable Care Act and its impact on North Carolina," McCrory said in a prepared statement. "Before considering Medicaid expansion, we must reform the current system to make sure people currently enrolled receive the services they need and more taxpayer dollars are not put at risk."
Democrats and their allies said North Carolina was making a big mistake refusing federal Medicaid funds they said would ease the burden of charity care and create more than 20,000 jobs by 2021. Other states have been wrestling with whether to participate.
Another law signed by McCrory ensures group homes and Alzheimer's care units can access $40 million to deal with Medicaid coverage changes involving personal care services. Then-Gov. Beverly Perdue said late last year she believed a 2012 law only allowed residents of adult care homes to benefit from the money.
McCrory also signed legislation that will allow a live possum drop to continue on New Year's Eve in Brasstown by making clear the Wildlife Resources Commission could issue permits for such an event.
Another new law increases penalties for protests at funerals and the size and duration of buffer zones around services. The measure was a response to an anti-gay Kansas church picketing military funerals nationwide.

3 Opinions
Much better and easier to use than FontLab!
I wish they changed the application's name to "Glyph" instead of "Glyphs", since the latter, in my opinion, has an inherent phonetical complication between two fricatives â" the "f" fricative tailed by the (voiceless alveolar) sibilant fricative, "s" â" and is therefore much harder to pronounce.
"Glyphs" with an "s" in the end also reduces the literal/grammatical efficiency of the name, such as in possessive use.
In all fairness and seriousness, though, I think this app looks VERY interesting.
Hope that development stays strong on this. It is incredible promising, quite powerful already. Word needs to get out about Glyphs!

The Stanford basketball team -- the men's team -- is two wins from the Final Four.
Two wins.
Let that sink in for a minute.
The 10th-seeded Cardinal, which must beat No. 11 Dayton on Thursday and then either Florida or UCLA on Saturday, is participating in the NCAA tournament for the first time in six years.
It finished the regular season with a blowout loss to UCLA and was one of the last 10 teams invited to the tournament.
But after eliminating New Mexico and Kansas, the Cardinal has become one of those teams -- low seeds that get hot, catch a break, bust brackets and find themselves on the brink of college basketball's grand stage.
Were Stanford in any other region, the challenge ahead would be daunting. The Sweet 16 teams in the East, West and Midwest are too talented, the matchups all wrong. (As we see time and again, matchups are more important than seeds once the madness begins.)
The South, on the other hand, provides Stanford with a manageable road to the national semifinals in Arlington, Texas.
It could happen, folks. It really could.
The Cardinal has a veteran team, with two seniors, two redshirt juniors and a true junior in the starting lineup. It also possesses a huge, versatile frontline and more talent than casual observers might think.
Stanford had two players voted first-team all-Pac-12 (forward Dwight Powell and guard Chasson Randle). The only other teams that can make that claim are Arizona, the No. 1 seed in the West, and UCLA, the No. 4 in the South.
In addition, Cardinal forward Josh Huestis was named to the all-defensive team for the second year in a row, and wing Anthony Brown was voted the league's most improved player after missing 2012-13 with an injury.
Pac-12 coaches were well aware of Stanford's talent. The vexing issue for the Cardinal and its fans in recent years was the disconnect between raw ability and results.
Stanford's late-season stumble (four losses in its last seven games) actually worked in its favor. Instead of being a No. 8 or 9 seed in the same pod as a No. 1, it was awarded a No. 10 and grouped with a vulnerable No. 2, Kansas.
To its credit, the Cardinal took advantage -- first by out-slogging New Mexico and then by confounding the young Jayhawks, who were without the nation's most dominant center, Joel Embiid.
Now the veteran team with talented pieces has coalesced at just the right time in just the right region.
Dayton is not to be overlooked; it toppled Ohio State and Syracuse, after all. But the Flyers don't have the size to match Stanford up front or the elite playmakers to score consistently against the Cardinal's rangy defense.
If Stanford handles Dayton's pressure, it should advance to the Elite Eight.
What happens next?
The Cardinal knows it can beat the Bruins because it did so a month ago in Maples Pavilion. But the two games away from home did not go well: Stanford lost by 17 at UCLA and by 25 in the Pac-12 tournament.
Its best hope might be to catch the Bruins in an elated, post-Florida frame of mind in which they assume victory over the Cardinal, failing to realize Stanford isn't the same team it was just a few weeks ago.
(That's not an unreasonable scenario, by the way: UCLA has left its sense of urgency on the bus several times this season, most recently in an 18-point loss to Washington State a few weeks ago.)
Florida hasn't lost since early December and is the tournament's No. 1 overall seed because of its balance and efficiency on both ends of the court.
But the Gators aren't particularly big, they aren't loaded with NBA talent, and they don't play the frenetic style of defense that befuddles Stanford.
Either way -- whether it's Florida or UCLA -- the Cardinal's road to the Final Four is difficult but hardly treacherous.

For the week ending March 3, 2013, many areas of Kansas received much needed moisture with the East Central and Southeastern Districts receiving the heaviest amounts according to USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, Kansas Field Office.
The snow melt has improved the soil moisture levels in some areas of the state and stock ponds are showing slight improvement, although more moisture is still needed.
Spring calving has started around the state.
Topsoil moisture supplies were rated as 18 percent very short, 31 percent short, 42 percent adequate, and 9 percent surplus. Kansas subsoil moisture supplies were rated as 46 percent very short, 37 percent short, 16 percent adequate, and 1 percent surplus.
With the snow cover, producers only averaged 0.9 days suitable for fieldwork last week.

