LEXINGTON, Ky. -- On a Senior Day Sunday at the Kentucky Soccer Complex, senior forward Tyler Riggs netted goals in the 46th, 57th and 65th minutes for the ninth hat trick in school history, leading the Wildcats to a 6-1 smashing of Florida Atlantic to clinch a berth in the Conference USA Tournament.
Kentucky (6-8-2, 3-3-2 Conference USA) used the ninth hat trick in school history from Riggs for the win, which, combined with a Tulsa win over Florida International on Sunday, clinched a UK berth in the league tournament in Charlotte, N.C., Nov. 10-15.
A native of Louisville, Ky., Riggs battled tears during Kentucky's pregame senior day festivities pregame, joining the four-man class of Brad Doliner, Steven Perinovic and Jack Van Arsdale. After freshman Kaelon Fox gave UK the lead in the 34th minute and Perinovic – a preseason All-America center back – netted the eventual game-winning goal in the 37th frame, his second career goal and first of 2013, giving the Wildcats a 2-0 lead at halftime.
Riggs then made history with his three-goal second half, getting his third goal of the year in the 46th minute, his fourth in the 57th and completing the hat trick in the 79th minute before subbing out for the remained of the match. Overall, he led UK with seven shots and his three goals came in just 24 minutes played in the second half.
"It was great for Riggs to get a hat trick," UK head coach Johan Cedergren said. "It just shows the kind of quality player he can be when he is really switched on. Tyler is just a couple of goals short of the all-time goal scoring record and maybe if we keep going for a while he will get there. A game like today, where he is switched on and is working really hard and is fighting for his team, there are few guys out there that are better. He is going to be huge for us going into the conference tournament."
Kentucky added the first career goal from freshman Ryan Creel in the 79th minute for its final tally, with FAU getting a goal with five seconds remaining on the clock in regulation from Ronald Garcia for the 6-1 tally. UK got two-assist games from three players, including freshmen Napo Matsoso and Sam Miller, and junior Justin Laird. Sophomore midfielder Bryan Celis also recorded his third assist of the year and Creel assisted on the final Riggs goal of the game in the 79th minute, his first career.
Riggs, a St. Xavier product and three-time All-Conference USA selection, now has 28 goals in his decorated three-year career, the fourth-most in school history. Riggs has 65 points in his career, the seventh-most in UK history, with his 136 shots rank sixth in school annals and his seven game-winning scores checking in sixth-best. With the game-winning goal at Marshall on Wednesday, the two-time Academic All-America selection had four goals during the two-game week.
The hat trick marked the first for Kentucky since Dylan Asher netted three goals in a win over FIU in 2012. It marked the third consecutive year Kentucky has had a player go for a hat trick, as Matt Lodge scored three goals in a win over IPFW in 2011.
"Seemed like everything I touched, went positive," Riggs said. "I am so thankful and it couldn't have come at a better time. It is exciting. I have been waiting for (a hat trick) for a while. I have had a couple of two-goal games in my career but I couldn't have pictured it any better than tonight. This was just a perfect night."
Kentucky's 6-1 win marked its most goals scored since a 6-0 win over Central Arkansas in 2008, with UK's six goals marking the fourth-most in single-game history, done four times in UK history. The win was the largest in UK's history (2004-13) in C-USA and marked UK's largest league win since a 6-0 win over Marshall in 1999.
"What I liked about the team was they were really switched on," Cedergren said. "They worked hard defensively. I feel really bad for Jack, giving up a goal that late. He is in the treatment room right now. But, it was close to being a shutout, which is very important to us. Overall, it was good, everyone got to play and everyone played well. We moved the ball around and we worked as a team. Team is something we have been stressing over the last couple of weeks that no matter what happens we have to stay together and stay as a team. I thought the guys did that tonight."
UK honored seniors Riggs, Perinovic, Brad Doliner and Jack Van Arsdale pregame as part of senior day festivities.
"We are just a group of four that is very, very close," Riggs said about the senior class. "They are just like my brothers. I am just happy to have been able to share this for them."
"They bought in from day one," Cedergren said about the senior class. "They tried to lead in their way. They have done what you've asked them to do. They are all four fantastic guys off the field. They work extremely hard in the classroom. It has been a real blessing to have them for two years. I am quite sad that I can't have them for another. They have been really, really good. They have been a huge part of what we've done to this point and what we are doing going forward."
The Wildcats finished with a 25-5 advantage in shots and a 9-3 advantage in corner kicks. UK sophomore goalkeeper Callum Irving worked 64 shutout minutes in the start, saving one shot, before Van Arsdale worked the final 25 minutes, surrendering the late tally to spoil the clean sheet.
"We knew we had to come out and get a result tonight and everyone came out and played really well," Perinovic said. "Everyone knew what they had to do. Defense played well and our offense was firing on all cylinders tonight so it all came together."
Florida Atlantic (6-6-2, 1-6-1 C-USA) got five saves from goalkeeper Theo Jamilloux in his 90 minutes.
UK will return to action in its home finale on Tuesday vs. Wright State at 7 p.m. ET at the UK Soccer Complex.
Fox, a native of Louisville, Ky., got UK on the board in the 34th minute, with his second goal of the year. He got the ball in midfield, shifting through traffic and finishing it at the top of the 18-yard box past the keeper at the far post.
In the 37th minute, the Wildcats got a corner kick goal, with Matsoso lofting a gorgeous cross into Perinovic, at the middle of the top of the six-yard box, who skied to head home his first goal of the year and the second of his 75-game UK career. It marked Kentucky's first goal off a corner kick in 2013.
"I've been looking for a goal on a corner kick all year," Perinovic said. "Napo whipped in a good ball today and I just got on the end of it and put it on frame. It was good to get on the board."
Just 23 seconds into the second half, Riggs struck for his first goal, as Celis played the ball to Laird, who found Riggs for his third goal of the year.
"It is funny because at halftime, I told the guys that the next goal is either going to make it really interesting if they score or if we score it is going to kind of kill the game off," Cedergren said. "Off course, Riggs couldn't wait so he just scored right away."
In the 57th minute, Matsoso took the ball down to the endline, lofting a cross into Laird, who flipped it off his head and to Riggs, who settled it with his left leg, bounced off his right foot and smashed home a low liner past a diving keeper at the far post.
Creel got his first career goal in the 65th minute, with Miller once again sparking the offense with a ball played through traffic. A native of Knoxville, Tenn., Creel settled it and fired it in the net at the far post.
Riggs completed the hat trick in the 79th minute, with Miller getting the ball from about 30 yards out, from Creel, and sending a left-footed ball through traffic towards the streaking, goal-scoring senior. He settled it with his left foot before getting off a low shot that, despite being deflected by a sliding defender, slipped into the goal at the far post, clinching the historic hat trick.
In the 90th minute, with five seconds remaining in regulation, Garcia finished a header at the far post, with Deniz Bozkurt, notching the assist.