Fish starts off with an announcement about a friend biking across country, wow! "Now it's time to play." Great Maze right off the top, really rocking. Sparkle has had much better control the past few shows. Foam was pretty good, just kind of average, but dynamic. Punch is getting much better, more like we are used to hearing it now. Fee seemed to false start and was just ok, with some rough Mike parts. ATR was good and fast clocking in at less than three minutes. Melt seemed just average tonight. Fluff had Trey off in the Travels for a bit, but the whole song overall was good. Divided had some rough spots from Mike and then Trey, but by the end it rocked hard. Cavern also had some troubles from Mike's end and wrapped up a pretty good first set.
You can hear at least one guy in the crowd that knows who Wilson is as we continue with sloppy Mike parts in this one. Fishman gives another free snare drum clinic during a good, solid Jim. Mound was good, as was Tweezer. Trey needed to tune up during a funny Horse moment. Silent was much better in the timing of Fish's beat and Page's vocals. Then the Ball Jam... YEM was also much better than the last shows fiasco was. Good jam and vocal jam, leading us into an Oh Kee Pa. A few off spots in the Ceremony and then a little rushed going into a pretty good Suzy. Fish comes out to do another Gig in the Sky. This one's not bad if you can handle Fishman sections. Tweeprise rocks and was expected as a closer or encore.
Grace is dedicated to the bus driver tonight after the shushing and a speedy Rocky Top takes us home on a high note.
If Mike had a better night this could easily be a five star show, but I've got to stick with four on this one.

The following is an excerpt from our 2013 Annual Report: A Recipe for Success.
Donna Baker is a cancer and MRSA survivor. Unable to walk, she also has COPD. These conditions have meant considerable hospital time for Donna. Of her time spent at Gifford, two faces are particularly memorable: inpatient nurse Shane Parks and radiology technologist Ben Cronan.
"Shane is a very good nurse. He's very thorough and you feel confident when you're with him … . When I would have trouble breathing, it would scare me and he would stay there until I calmed down."
"Ben, I pick on him. When I would need chest X-rays, I would be on a stretcher. He would get right on up on the stretcher. He would like give me a hug around my arms and pull me forward, so (an image receptor could be placed under) me."
~ Donna Baker

GILROY -- Robert Guerrero has a favorite theme park ride -- the "Top Gun" roller coaster at Great America.
He really should ride it about a million times before this weekend. It might prepare him for what lies ahead. No Bay Area athlete's life will change more over the next two months.
Guerrero, the boxing champ who has managed to win five different world championships without drawing much attention, is going to get all of it he wants between now and May 4. He recently signed a deal to fight Floyd Mayweather, the undefeated welterweight title holder as well as the largest attention-getting moneymaker in his sport.
The two will meet in Las Vegas, at the MGM Grand, on Cinco De Mayo weekend. Guerrero, of Mexican-American heritage, sees that as a plus.
"I expect the crowd to be on my side," Guerrero said. "There are so many fans who want to see Floyd lose."
That's probably true. Mayweather has a legendary big mouth full of insults and last year spent two months in jail for domestic abuse. He's not a warm and fuzzy fellow. But that's fine with Guerrero, who waited years to participate in a fight of this magnitude. He can't wait to discover what particular invective Mayweather might hurl at him.
"I don't know what he'll talk about," Guerrero said. "Maybe he'll make fun of my ears that stick out? He'll come up with something. You don't know what he'll ever say. One minute he's nice, the next he's not. Maybe he's a like a woman who gets mood swings."
Guerrero smiled impishly. He was eating lunch with some of his Gilroy pals at the Denny's restaurant near the city's outlet shopping center. Guerrero knows that in this matchup, he will be cast as the cowboy on the white horse. And deservedly so. He is the humble, religious son of Gilroy parents. As a husband, Guerrero once put his boxing career on hold for more than a year to be with wife Casey as she underwent a successful bone marrow transplant to treat her leukemia. She's doing well and remains cancer free.
Also, Guerrero doesn't have a large and flashy entourage.
"You're looking at it," Guerrero said with a nod at his buddies and co-manager Robert Santos. "Well, plus one. My dad."
You can expect that the good-vs.-evil storyline will be emphasized to the max between now and the May 4 bout, which will be a Showtime pay-per-view event. This is a very huge deal. Given the status of Mayweather, it's the biggest fight for any Bay Area pugilist since 1976, when Texas native George Foreman was based in the Bay Area and met fellow heavyweight Joe Frazier on Long Island. And if you're talking strictly about fighters born in Northern California, this could be the biggest bout since lightweight champ Willie Ritchie of San Francisco traveled to London in 1919 to confront challenger Freddie Welsh.
Back then, of course, there was no Twitter or YouTube to help pump up the gate. Guerrero is leaving soon for a promotional tour. There will be a cable television series leading up to fight. And because Showtime is a division of CBS, you can probably expect to see plenty of Mayweather-Guerrero references during NCAA March Madness telecasts.
Is Guerrero ready for all this? He says he is. Between promotional trips, he plans to train in Gilroy until mid-March before going to Las Vegas for his final prep work. He's still scouting out gyms there. But he is happiest here at home.
"I was born and raised in Gilroy," Guerrero said. "I stay here because . . . hey, I'm in the biggest fight of the year and I'm sitting here in Denny's with nobody bothering me. Everyone knows me here. They treat me like a normal person, not someone special. They know my family and make me feel comfortable. When you beat somebody like Floyd Mayweather, maybe that's when you've got to make a decision about that kind of stuff."
Notice that he said "when," not "if."
Guerrero will not be favored to beat Mayweather, who just agreed to a six-fight deal with Showtime that could pay him as much as $250 million. There's no way that Mayweather expects to lose the first of those six fights -- and no way that Showtime wants him to lose it. But there are many in boxing circles who believe Guerrero has a legitimate shot to win. Last November, he was very impressive in beating former welterweight champ Andre Berto. Guerrero, who will turn 30 next month, is also six years younger than Mayweather.
Interestingly, Guerrero's contract for the May 4 event also contains a rematch clause -- not typical for Mayweather.
"When he wanted a rematch clause," said Santos, "that's when I knew that he knew he was in for a tough fight."
So far, the two men have shaken hands just once. They met in person for the first and only time in 2006, when Guerrero was on the undercard of Mayweather's bout against Carlos Baldomir.
"He came up and congratulated me on my title," Guerrero said.
Then, Guerrero was fighting as a featherweight while Mayweather was defending his welterweight title. The two classes are more than 20 pounds apart. There didn't seem much likelihood the two would ever meet in the ring. But Guerrero has gradually beefed up and collected more championship belts along the way. None, however, were in the glamour weight categories with the glamour paydays. And so Guerrero began calling out Mayweather and asking for a fight.
"Pretty much, he didn't want to know me," Guerrero said. "Pretty much his whole career, he's stayed away from guys like me."
But for whatever reason, Mayweather (43-0, 26 knockouts) agreed to the matchup this time. He could well be ripe for a defeat. Mayweather didn't train during his jail time. And Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs) has not been shy about mentioning the age difference and saying there has been "slippage" in his leg speed.
"I've been watching him his whole career," Guerrero said. "I remember first seeing him when he was at the Olympics in 1996 and I was 13 years old. I saw that and knew that's what I wanted to do, was box. Floyd is a very intelligent guy in the ring. That's why he's been able to get away with losing it a little bit."
He hasn't lost anything financially. According to Showtime's press release, Mayweather's latest agreement with the network is the "richest individual athlete deal in all of sports" -- even though the details are "contractually confidential." Guerrero's cut is also confidential. So it could all be typical boxing hooey. On the other hand, financial records of Mayweather's past fights do exist. And his fight with Miguel Cotto last year, also on Cinco De Mayo weekend, grossed more than $90 million. That's why, when Guerrero first saw one of Mayweather's wild rants, the initial reaction wasn't shock.
"It was more like, 'There goes another guy acting like a nutcase,' " Guerrero said. "But I give him this -- he sells it. That's why he's the highest paid athlete in the world."
Guerrero then stood up to leave the restaurant. But it should be noted that before he exited the Denny's front door, a local resident did indeed come up and bother him. Sort of.
"Do it for us in May, Guerrero," the man said.
Guerrero nodded and smiled. He looked more than ready to ride the roller coaster.

Help Congress to understand

Would someone please buy dictionaries for our illustrious congressmen and senators in Washington who want to raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires?
Inform them that the amount $250,000 does not appear in either definition.
We wouldn't want them to sound stupid.
Call these people and remind them that when taxes are raised first, spending cuts never follow — never, ever. Perhaps that will remind them that we're not stupid.
Demand as well that before they even think about raising our taxes, the IRS must go after the tax cheats in our government.
Federal workers nationwide owe over a billion dollars in back taxes.
The Federal Employee and Retiree Delinquency Inventory itemizes:
- President Obama's aides — $833,970.
Employees at:
- The EPA — more than $19 million dollars.
- The FDIC — more than $3 million dollars.
- The U.S. tax court — $62,508.
- On Capital Hill — $9 million.
Where is the IRS?
I know where they would be if I shirked paying my taxes. President Obama wants us to pay our "fair share."
Mr. President, start in your own backyard.
And, by the way, spending cuts first.

Where do you stand on the political spectrum?..TAKE THE TEST
A mate of mine told me about this site, if your interested in politics its heavy.
The conventional spectrum of Left and Right is purely economic but most people confuse it with the left being more libertarian and the right being more authoritarian. Its more to do with how the economy is controlled such as State controlled economies are on the left but neo-liberal free market economies (cunts...uh hum) are on the right...
Anyway, fuck it take the test
Its mad interesting man, asks you a list of questions and from your responses places you on a more acurate grid that has an axis based on economics (Left + Right) and then a vertical axis with Authoritarians at the top and libertarians at the bottom.
Ive always been a bit of a Marxist, feeling Gandhi's antics and the general virtues of equality and freedom (Freedom for the masses, not just for the fuckers who own the multi-nationals and fuck over the third world just so they can sell their damn frappicinos for £4).
I was cacking me pants incase I turned out to be on some Hitler tip but its all good... Libertarian left...
What about the rest of you fine folk? Where abouts do you stand?
Take the test.

I'm surprised I'm not considered more right wing economically... but I am healthily libertarian, so I'm happy enough with the result.

I was at the same place as the Dalai Lama. Like -5.39 or something. Middle of the lower left square. That test was pretty cool.
p.s- did anyone else find it interesting that Robert Mugabe and Hitler were almost the same spot on the chart. Fuck Mugabe.

How can they guage anything with a "strongly disagree, disagree, agree, strongly disagree" format?? I either agree or disagree, ok? If I strongly agree or disagree on a test then I am delving into pretense, seriously. Plus, those questions are so loaded and at times pedantic as fuck. Aliens in UFOS look down on shit like this, for real. They are up there watching us waste fifteen minutes of our finite lives on this crap and they go "well, hmmm, that is fucking retarded"

Fun show and again a freezing cold phish event. I stayed at my cousins in Kingston RI as she was at URI with all her grlfriends. I came up with some of my buddies and we lit the place up and partied hard this night. It was a decent ride to the show and amazingly-it was sold out! I was like wtf?...sold out? The tour manager had us all show an ID and then we were let in the back way...place was packed and the heat was blasting as it was hot inside. Winter coats and hats everywhere and the bar was slammed. I sort of had abad trip actually and wandered around most of the show but really enjoyed it. widespread was cool and then Phish tore it up. I recall parking the car and then leaving but not much else...highway to hell to close was sort of eire and dark and frankly I was ready to leave

In keeping with my practice of not just rating the music, but also considering the quality of the recording in these shows from the spreadsheet, I have to go one star for this. The guitar and bass are so low in the mix that when Page and Fishman are playing, you can't hear them at all. If you want to hear what Page sounds like in isolation, I would listen to this recording. But if you want to hear some Phish, look elsewhere. Until a better recording surfaces, I'll have to go with 1 star.