Did you know?
iSimangaliso means 'miracle and wonder' in the Zulu language.
The 332 000ha iSimangaliso Wetland Park was declared South Africa's first World Heritage Site in December 1999 while still called the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. It received this prestigious status in recognition of the beauty of the landscape, its unique ecological processes and the exceptional diversity of species that the park protects.
Former South African president Nelson Mandela referred to the St Lucia Wetlands in a speech marking the historic 2002 reintroduction of elephants to its eastern shores, saying: 'The wetland park must be the only place on the globe where the world's oldest land mammal (the rhinoceros) and the world's biggest land mammal (the elephant) share an ecosystem with the world's oldest fish (the coelacanth) and the world's biggest marine mammal (the whale).'
The park's Kosi Bay region comprises four lakes linked by a network of channels, while its estuary is one of the world's best fly-fishing destinations.
Accessible only by 4x4, the coastal forest region encompasses the pristine beaches of Mabibi, Island Rock, Rocktail Bay and Black Rock, where snorkelling and diving are popular pastimes.
South Africa's largest freshwater lake, Lake Sibaya, also forms part of the park. Formed against thickly forested coastal dunes, its clear waters support the province's second-largest hippo and crocodile population.
Along the coast lies Sodwana Bay, a top diving destination. More than 1 200 fish species have been recorded along its bountiful reefs, including the coelacanth, rediscovered in Jesser Canyon in 2000 after it was widely believed to be extinct.
The uMkhuze ecosystem is a 38 500ha bird-lovers' paradise that supports 420 species. Leopard, black rhino, white rhino, elephant, giraffe, wild dog, cheetah, hyena and various antelope are also found here.
Sand forest, thornveld and open savannah characterise False Bay, where boating, fishing and fossils are the main attraction, while Charters Creek is a wildlife haven for larger game species such as elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard, giraffe and tsessebe.
Lake St Lucia is Africa's largest estuarine system and home to 800 hippos and 1 200 crocodiles. Flocks of pelicans and flamingos favour the expansive lake, making for excellent birdwatching. The eastern shores and Cape Vidal lend themselves to beach-and-safari tours, while Maphelane is a favoured fishing spot, with two self-guided nature trails, one estuarine and one into the dunes. The most impressive of these is the Maphelane dune at 183m high.
The iSimangaliso Wetland Park has 35 frog species – 30% of the 116 species recorded in South Africa – more than 500 bird species, over 100 species of butterfly, more than 2 000 species of flowering plants and all five of South Africa's surviving mangrove tree species.
iSimangaliso is also home to significant cultural heritage sites, including evidence of Stone Age human activity and 700-year-old fish traps at Kosi Bay. You'll also encounter five of the cultural groups who call this area home: Zulu, Swazi, Shangaan, Tonga and Gonda.