During the past few years, regulatory agencies have placed an increased emphasis on pharmaceutical process understanding. The US Food and Drug Administration's Pharmaceutical CGMPs for the 21st Century—A Risk Based Approach describes how combining a focus on process understanding with a structured risk-assessment process can help develop control strategies that enhance process robustness (1). Similar concepts are also discussed in ICH Q8 Pharmaceutical Development and International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Q9 Quality Risk Management (2, 3). Collectively, these principles are described as "quality by design" (QbD). As defined by Janet Woodcock in 2004, "QbD means that product and process performance characteristics are scientifically designed to meet specific objectives, not merely empirically derived from performance of test batches." This article describes how the principles of QbD being developed for manufacturing processes can equally well be applied to ensure that analytical tests methods and process analytical technology (PAT) are robust, as defined by ICH Q2(R1), and rugged, as defined by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) (4, 5).
The examples in this article are based on chromatographic and PAT methods to support new-product development. Nonetheless, the concepts can be applied to any method type and can be used to improve the reliability of established methods. As the principles described in this article bring fundamental method understanding, the adoption of this approach will reduce manufacturing resources involved with investigating out-of-specification results as well as increase the confidence in analysis testing cycle times. They also lay the foundations for less regulatory oversight of method changes, which should facilitate innovation and continuous improvement.Processes must meet current good manufacturing practices to ensure drug products meet safety and efficacy requirements (7). Traditionally, this requirement has been met by performing process validation studies on three batches. It has been recognized that this approach is unlikely to fully represent routine manufacture and unlikely to cover all potential sources of variability (e.g., raw materials, operators, shifts, reactor vessels). Moheb Nasr, director of the Office of New Drug Quality Assessment at FDA, has identified this issue as a challenge to the regulatory process and has stated that there is currently a "focus on process validation and not process understanding" (8).
In a similar way, the traditional approach to analytical method validation described in ICH Q2(R1) and analytical method transfer represents a one-off evaluation of the method and does not provide a high level of assurance of method reliability. The limited understanding of a method obtained through these traditional approaches has often led to it passing the technology transfer exercise (by chance) from development into use in commercial manufacturing facilities. In reality a significant method variable had not been fully explored, thereby leading to method failure some months post-transfer. Even when transfers have failed (the more desirable scenario if the method is poor, enabling issues to be identified), significant resources are often required to attempt to remedy the causes of the transfer failure, usually at a time when there is considerable pressure to support the introduction and launch of a new product. Both of these scenarios are undesirable and would be recognized in many pharmaceutical analysis laboratories as significant issues.

NEW YORK -- Matt Cain is listening to his elbow and three respected doctors, and they're all telling him the same thing. It's time to have surgery.
While the Giants haven't made a final decision, Cain likely will have the bone chips in his right elbow removed in the coming weeks. The procedure would end Cain's season and sideline him for at least three months. Cain played catch Friday and said he wants to see how his arm feels this weekend, but manager Bruce Bochy conceded that the throwing session was not a precursor to Cain trying to get back on the field.
"If you're putting odds on it, odds are going to be that he will not pitch," Bochy said. "This will give him the weekend to decide who's going to (do the surgery) and when."
While surgery would keep Cain on the sidelines down the stretch, he did actually end up getting good news this week. Two noted doctors, James Andrews and David Altchek, agreed with the evaluation by Giants orthopedist Dr. Ken Akizuki that Cain does not have any ligament damage. Tommy John surgery likely would have put Cain out until the 2016 season, but he can have the bone chips removed now and still be back in time for spring training next year.
Cain, 29, said he has pitched through bone chips for 10 years and that "there is a good bit of" loose fragments in his elbow. They finally became too much of an impediment, and the Giants put him on the disabled list July 21.
"They've always been there," Cain said of the bone chips. "It's just that now they're mad and they're letting me know about it. For some reason, they got in a different spot and they got aggravated."
Cain is a three-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion. He has 95 career wins and a 3.39 ERA in 10 years in the big leagues, but his numbers tailed off this season. Cain had a 4.18 ERA in 15 starts with a diminished strikeout rate and increased walk rate.
The Giants will miss his ability to soak up innings and perform on the game's biggest stage. Cain has a 2.10 ERA in eight career postseason appearances. Bochy said Cain's injury is a big blow to the team but quickly added: "Fortunately, Jake Peavy was available to help soften that."
The Giants traded for Peavy when it became clear that Cain likely would not pitch again this season. They're hoping they won't need a fill-in in future years. Cain is owed $20 million in each of the next three seasons, and the club holds a $21 million option for the 2018 season. General manager Brian Sabean said he expects to have a healthy Cain in the fold when he approaches the upcoming offseason.
"Off the top of my head, I would say it probably wouldn't (alter the offseason plan)," Sabean said. "But again, nothing has happened yet."

How One Couple Lost More Than 280 Pounds
Robert and Jessica Foster gave themselves a major makeover
That's more than a whole person between them!
Robert Foster had always been heavy (he jokingly owned a tee that said "I bit anorexia") and said that he got fed up with being too overweight to care for his four young girls. Jessica said she was motivated to lose weight after a family member said that "she used to be something to look at. Not anymore." How rude.
RELATED" Great Workout Tips For Women
Once the couple decided to get healthy the weight started coming off fast. Jessica started with Zumba classes and Robert took on tennis. They both started eating less. The pair began training for a 5-kilometer race together in December of 2012 and that motivated Robert to really push his exercise regimen into overdrive. And they got way better at eating healthy, too. One of their favorite tricks: Shopping only at the perimeter aisles at the grocery store, where all the fresh fruit and veggies and meats are.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – For the second consecutive year, the University of Pikeville women's basketball team is leading an effort to collect supplies for those in need.
At its games this weekend, the Bears will offer free admission to three basketball games to anyone who brings a child's blanket or a new stuffed animal to the games. After they've been collected, members of the team will take the items to Judi's Place for Kids, which helps those who suffer from child abuse.
The home games are as follows:
Dec. 7 vs. Morris College at 7 p.m.
Dec. 8 vs. Virginia Intermont College at 2 p.m.
Both games will be played at the UPIKE Gym.
"We are very pleased to be able to contribute in some way to Judi's Place," said Bill Watson, who is in his 16th season as head coach of the women's basketball team. "It is our hope that someday these organizations will not be necessary, but we hope to be able to brighten the Christmas season of these children with the help of our community."
"This is exactly the types of things we need our student-athletes involved in," said Dr. Reginald Overton, director of athletics at UPIKE. "We need to show them that there will always be those in their communities who need a little boost and there's always a way to help meet those needs. I'm proud of the team and coaching staff for stepping up and helping Judi's Place."
Judi's Place for Kids is located at 128 South College Street in Pikeville.

9.6 Introduction to Computer Crimes
Revised to December 1, 2007
Section 53a-251 defines six different computer crimes. Sections 53a-252 through 53a-256 specify the degrees of the crimes, which generally depend on the value of the property or services obtained without authorization or the damages to the services or property. Third degree, defined in § 53a-254, also applies when a defendant commits any of the computer crimes and recklessly creates a risk of serious physical injury to another person.
The computer crimes in this section include:
§ 53a-251 (b) -- Unauthorized access to a computer system.
§ 53a-251 (c) -- Theft of computer services.
§ 53a-251 (d) -- Interruption of computer services.
§ 53a-251 (e) -- Misuse of computer system information.
§ 53a-251 (f) -- Destruction of computer equipment.
Because of the complexity of the technology used in committing these crimes, the instructions will have to be narrowly tailored to the facts of each case.

AUSTIN (October 25, 2012)--Attorney General Greg Abbott delivered a strong message Thursday to poll watchers affiliated with United Nations who want to come and observe voting on Election Day—don't mess with Texas.
The squabble started after Abbott wrote to the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe, threatening to prosecute any of its members who come near a polling location.
The OSCE wants to come to Texas this year, as it has to poll locations across the U.S. since 2002.
The group calls Abbott's threat "unacceptable" in a letter to the State Department. Abbott on Thursday tweeted his response: "BRING IT."
The State Department says it has reassured Texas that OSCE will follow state election laws.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- The agonizing task of laying to rest the victims of last week's elementary school shooting continued in Connecticut today.
Back-to-back funerals were held at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Newtown for first-graders James Mattioli and Jessica Rekos. They were the first of eight to be held in the coming days at the church.
James was said to have loved recess and math and was described by his family as a "numbers guy" who couldn't wait until he was old enough to order a foot-long Subway sandwich.
Traffic in front of the church slowed to a crawl as police directed vehicles into the church parking lot. At one point, a school bus carrying elementary students got stuck in traffic -- the children pressing their faces into the windows, sadly watching at the mourners assembled.
The first service had not yet concluded when mourners began arriving for the funeral of Jessica. She loved horses and was counting the years until she turned 10, when her family had promised her a horse of her own.

Types of Allergies, Causes and Triggers
An allergy is a pervasive disorder of the immune system that affects over 50 million Americans. It's an inflammatory response to an offending substance (allergen), usually either eaten or inhaled. Common allergens include airborne pollutants, pollens, mold spores, dust, chemicals, animal dander and foods.
Some individuals are more sensitive to seasonal allergies that tend to creep up during the warmer months. Others are troubled by allergies all year long; these more chronic allergies are often caused by environmental factors that are present all the time, such as animal dander, dust and foods.
There are five basic types of allergic or hypersensitivity reactions:
Type 1: Immediate (a.k.a. atopic, or anaphylactic)
Type 2: Antibody-dependent (cytotoxic)
Type 3: Immune complex
Type 4: Cell-mediated (or delayed)
Type 5: Stimulatory
This article focuses on Type I hypersensitivity reaction, which takes place immediately when the body is re-exposed to an allergen through inhalation, injection or ingestion. The body then releases the chemical histamine (among other things). This causes an inflammatory response, leading to a reaction within seconds or minutes.
Type 1 allergic reactions can be mild to life threatening. Common Type 1 allergic symptoms include:
- Sneezing, coughing, runny nose and itchy eyes
- Rashes such as eczema, hives or contact dermatitis
- Headaches, fatigue, ear blockages or frequent sore throat
The more severe and anaphylactic reactions include wheezing, shortness of breath, swelling, tightening of the throat (bronchoconstriction), coma, and even death.
Allergies can sometimes lead to other health problems, including acne, eczema, asthma, gastrointestinal disorders, chronic ear infections, depression and irritability.
Identifying Your Allergens
Your doctor or an allergy specialist can help you identify the cause of your allergies. Several tests may also be performed to identify the offending allergens. The "scratch" or "skin prick" testing method involves injecting allergens either beneath the skin or into small scratches made on the skin. Your body's reaction may range from mild irritation to full-blown hives. Radioallergosorbent, or RAST, blood testing may also be performed. This type of test measures levels of antibodies (IgE and IgG) produced by the body's immune system. With the RAST test, the blood is testing within a laboratory setting and no actual antigens are introduced into the body.
One way to get a better idea of whether or not a food may be causing your allergic symptoms is to keep a journal of your food intake along with any symptoms that you are experiencing. Doing this for at least one week can give you and your doctor or nutritionist a better idea of where to begin your treatment.
Preventing Symptoms
Prevention begins by getting rid of or avoiding exposure to your known allergens, which can provide natural allergy relief.
If your allergies are triggered by dust and dander:
- Eliminate carpet from your home and switch to hard-surface floors.
- Choose dust-proof mattress and pillow covers; bedding harbors dustmites and dustmite waste, a common culprit in allergy symptoms.
- Wash all fabrics and beddings in hot water with hypoallergenic laundry detergent.
- Try to eliminate damp areas in your home that can promote the growth of mold. A dehumidifier may be useful.
If it's not possible to totally avoid an allergen, you can at least try to limit your exposure to it. For example, stay indoors when the pollen count is high, and use an air conditioner.
If you're prone to food allergies, keep meals simple. Overloading an already challenged respiratory system may be what puts you over the edge.
Simplify your meals: Don't eat too many different food families at one sitting, or it may be difficult to determine what is worsening your symptoms.
- If you know you are allergic to the ragweed family, try avoiding chamomile, cantaloupe, banana and watermelon.
- Those allergic to tree pollens may want to avoid apples, cherries and peaches.
- For some people, honey can be a problem if they are sensitive to the pollen in the honey.
- Red wine may cause a problem because of the sulfites and the histamine content.
Alternatives to Synthetic Allergy Drugs
Antihistamine and decongestant medicines are meant to block the histamine reaction causing the allergic symptoms. In more severe cases, steroid inhalant sprays may be recommended.
But you may not have to face a lifetime of taking pharmaceuticals. Many allergy sufferers find effective natural allergy relief in herbal or alternative supplements.
- Quercetin and vitamin C can act as natural antihistamines.
- Parsley can also inhibit the secretion of histamine.
- Ginkgo biloba contains chemicals that may block platelet activating factor (PAF), which plays a role in triggering allergies.
- To decrease the inflammation often associated with allergy symptoms, anti-inflammatory herbs like ginger, turmeric and Boswellia may be considered.
Consult your doctor before using any health treatment — including herbal supplements and natural remedies — and tell your doctor if you have a serious medical condition or are taking any medications.