Resident faces drug charges
Published: Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 12:19 a.m.
A Raceland resident was arrested Thursday afternoon after Lafourche Sheriff's Office got a report he was selling crack cocaine, deputies said.
Johnnie Bennett Jr., 33, of 235 Ayo St., was arrested on charges of resisting an officer, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia, Sheriff's Office spokesman Brennan Matherne said.
Agents with the Lafourche Parish Drug Task Force spotted Bennett pumping gas at a service station on La. 1, Matherne said. They had learned he allegedly was selling crack cocaine in the area and was being sought on a contempt of court warrant stemming from a child support case.
As the agents approached him, Bennett rushed to the driver seat of his vehicle and attempted to flee but was shot with a Taser gun, Matherne said.
Agents found $420 and crack cocaine in Bennett's possession, Matherne said. He is in Lafourche Parish jail on a $15,250 bond.

quote: Both you and the author of this article are wrong about the Toyota Camry hybrid.
quote: I refuse to believe that car companies cannot deliver a car that is reasonably priced, looks stylish, is of decent size, and can attain the new CAFE standards.
quote: Automakers will continue to focus on models people want, but raise the prices to try to control market preference. Eventually cars that people want will also be much more profitable than the smaller cars people do not want, such that product choices and RD will be focused on these larger and more profitable automobiles at the expense of the smaller cars. Eventually the smaller offering will be such low quality you essentially have to give them away or lose money, but you have to keep pumping them out to keep selling your high profit items.
quote: I refuse to believe that car companies cannot deliver a car that is reasonably priced, looks stylish, is of decent size, and can attain the new CAFE standards.Is it really impossible to imagine a car that has prius level mpg, a mid 20,000$ price tag, but doesn't look like crap and has somewhat respectable performance?
quote: I think the real reason car companies are so angry is because they always have 100% of the R&D bill, while the oil companies get bigger subsidies and really don't have to help at all.
quote: Can we stop complaining about oil company subsidies already? Their subsidies work out to about half a cent per dollar. Or a bit less than 2 cents per gallon of gas. The Federal gas tax is 18.4 cents per gallon. The government penalizes them far more than they help.
quote: On the other hand, I suppose you think it's fair to subsidize an industry that posts profits (PROFITS....NOT REVENUE!) in the billions every quarter.
quote: Yep, more important to spend our precious tax dollars supporting an industry that needs no tax payer support at all instead of ensuring the health and productivity of its citizens ...something that would have immediate and positive effects throughout the economy.

Role playing gamers are an unusual bunch, and I should know. I've been active in the RPG scene since Ronald Reagan was President. Of course, like most gamers I cut my teeth on Dungeons and Dragons, but I've played just about everything through the years, including Call of Cthulhu, Paranoia, Traveller, Starblazer Adventures, and the Ghostbusters RPG (please, don't remind me!). Though the games I've played are different and have varying mechanics (everything from D6 to D20 systems), one thing remains constant: if there is one signature trait of role playing it's undoubtedly the game dice.
For years, role playing game dice have pretty much been standardized. A traditional polyhedral dice set includes all the favorites (d4, d6, d8, d10, d%, d12, and d20) in those funky geometric shapes that we're all familiar with. Familiarity though can breed contempt, and like I said, role playing gamers are an unusual bunch. I have more dice in my collection than one gamer could possibly need in a lifetime — an entire shoe box full of RPG dice in every color you could imagine. Sure, I have my favorites, but I'm always on the lookout for something different.
Last year at GenCon I found that different "something" in the form of Oblivion Crystal Dice. These dice are quite unusual, looking nothing like the traditional polyhedral sets that have been around for decades. Each die has its own unique crystal shape with sides exactly the same size to guarantee they roll true (probably the most important thing to look for in a set of RPG dice). All the necessary dice are present and accounted for in a crystal set (d4, d6, d8, d10, d%, d12, and d20), but they look totally different. As the crystal dice increase in number and facets, they grow fatter, giving rise to the name "barrel dice" by some gamers. For me though, "barrel" is an unflattering term and these dice are far from it, looking more like gemstones than containers used to store beer.
American dice manufacturer Crystal Caste owns the intellectual property rights to these uniquely shaped dice (at one time they sued and beat Hasbro in court for ripping off their crystal design). I personally own the orange and red sets, but the dice are available in a total of six Oblivion colors. If you're looking for something different to roll on game night, these dice may be just what you're looking for.

Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) is the most common lower urinary tract disorder
diagnosed in cats. Symptoms can include painful urination, urination outside the
litter box and blood in the urine. Stress is a significant factor in the incidence
of FIC. Veterinary researchers have determined that cats with highly sensitized
nervous and endocrine systems are more prone to FIC. Research indicates that felines
suffering from FIC may experience high levels of stress without exhibiting any noticeable
symptoms. Fortunately, there are specific alterations to your home and changes you
can make in your cat's daily routine that can help to prevent mental and physical
stress. More...
Peeing outside the litter box, otherwise known as feline inappropriate
elimination, is one of the most frustrating and common behavioral problems some
cat lovers must endure. Feline inappropriate elimination refers to the location
of the deed, and it is considered inappropriate by most cat owners because
peeing on the bed, the rug, the curtains, the tile, the laundry or anywhere
outside of the litter box is not considered appropriate!
What many cat guardians may not know is that urinating outside the litter
box, or defecating for that matter, is a message from your cat. Cats have a
natural inclination toward sand. They prefer to dig in the soil before they
eliminate: that is why litter boxes are so effective, even in young kittens.
Cats do not naturally choose flat, hard, or cloth-like surfaces, and they do not
eliminate outside the litter box out of meanness or spite. Your cat is, in
essence, letting you know that something is wrong and is asking for help. More...