The Jonny Mogambo Band, a four-piece funk, rock, rhythm and groove outfit, will make its only public appearance in the Vail Valley this season at the Vail Ale House Friday night. In the past in Vail the Jonny Mogambo band has opened for Buckwheat Zydeco for CarniVail and the Greyboy Allstars for the Spring Back to Vail music series, and played numerous shows throughout the club scene.
The band plays everything from rock 'n' roll and funk jams to their own Colorado-inspired originals. Jonny Mogambo will be joined by his band members, some of the hottest players on the Colorado scene, including: Dan Schwindt on bass guitar who many know as the guitarist from the Kyle Hollingsworth Band and Kyle Comerford on drums (Sally Taylor, The Reejers). The band will joined by special guest, female vocalist Kelsey Sheba. Sheba is part of the spectacular female vocalist scene happeing on the Front Range.
The band will highlight music from its newest CD, released last April, titled "Jonny Mogambo Band Best of...So Far," including songs like "Telluride," "Party Goin' On" and "Dinner in Paradise." The songs tell stories of life in Colorado and on the road. There are also politically charged themes in some of the music that continue to be relevant today.
"This band has been coast to coast in the last year playing private parties and clubs along the way," Mogambo said. "This is a well-defined, tight band that brings years of experience and delivers a high-energy mix of funk, rock, rhythm and blues with influences of jazz, bluegrass, ska and reggae thrown in."
Members of this band have shared the stage with the likes of Nelson Rangell, John Popper of Blues Traveler, James Taylor, Los Lobos, Jimmy Buffet, Everclear, Edwin McCain and the Violent Femmes to name a few. The band has released six original records together and you can get them all and further information at www.JonnyMobambo.com or www.AllOccasionsMusic.com.

Definition of egalitarian in English:
- This probably reflects a primitive form of egalitarian society.
- That is not the kind of egalitarian base on which Australians would want to see their taxation system working.
- Sure, there were times when Australia was definitely a much more economically egalitarian society.
- Labour's long-term supporters, ethical socialists, public service workers, egalitarians and anti-monarchists, trade unionists and pacifists, were harder to deal with.
- This ideologically diverse group is made up of cultural pessimists, environmentalists, traditionalists, egalitarians, and technophobes.
- Given this shared commitment to material equality, do socialists and liberal egalitarians share the same account of justice?
Late 19th century: from French égalitaire, from égal 'equal', from Latin aequalis (see equal).
equal from Late Middle English:
A word that came from Latin aequus, which is also at the root of adequate (early 17th century), equable (mid 17th century), equanimity (early 17th century), equate (Middle English), equity (Middle English), equivalent (Late Middle English) 'of equal worth', equator (Late Middle English) the circle where day and night are equal, iniquity (Middle English), and, via French, egalitarian (late 19th century). George Orwell's political satire Animal Farm (1945) is the source of the quotation 'All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.' Another historic use of equal is from the American Declaration of Independence (1776): 'We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their creator, with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'