Barre man arrested in bizarre case of alleged child sexual assault
Man accused of recruiting gang for his own sexual gratification
UPDATED 5:13 PM EST Mar 01, 2013
A disturbing case of child sexual abuse by an adult predator is unfolding in Barre, Vermont.
Barre Police Chief Tim Bombardier tells NewsChannel 5 21-year-old James Manning built a "homegrown" gang of teens who did his "bidding."
"He had them setting fires around town," Bombardier said. "But, there was other very unusual stuff too."
Bombardier said Manning groomed the youngsters for his own sexual gratification, raping the youngsters, sometimes in front of each other.
Manning is in the lockup in lieu of $75,000 bail. He's slated for a court appearance next week.
Bombardier says the investigation is ongoing.

Sausage And Coach's Oats Stuffed Peppers
If you answered anything other than zero, you'd be wrong. It turns out that purple peppers turn green when they're baked. At least mine did! Aren't they just gorgeous raw though? I'll make sure to use the next batch that comes off the garden in a more esthetic, uncooked manner, showcasing the beautiful color of this unique sweet pepper.
OK, now here's the skinny behind the stuffing recipe. I've stuffed peppers with every grain imaginable, including quinoa, barley, rice and couscous. I wanted to try a more traditional stuffing with the flavors of Thanksgiving this time around and I also wanted to try using oats. Coach's Oats to be specific. I can't vouch for how this stuffing would turn out if you used regular old-fashioned oats. And if you decided to use steel cut oats, you'd want to cook them in the chicken broth separately from the rest of the recipe as they take much longer to cook. Then just add them in at the end.
I have to tell you that I loved the oats in this recipe and cannot wait to try other savory recipes incorporating them.
Sausage And Coach's Oats Stuffed Peppers
6-8 medium bell peppers, any color
1 pound ground Italian turkey sausage
3 TBSP olive oil
1/2 large onion, diced
2 stalks celery (with leaves) diced
1 small bell pepper (any color) diced (I used an Anaheim pepper because I'd just picked one from the garden)
kosher salt and pepper
4 ounces button mushrooms, coarsely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
2 tsp chopped fresh sage
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup Coach's Oats
1/2 cups Craisins or raisins
green onions, green part only, for garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a deep casserole dish with cooking spray.
Slice tops off of peppers and remove seeds. Stand upright in casserole dish and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes while preparing the stuffing.
In large skillet brown the turkey sausage. Remove from skillet to paper towels to drain.
In same skillet add the olive oil. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 6-7 minutes or until onions become translucent. Add the mushrooms and continue to saute until mushrooms have given up their moisture, another 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and sage and saute for another minute or two. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in oats and Craisins and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer for five minutes. Remove from heat and add the turkey sausage back into pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Stuff partially baked peppers with stuffing mixture and return to oven for another 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish with green onions if desired.

October 18, 2005
A packed house is expected Tuesday in the Aiken County Council Chambers as council members vote on a bond. Builders of a new Aiken County development want to use that bond to pay for its streets and water connection. That's upset many in Aiken County. News 12 is on your side with why taxpayer uproar may now change state law.
They've showed up at smaller meetings, ran ads in the paper and spoke out strong: opponents of Tax Increment Financing, or TIF.
"I've been with the county for 22 years and I've never seen an issue that has sparked the public interest like this," said Joan Donnelly, Assistant County Administrator.
That's why Aiken County Council is preparing for a big turnout for Tuesday's vote on TIF.
County workers spent the day posting safety signs and setting up extra chairs in council chambers. And if the extra chairs aren't enough, an overflow room is set up in the auditorium. This seats about 100 people and they can watch the meeting on TV.
Still not enough room? It may not be. So, chairs and speakers are ready to go outside.
"We're also going to ask people to sign a sheet saying if they're for or against the TIF, just so we can get some idea of how the crowd feels," Donnelly said.
That vocal crowd may be heard in Columbia, too. Representative Rowland Smith voted for TIF to become law in 2004. It was meant for blighted areas, but words including property with wetlands were added at the last minute. Smith, like many local lawmakers, regrets his vote and wants to change the TIF law next season.
"We need to look number one at changing that language back to what it was originally or I prefer to look at totally eliminating the TIF," Smith said.
All this because a few taxpayers started fighting and gained momentum.
"It drives home the fact that it's important for the citizens to be involved in government," Smith said.