The convergence of the historiographical misrepresentations
13.140 Historians are human: they make mistakes, misread and misconstrue documents and overlook material evidence. I have found that, in numerous respects, Irving has misstated historical evidence; adopted positions which run counter to the weight of the evidence; given credence to unreliable evidence and disregarded or dismissed credible evidence. It appears to me that an analysis of those instances may shed light on the question whether Irving's misrepresentation of the historical evidence was deliberate.
13.141 I have found that most of the Defendants' historiographical criticisms of Irving set out in section V of this judgement are justified. In the vast majority of those instances the effect of what Irving has written has been to portray Hitler in a favourable light and to divert blame from him onto others. I have held that this is unjustified by the evidence. Examples include Irving's portrayal of Hitler's conduct and attitude towards the events of Kristallnacht and the importance attached by Irving to Hitler's attitude towards the Jewish question as he claims is evidenced by the Schlegelberger note. I have seen no instance where Irving has misinterpreted the evidence or misstated the facts in a manner which is detrimental to Hitler. Irving appears to take every opportunity to exculpate Hitler. The same is true of the broader criticism made by the Defendants' of Irving's unwarrantedly favourable depiction of Hitler in regard to his attitude towards the Jews, which criticism I have found in section VI above to be justified. Irving sought in his writings to distance Hitler from the programme of shooting Jews in the East and from the later genocide in the death camps in a manner which the evidence did not warrant. Irving has argued, unjustifiably as I have found, that the evidence indicates that Hitler was unaware of any programme for the extermination of Jews at Auschwitz. In his account of the bombing of Dresden Irving (as I have found in section X1 above) persistently exaggerates the number of casualties, so enabling him to make comparisons between the number of civilians killed in Allied bombing raids with the number of Jews killed in the camps.
13.142 In my opinion there is force in the opinion expressed by Evans that all Irving's historiographical "errors" converge, in the sense that they all tend to exonerate Hitler and to reflect Irving's partisanship for the Nazi leader. If indeed they were genuine errors or mistakes, one would not expect to find this consistency. I accept the Defendants' contention that this convergence is a cogent reason for supposing that the evidence has been deliberately slanted by Irving.

Parents and neighbors worry a new drug and alcohol treatment facility across from Martinez Elementary may be dangerous. And you may not realize, one of these places may be just down the street from you. Crime Team 12 has more on why police say these areas should not be near children, and why you may never know which house near you is home to recovering addicts.
It's a place where women can go to get a second change. Hope House Clinical Director Larry Mitchum helps women beat addiction. His success rate for graduates of his one-year program is ninety percent.
"We don't just get them clean and sober, we get them back on the road of life," Mitchum said,
Lieutenant Jimmy Young says that, in the last five years, Richmond County has only responded to a handful of minor crimes at treatment homes. They range from simple battery to theft.
"The biggest concern is who we're gonna have in our neighborhood," Young said.
One of his biggest worries is patients police describe as mentally incompetent.
"It's probably not the kind of thing you would want right next door to a school playground," Young said.
This is exactly why almost 400 concerned neighbors signed a petition against the new home across from Martinez Elementary. Worried neighbor John Murrell shared his concern at Tuesday night's Columbia County commission meeting.
"That there's some supervision on the part of the new business," Murrell said.
Security is tight here at Hope House. The entire property is gated in, and someone is on guard round the clock to guard the property.
Zoning laws say any treatment house with more than six people needs to get permission from the county. But with fewer than six, they are considered a mixed residence, a home just like yours, maybe even your neighbor.
"Getting someone clean and sober, then sending them back into the same environment puts them at high risk," Mitchum said.
He says treatment centers like his are necessary. You could be in bigger danger if they never get treated at all.
So do you live near one of these places? If it's a non-profit or fewer than six live there, your county may not have a record that it exists. News 12 uncovered at least nine listings in Richmond County, two in Columbia County and three in Aiken County.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
Early buys...PLEASE!!!!!!
Every freakin year they wait almost to the end to wrap up deals that at times fall through. What the hell is Levy waiting for? You have needs, pull the damn trigger on a deal early and give us fans a break. The added stress is not good for me.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I am sure we are not the only fans frustrated with not making enough early moves BUT we do have more reason to be so. Every year we go through this but this year I would argue the need is more than before. Adebyor is just too lazy and not bothered plus he missed several easy chances last year which, had he taken them, would have seen us finish above where we did. Defoe is a natural goal scorer IMO but he cannot lead the line on his own. If ever a player needed another striker to play off, its Defoe. The problem is we wait and wait and wait to see who is available, who else is in for them, how much we can shave off the fee or how little we can get away with paying them and far more often than not, we lose out. In the end we end up either not buying when we need to (last January was classic) or we end up with a few unwanted players like Demebele and Dempsey (Unwanted by anyone else although that is subjective as I am sure Fulham didn't want to lose them and teams like QPR would have loved to get them). What we don't do is but a player that is high on our wish list and pay early at the going price. Given the very high number of midfielders on out books, and I have no idea if Paulinho is going to be great or not, did we really need to splash what money Levy is prepared to use on ANOTHER midfielder? Making chances is not our problem. Having someone on the end of those chances to put them away is. If we stay as we are with the strikers we have I really cannot see us being anywhere other than 5th to 8th come next season and even that depends on Bale having yet another storming season.

Sfer, I agree in essence with what your saying, but seeing as were trying to off-load Parker- Huddlestone- Livermore, and the fact Bentley has gone and Jenas will unlikely be back at the club ( thank god ), then I think Paulinho is a good type of MF to get. I must admit I haven't seen a lot of him, and it's always a question of will he fit in, in EPL as with all players from abroad, but what I have seen is a player who looks to get in the box and has an eye for goal. apart from needing strikers, we desperately need a goalscoring mid-fielder ( hopefully in the Lampard mould ) who will score 10 or more season, so I can understand the frustration of spending that sort of money on MF when we would all rather see strikers coming in, but I'm sure it's going to happen this time, and think we would of got Villa had he not wanted to go to AC because Barca accepted a lot less than we were offering. I also agree if we stay with what were got, I cant see us getting in the first six, but when the window shuts it will be interesting to make a list of all our predictions and see if people think we have strength and quality in depth to mount a challenge on top 4 and not just judge on our starting 11.
A Yahoo! User Jun 19, 2013 09:02 Flag
Couldnt agree more , I think levy waits for late discounts like he,s booking a holiday plus he doesnt like paying a summers wages to a new signing , its in the DNA , that said he has to focus focus focus on quality and we have to have 2 new strikers , One is a cop out , I would go for Ba who is looking vulnerable at cheslea , If he,s not gonna sign a pro;lific goalscorer , then dont waste time , buying strikers is a dodgy business (like the torres nightmare ) the benefits of signing the guys early is bedding them into the style and environment , but hey ho levi is his own man and no amount of critique will get him to pull the chequebook out early !
Looks like they may be waiting for Baldini to arrive as the technical director.
I'm a bit lost with Spurs as to the role of the technical director, as I thought it was meant to give stability and focus to the squad 'build' and lessen the impact of the managerial turnaround, but we seem to have had a few technical directors over the past few years. Pleat, Arnesen, Comolli - now maybe Baldini (a bit of a misnomer given how much hair he has at 52).