STANFORD -- Here are some thoughts and expressions from and about Stanford football players Shayne and Patrick Skov:
"I don't need anybody's sympathy. If people can draw inspiration from what I do and my brother does that's great, but I would never share that information with the intent of gaining any sympathy."
-- Senior linebacker Shayne Skov on dealing with his mother Terri's multiple sclerosis.
"There is nothing worse than that helpless feeling not being about to contribute or assist your team in need. Sitting in the dorm room watching and we're struggling to win. I felt disconnected."
-- Shayne Skov on having to miss the 2012 season opener as punishment for a DUI arrest that year.
"The dynamic of my life has taken a lot of people to step up. Surrogate parents at prep school, my aunt and uncle have been incredible when my parents were in Mexico. You don't get to express your appreciation all of the time. You can demonstrate you've learned from the life lessons they taught you. It's greatest way you can show your thanks."
-- Shayne Skov on the gratitude for those who helped him develop into a scholar-athlete.
"We had a couple good collisions at fall camp. A lot of times he will complain that I am holding him and get into a tussle then all of sudden he'll realize we brothers and laugh it off. He was guarding me in open field and I hit him in the face and he got into a little argument. It's interesting to see the person across you is a family member."
-- Junior fullback Patrick Skov, who is 15 months younger than brother Shayne.
"When they try to be parents and they don't know what they're doing it's funny to watch. It took Patrick three weeks to figure out what to put on lunches. It was kind of like fend for yourself sometimes."
-- Olivia Skov, 13, on having brothers Shayne and Patrick take care of her and her sister earlier this year.
"A lot of guys wouldn't have been able to play. He had three operations on that knee. He willed himself to play each day. It takes special talent as well as inner belief. "
-- Stanford linebackers coach David Kotulski, on Shayne Skov's ability to play in 2012 a year after a serious knee injury.
"We talked about it last year: If you're going to do something, do it the best you can. If you're playing football there is nothing else that exists. If you need to do something with your family, football and school take a back seat. They're not important anymore. As a coach I have their back if they need something from their family. When that world is OK they can come back to this world and be great. When it is time for family, 'Go back home and don't worry about us.' "
-- Stanford coach David Shaw, on allowing the Skovs time with their sick mother.
"Shayne has always had an energy and a burning desire inside him. When he was a freshman still not completely sure what the defense was, but was running around hitting everybody. I used to say, 'We should all do our jobs with as much zeal as that kid plays football.' He pours his heart into everything he does."
-- Shaw, on how Shayne Skov attacks life.
"My father said somebody from Carneros is going to Stanford. I couldn't believe it. If Shayne goes to the NFL he will be like a movie star because he also speaks Spanish."
-- Carlos Nava, ESPN Deportes writer whose family helped found the Carneros football team in Guadalajara, Mexico.
"The first time I talked to Patrick he was a very quiet boy but when it came to playing he was transformed into a wild player who was very explosive."
-- Abraham Lima, a Carneros executive when the Skov brothers played for the youth football club.

Hyper-prolific rapper Lil Wayne is currently being given his last rites at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Hospital after suffering a series of seizures, if TMZ is to be believed. But close friends of Wayne's say Weezy is "alive and well." As the world awaits more news, here is the gist of what's happening.
Wayne's recent troubles began Tuesday night, when he was rushed to the hospital after having an initial seizure. Doctors were able to stabilize him at the time, and he was released on Wednesday. Just a few hours later, however, Wayne's bodyguard found him unconscious and again raced him to get medical attention. That time, attempts to stabilize the 30-year-old were ineffective. According to TMZ, Wayne was then "placed in restraints because he was shaking uncontrollably," and he is now in a medically induced coma.
Responding to TMZ's grim reports, however, Wayne's friends and fellow rappers Mack Maine and Birdman have tweeted that TMZ is wildly wrong and that Wayne is "alive and well":
Regardless of what his condition is at present, TMZ sources say Wayne's seizures can probably be attributed his abuse of codeine "Sizzurp," on which he reportedly binged before being taken to the hospital:
Sources say there's evidence Wayne went on a Sizzurp binge after being released Wednesday, because doctors found high amounts of codeine in his system.
We're told Wanye's stomach was pumped 3 times to flush the drugs from his system.
Update: A message from Wayne's Twitter account:

ELIZABETH - A group of property owners in several counties has joined together to present an option for natural gas drilling and production, as well as figuring out what the industry can bring to make a fair deal.
The Wirt County Oil and Gas Group was formed in February and has brought together landowners, mineral rights holders and gas producers to formulate a workable lease option for those interested in having their property used in natural gas production, said James Lydon, one of the group's organizers.
"The goal is to develop large blocks of acreage that will be attractive to drilling companies that are developing the Marcellus Shale formation," he said. "All oil, gas and mineral owners are invited to join the group and work toward acquiring the best price and best company or companies to produce our oil, gas and hydrocarbons."
Earlier this year, Lydon was at a meeting discussing options for local residents interested in having their land used for gas production. He found someone he knew was being offered $500 an acre less than what he was being offered and felt something needed to be done to make the process more equitable for everyone involved.
He got people to join together to look at the issues involved in natural gas production, as well as landowner rights and other concerns that have come up.
Lydon has stated the group that has 50,000 acres signed up to be leased, with the possibility of several thousand more. Acreage in Wirt, Wood, Ritchie, Calhoun, Roane and Jackson counties has been committed to the group, representing 350-400 people.
"We have a mix of people that includes gentlemen farmers, mineral rights holders and small oil/gas producers," Lydon said. "Working together keeps us all focused."
The oil/gas producers bring knowledge of the business to the group.
"They help us understand what we need to do," Lydon said.
Members represent landowners with around five acres available to one who has 20,000 acres.
The goal of the Wirt County Oil and Gas Group is to develop a lease that is fair to the royalty owner, surface owner and the producer, Lydon said.
Collectively the group will solicit members to help make large contiguous tracks of minerals that will be marketed so that maximum return can be gained.
The group has had two meetings with a third scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 8 at the Wirt County High School auditorium.
Organizers said meetings are conducted with respect and in a business-like manner with decisions being made by consensus or majority vote.
Membership is voluntary, and the decisions made by the group will not bind any member to do something he/she does not believe is right for them.
Policies will be formulated by committees who will collect ideas and data to help the members make decisions without everyone in the group meeting for days at a time to come up with a plan, organizers said.
The next meeting will be to distribute and discuss the proposed lease. The lease has been developed by a committee of members and reviewed by attorney Tom Whittier.
"The lease meets our goal of being fair to the oil and gas owner, the landowner and the company that will produce the wells," Lydon said.

On Economics and Enterprise Software - Comparing Apples to Asparagus
By Kem Butller-Oracle on May 20, 2013
Lyle Ekdahl, Group Vice President General Manager, Oracle's JD Edwards
"Substitute your lies for fact I can see right through your plastic mac…" The Who
In recent discussions in the board rooms of some of my customers and as discussed in various media outlets from current age Twitter posts to classic WSJ articles, there seems to be a common discussion based on a fundamentally flawed premise. OK you ask, "What the devil are you talking about?" Well, maybe I should start with the basic proposition. "Why would anyone in their right mind pay a vendor $X for a good or service when they can get the exact same thing for $½X?" Why indeed? If people are handing out bowls of free money why would you not want to belly up and drink deep?
Unfortunately that is where the discussion goes awry. As your dad used to tell you, "Money does not grow on trees." At least I hope that is what he told you. In fact, the reason why the other good or service is cheaper really falls into just a few categories – there a cost advantage, a technology applied, etc. The first category that always needs to be explored is the economic concept of substitutes. Specifically meaning, do two compared products or services have a positive cross elasticity of demand. Classic economic examples are margarine and butter or petroleum and natural gas. Now the substitutability of any two compared goods is always a matter of degrees but if one is really trying to get to the heart of the matter, again why would I pay a premium for one offer over another, you need to start with the concept of the "perfect substitute". To define the "perfect substitute" is to say that utility is perfectly equal such that the marginal rate of substitution is constant and I would add without any loss in value or increase in risk.
"Why go through that trouble of comparison?" your CFO may say. "Cheaper is good." That is when you pull out another old adage, "You can have cheap or you can have good, but seldom can you have both." To put a finer point on it, try this comparison, " A personal auto and a bus ticket are both transportation and a bus ticket is a lot less than half the price of a car, so why are there so many dang cars on the road?"
The answer of course is utility, or the total satisfaction and or value received in consuming the good or service. Now the classically trained economists are going to jump on this one as they see I equated utility with value. Please keep your Menger, Wieser and Bohm-Bawerk out of this discussion for now. We can address the higher order of mans' needs and desires in future blog posts.
So now the beef or perhaps the chicken of the matter, let's take for example the fees associated with Oracle's JD Edwards maintenance. For theory sake, let's just say that there were "agents" in the market that make a claim they have a perfect substitute that costs you 50% less. Again intriguing until you break down the actual offer and the utility or value received.
So what do Oracle's JD Edwards maintenance fees buy you anyway? Well, there are actually multiple categories and layers of valuable deliverables in the offer. The most succinct list of value categories that I can find includes ten as delivered by Oracle's JD Edwards Development and Support:
1) Future rights to product & technology releases
2) Technical Support (Trouble shooting, issue identification & resolution)
3) Knowledge Base Access (Exposure to the issues and resolution across a broad community – 1000's of customers)
4) Updates, patches/fixes (Both new features and fixes to bugs)
5) Proactive security, data integrity, performance and scalability testing & resolutions (Yes we are watching what the "hacksters" are attempting and we have your back)
6) Tax, legal and regulatory updates (Yes we are watching what governments are attempting and we have your back)
7) Upgrade Scripts (So that you can exercise your rights)
8) Certifications with New Oracle Products (Oracle buys lots of stuff)
9) Certifications for existing third party products and versions (Have you noticed the rate of change in browsers?)
10) Certifications for new third party products and versions (Yes technology marches on)
A pretty impressive list if I do say so. However, there is one additional factor that needs to get on the table. To oversimplify a bit, JD Edwards' products come in two chunks– that which is non-compiled and that which is compiled. I bring this up to make sure you are aware that certain functions in the list of ten can ONLY be performed at the factory, so when assessing value and making a comparison be aware of what is and is not possible.
For example, if you are willing to take the 50% off pitch you should be prepared to freeze your technical infrastructure. So to paraphrase Seinfeld's infamous Soup Nazi, "No new browser for you," even if it becomes the corporate standard or plugs a security hole.
More later, but for now I will leave you with this thought: have you ever asked yourself what is the difference between a can of chicken purchased at your local grocer conveniently located down the canned meat aisle and that which you can find five rows over in the cat food section? Looks to me like a can of chicken designed for your family's cacciatore is about two times more expensive then the chicken you put on the floor for Fluffy - Caveat Emptor or perhaps I should say, Bon Appétit.