Will technical director be the same as director of football (probably a key directorship at a football club...)? AVB's been vocal in asking for one anyway, if it's how the manager wants to work I guess we trust it; it wasn't right for 'Arry or Jol (too hard to say either way for Ramos), but he's clearly a different sort of gaffer.
Problem is, we've not been getting as many last minute buys in the last few windows; I've been thoroughly disappointed by the last 2 or 3 D-Days.

RICHMOND -- Just six years removed from being ranked among the nation's 10 most dangerous cities, Richmond's 2013 homicide total was its lowest in 33 years. Total reported crimes also continued a decade-long fall and were more than 40 percent lower than the 2003 total.
While the reasons for the steep decline are complex and varied, anti-crime advocates point to an event last summer that highlights just how much things have changed in a city once plagued by cycles of retaliatory street violence.
Hundreds of mourners, many of them young men with their fallen friend's face embossed on T-shirts, packed Macedonia Baptist Church in North Richmond to remember Lavonta "Macho" Crummie, a 23-year-old budding rap star who grew up in the neighborhood's notorious housing projects.
Crummie was killed in an Aug. 1 drive-by shooting in Antioch.
Mixed with the crowds and the raw emotions of that day were more than a dozen representatives from the city's Office of Neighborhood Safety, many of them ex-street toughs who now work to keep the peace. They urged Crummie's friends not to retaliate.
August was one of five months last year in which there were no killings in Richmond.
"Particularly because of who (Crummie) was, that was the kind of incident that has historically triggered waves of retaliation," said ONS Director DeVone Boggan. "The violence could have been outrageous, immediate and terrible."
Sixteen people were killed in Richmond in 2013, the lowest total since 1980 and a far cry from the 40-plus tallies of just a few years ago.
"We have a ways to go, but we're headed in the right direction," said police Chief Chris Magnus. "The reputation of Richmond as a dangerous city is not well-deserved anymore; that is becoming the Richmond of the past."
The decline in homicides and overall crime -- Richmond has not had more than 26 homicides in any year since 2009 -- can be attributed to a range of factors, law enforcement and anti-violence officials say, including better police-community relations, improved youth-outreach programs and changing demographics.
On the police side, Magnus has reformed a long-beleaguered department with an infusion of young officers, a focus on data-driven resource deployment and an emphasis on building community trust.
"We don't cast a wide net or move into hot spots like an occupying force, which fosters distrust among community partners," Magnus said. "We are surgical; we concentrate on people that need to be focused on."
At the same time, the ONS employs agents who build relationships with more than 60 young men and teens, identified through criminal records and other data as potential violent offenders. The program includes educational, counseling and job-placement support.
Operation Ceasefire, a volunteer campaign, helps give former gang members and violent offenders job training and counseling.
"We have built relationships with the people who may have otherwise perpetrated gun violence, and helped them become influential peacemakers," Boggan said.
While the drop in Richmond's violent crime is pronounced, it's also part of a larger trend.
Oakland saw a 30 percent reduction in homicides and a slight drop in overall violent crime in 2013. San Jose reported 44 killings, a drop of two from 2012, and San Francisco's homicides fell from 69 to 48. The regional trend mirrors a national one of major urban centers such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York reporting steep drops in killings, said Barry Krisberg, a senior fellow at UC Berkeley's law school.
Krisberg said Richmond benefits from a confluence of forces, including improvements in policing strategies and the ONS, along with community groups and faith leaders who conduct frequent "peace walks" in the city's most crime-plagued neighborhoods. Krisberg noted that Richmond is "not the same city it was even 10 years ago," thanks to the influx of more upper- and middle-income residents and immigrants.
The focus on offering positive outlets for at-risk youths in Richmond and elsewhere could be key to sustained crime reduction, he said.
"Part of crime reduction is not incarcerating kids in awful places where they become more violent," Krisberg said.
The 16 homicides in 2013 are the lowest total since 1980, when 15 people were killed. The lowest number on record, dating to 1971, was 12 homicides in 1973. But Richmond has about 105,000 residents today, up from just under 75,000 in 1980, according to U.S. Census data, meaning the homicide rate per capita in 2013 was the lowest in the city's recorded history.
While total violent crime dropped 4 percent in 2013, one of the few categories that rose was assaults with a firearm, which climbed from 81 to 91. The city's sophisticated ShotSpotter gunshot-detection system, which records and triangulates gunfire throughout the city, showed no significant decrease in 2013, Capt. Mark Gagan said.
While the statistics show decreases in crime, longtime residents say the decades of gunplay haven't faded from memory.
"Shootings and people dying has been a part of life out here since I can remember," said Joe Alexander, a 38-year-old who has spent most of his life in the high-crime Iron Triangle neighborhood.
Alexander is also the founder of the Facebook group R.I.P. Gone But Never Forgotten, which pays tribute to hundreds of young men killed in Richmond over the years. "I know there's less violence, but when I'm out and about, I still always stay aware of my surroundings."