Sinead O'Connor "detests" Prince and even got into a violent confrontation with him when they met.
She probably doesn't detest those checks she gets for that hit song he wrote for her, though.
The Irish singer became massively famous in 1990 by covering Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U." But she says she pretty much hates him and the feeling is mutual. Which seems so strange, because they're both such friendly, outgoing people who get along with everyone.
O'Connor said the two had a serious problem with one another when they met, but isn't spilling details ... yet.
"I loved his music, but I had absolutely no idea or expectation that that single would be such a big hit, not at all," O'Connor told Britain's Uncut magazine. "Did I ever meet Prince? I did and ... we didn't like each other. At all. Ha ha! I'm not going to go into it, but we detest each other ... It got violent too, which is why I can't go into it, but it is a very funny story. I'll tell it when I'm an old lady and I write my book."

A man who died in an accident in a Mall of America parking ramp has been identified.
Raheem Aaron Waheed, 52, was driving a rental truck that struck a concrete-and-steel support beam Friday evening, causing the beam to fall and crush the truck's cab.
Authorities said the truck was too tall for the parking ramp.
The Hennepin County medical examiner's office said Waheed had no permanent address.

This show encapsulates all the early-years weirdness and goofiness that has become part of the Phish mystique. Rift hadn't been released yet, the Minkin sculptures hung behind the stage and Page wasn't yet playing a grand piano on tour. The first set songs were pretty straightforward, in spite of the technical problems during My Sweet One. I had never heard Mike's Song before this night and this INCREDIBLE version immediately lodged the song in my heart as one of my all time Phish favorites. They used the smoke machine for this 20-minute Mike's Groover, and so much smoke poured out of the thing that it literally enveloped the theater to the point where you couldn't see anything. A must-hear Mike's Groove.
The second set was strange to me. I was surprised to hear a traditional Jewish anthem woven into a beautiful instrumental melody. Tweezer is relatively direct, but after the Bouncing and Coil, things got weird again with Fishman using a gong for Love You. It's the Harpua that really shines in this second set. Trey sarcastically mocks the Spin Doctors, referring to the "hit song on the radio" by playing a few notes of Jimmy Olsen's Blues, which was in the process of getting overplayed on MTV and rock radio in late 1992. Back then, we didn't know that Phish would long far outstrip the Spin Doctors in popularity and longevity.

"Napoleon has humbugged me, by God; he has gained twenty-four hours' march on me" — The Duke of Wellington
1815. Quatre Bras, a small village with no more than 4 houses located in Belgium. But this peaceful place will assume a key in determining the Europe's fate.
Here, the Armée du Nord commanded by Marshall Ney will face Wellington's Anglo-Allied Army. The goal of the French is clear: if they achieve to achieve control of the crossroads, they will prevent the Prussians from linking up with the British army and creating a force too large for even Napoleon to smash.

"The wolves will eat well this winter" – Anonymous Finnish officer, during a battle in the area of Suomussalmi
Only a few years have passed since Finland gained its independence in 1917 and the events of the following Civil War have led to a country that is recovering from fresh wounds. But the trials for this young Nation are not ended. The Soviet Union, considering that the Finnish-Russian borders were too close to Leningrad, demanded them to be moved westward and for the dismantling of all the fortifications that the Finnish had built in the Karelian Isthmus.

Japan, in the second half of the 16th century.
For two hundred years the central power of the Ashikaga Shogunate has been progressively eroded by rebellious local daimyo. Decades of struggles among the warlords have divided the country and now they verge upon open war.
With the succession to the shogunate in doubt and a nation in economic distress, it is a time of reckoning for the noble families and their retainers, the Samurai.
This is the time of great and ambitious lords, a time of honour and betrayal. This is the time of the nation at war.
This is the Sengoku Jidai!

He is a Viet Nam veteran who spent 10 years in the US Navy most of the time as a corpsman serving with the Marine Corps. A native of Belleville, Kan., Hiebert is semi retired and lives in Andover with his wife, Sharon. He is a school bus driver for USD 385, Andover, Kansas.
Scripture: Exodus 6:1 NIV Then the LORD said to Moses, "Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country."
Observation: In the preceding verses one could see what Pharaoh was doing to the Israelites. He had been flexing his power to show them that they had no hope in withstanding him. But now it is God's turn. He was going to show them what He could do.
Application: Surely the God who planted God-fearing people in a new land back in the 1600's and has been so evident throughout our history—surely He will not allow the USA to slide quietly into insignificance without showing what He can do! So far our efforts to stop abortion, prohibit gay marriage, stop the removal of the Bible from our schools has proved futile. I believe I can hear God say, "Now you will see what I can do!"
Prayer: Lord, remember the many prayers of dedication for our nation, our government and our people. Bring another spiritual awakening to America! Amen

iTerm is a full featured terminal emulation program written for OS X using Cocoa. We are aiming at providing users with best command line experience under OS X. The letter i represents a native Apple look and feel of the program interface, and an emphasis on complete international support.
Required OS: 10.4

Everyone that's still using iTerm, check out iTerm2. It seems at least as good as iTerm and, in many ways, far superior.
Agree with darxider - do something like time find ~/. and see the speed difference. With the refresh rate set to its lowest on iTerm, it's considerably slower. With the refresh rate set to its default, it's way slower. And with the refresh rate set to its fastest, just go ahead and take a nap. 256 colors is awesome, full screen is awesome, but the speed is depressing. Unfortunately, I can't get my font-of-choice to be recognized by X11, so I'm still stuck bouncing back and forth between Terminal.app and iTerm.
it's grown up a heck of a lot. sorry terminal.app :D
Terminal.app is twice faster in running "ls -lR ~" than iTerm. I don't like antialiasing for terminal. It makes my eyes go fuzzy. The only feature that I miss in Terminal.app is the fullscreen. That's quite sexy.
Latest test release seems broken. Cuts of the bottom of the letters for me.
Until Terminal.app supports 256 color terminals, I'll be using iTerm exclusively. The ability to command-click links to open them (rather than right-clicking) is another reason I'll stick with iTerm.
Crotchety choosy Unix supremacists choose iTerm!
and it has anti aliased fonts too :)
Terminal has tabs! Sorry, iTerm! :D
Tabs. Full Screen mode. Anti-aliased fonts. Multiple sessions stored in that can be accessed via hot keys. If you use "ssh" or "vim" on Mac OS X, you should switch to iTerm. Excellent UTF-8 support. I would buy a license if it wasn't open source. I need to make a donation!
A tabbed terminal sounds awfully nice, but I decided to stick it through with Terminal.app so now I use that with GNU Screen for my "tabs".
Not quite as cool, but functional. :)

Oakbrook plans outdoor 'learning environment'
Published: Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 4:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 4:38 p.m.
Plans revealed Friday for Oakbrook Preparatory School's new play area show more than a slide and monkey bars.
"Village Square" is an outdoor classroom, a performance stage, a nature trail and, yes, a place for students to have fun. School leaders say the plans create a whole new learning environment for Oakbrook students, their families and the surrounding community.
The school is now in fundraising mode, but Head of School Adair Hinds said he aims to have the $100,000 needed to break ground on the playground in May and open for use in the fall. Hinds said he hopes it'll be a space for students to separate themselves from the digital screen and tap into their creativity.
"At Oakbrook, we do a great job of developing kids' character, and I want our kids to dream big dreams, explore their imagination at a young age," Hinds said. "...From K-5 playing, all the way to seniors practicing on the football field, I think we're going to hit that out of the park."
The expansive play area will span from one side of the school's main building to the sports complex and the primary school. Plans call for an amphitheater, picnic areas and several open spaces, including a hard surface play area, an open field and a landscaped green space. An activity trail winds through nine activity "pods," outdoor musical stations with chimes or drums and various gardens. There's also room for new playground equipment.
"It's not just about a piece of equipment. We wanted dramatization, the creativity, the sensory motor," said Debbie Locke, Lower School director. "… We try to get learning outside of the classroom as much as possible. It fits in with our philosophy of hands-on experiences and reaching the total child."
Locke spearheaded a committee of parents, teachers and a board member to formulate ideas, which were later turned over to landscape architect Jon Dumont with Creative Playscapes in Mooresville, N.C.
"We wanted something that would help get them back to nature a little bit more. Use their senses," said Amy Robinson, parent to two Oakbrook students and playground planning committee member. "This would give us several more areas where different age groups could be outside at the same time."
On weekends, school leaders said they see the playground as a community resource. They hope it will also be a draw for potential Oakbrook families.

DES MOINES, Iowa (January 15, 2013)--Ron Paul may be gone from the political stage, but his legions of followers say he's not forgotten.
Loyal supporters of the two-time Republican presidential candidate have quietly taken over key-state GOP organizations, ensuring fights with the GOP establishment as the party tries to heal from its 2012 defeat and laying the groundwork for a future presidential candidate.
Their new relevance, especially in early caucus states Iowa and Nevada, could clear the way for such a candidate, perhaps the Texans' son, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
It's the next step in the group's ongoing development, from rambunctious malcontents of just a few years ago into more serious party activists bent on reshaping a party they say has drifted from its conservative roots.

Product's Review
If you drink White Wine you need the VacuVin Cooler Review by Mal
I have used this product before and after about 6 years 2 got tired so I bought 3 more, the new ones are even better. They do a much better job keeping the wine cold and get a non refrigerated bottle of wine ready to drink in 5 to 8 minutes and keep getting it colder. I will always have three of these in my freezer.
