Product Description
The story about the fisherman who nearly caught a fish that was "this big" is about as old as the sea. Now you get the chance to add to this classic tradition of embellishment with this clever card game. As you cast lures and try to catch fish, you'll have to read opponents' poker faces and try to figure out who's playing the best fish and who's just bluffing with river rubbish!
Get hooked on this card game of big fish and even bigger fish tales. Cast a lure card from your tackle box, then pick from your opponents' cards in hopes of landing the big one. Will you be able to see through their bluffs or will you get stuck with a soggy old boot? Reel in the most fish and you're the master angler. But catch only junk and you'll be left telling a story about the one that got away!
Enhances the following skills: Probability, Counting.

US President Barack Obama Monday announced a string of new educational and entrepreneurial exchanges with Muslim nations, in a bid to honor his promise to forge a new beginning with Islam.
Obama delivered a keynote speech at the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship, hosted by the United States after being announced in his landmark speech to the Muslim world in Egypt last June.

He also thanked Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for offering to host the next such summit in his country next year.
"By listening to each other we have been able to partner with each other," Obama said, announcing that a new US Global Technology and Innovation fund could "potentially mobilize" two billion dollars of private investment.
"Real change comes from the bottom up, and that is why we are here," Obama said, comparing the task of fostering innovation and development in Muslim nations to his time as a community organizer in Chicago.
Obama unveiled a series of new partnerships and ventures designed to bring business and social entrepreneurs from Muslim majority nations to the United States and to send US counterparts to the Islamic world.
"Women in technology fields will have opportunity to come to the United States for internships and professional development," Obama said.
"Since innovation is central to entrepreneurship, we are creating new exchanges for science teachers, we are forging new partnerships in which high-tech leaders from Silicon Valley will share their expertise."
Around 250 entrepreneurs are attending the summit from countries across the Muslim world, where America's image has suffered over wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal and the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
The Global Technology and Innovation Fund is backed by the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation, which has received a deluge of applications for funding.
Each chunk of funding awarded by OPIC is expected to be worth between 25 and 150 million dollars.

The New Chinese Millionaires
According to this Xinhua article by Lu Yuliang and Cheng Yunjie, China now has the world's fifth-largest population of millionaires.
The article, which cites Boston Consulting Group, says there are now 310,000 households in China with investible assets of at least $1 million. That's ranks China just behind the top four — U.S., Japan, Britain and Germany. (I'm surprised France didn't outrank China.) And according to the Hurun Report — China's version of the Forbes list — the country now has 106 billionaires, second only to the U.S.
Of course, 310,000 miilionaire households is small by U.S. standards — New York State alone has about the same number. What's startling, though, is the growth: China's millionaire population has more than doubled since 2001. And BCG expects the number to double again in four years.
That seems like great news for China. But there's a downside. If you think inequality is bad in the U.S., consider China. According to the report, millionaire households account for 1/10th of 1 percent of the total number of households in China, but possess 41.4 percent of the country's total wealth. In the U.S. the top 1 percent own a third of the wealth. (At America's inequality peak — 1929 — the top 1 percent controlled about 48 percent of the wealth.)
While many of the rich in the U.S. made their money by starting companies or leading businesses, many of the rich in China made their fortunes from cozy ties with the government. That's made it hard for the Chinese rich to improve their reputations. What's more, they have yet to take up U.S.-style philanthropy, which is still frowned on by the government.
There are signs of hope. Today's Wealth Report column, written by my colleagues Kate Linebaugh and Jane Spencer, describes the philanthropic ventures of Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Asia. According to the article, Mr. Li has pledged more than $10 billion, or a third of his fortune, to philanthropic projects around the world.
"In the U.S., philanthropic support from entrepreneurs is tightly integrated into the fabric of society, whether it's health care, medical research or education," the 79-year-old Mr. Li tells the Journal. "Now, slowly, China will know this."
All well and good. But until China's newfound riches are spread more broadly throughout the country, and until the rich become a truly entrepreneurial class (rather than Communist Party princelings and land-swiping developers), the Chinese wealthy will have a tough time gaining respect from their countrymen — and from the world.

Hibiscus Extract
Originating in Asia and the Pacific islands, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of Malaysia. It is closely associated with Hawaii, however the state flower for Hawaii is a native species of hibiscus, H. brackenridgei. Thousands of colors and combinations of colors (no true blue or black), some varieties have blossoms 2" in diameter and others, 10-12". Some with bushes that will only grow a foot in several years while others may grow to 15 feet if left undisturbed in the ground. Singles, doubles, some blooming almost every day, the variation in the tropical hibiscus family is astounding!

BEVERLY - The Fort Frye High baseball team had every facet of the game working Tuesday as the Cadets defeated rival Waterford 10-0 at Cadet Field.
Along with the 10 runs, Fort Frye swiped five bases, received a complete game, one-hit shutout from starting pitcher Casey Hall and committed no errors in the field.
It was a much-needed win for the Cadets, who were coming off of back-to-back losses to Magnolia and Parkersburg South.

JORDAN HOLLAND The Marietta Times
Fort Frye righty Casey Hall fire a pitch homeward to a Waterford batter during prep baseball action in Beverly Tuesday.
"Our kids came out in a baseball-ready mode," said Fort Frye head coach Sonny Bidwell. "They were very focused. They knew it was very important to get people on base and I think they came up with some big hits throughout the game."
Hall struck out two and did not walk a batter to pick up the win on the hill.
"Casey pitched an excellent game," Bidwell said. "He was working on some stuff out there. He did a nice job of pitching. He had a one-hitter. I'm very pleased with his performance."

Left-hander Josh Schaad started on the mound for Waterford and lasted just an inning-and-a-third, striking out one and walking four.
Devyn Farley had the lone Wildcat hit with one out in the top of the first inning.
"They're a good ball club," said Waterford head coach Chad Augenstein of the Cadets. "We wish them the best."
The Fort Frye offense was powered by the performances of Drew and Derek Layton. Drew punched a bases loaded single up the middle to drive in a pair of runs in the bottom of the first, and Derek launched a three-run homer over the left field fence the next inning to make it an 8-0 game.
"Drew Layton had a nice hit for us," Bidwell said. "Derek Layton had a big home run."
Drew Layton was 2-3 with the two runs batted in, while Derek Layton drove in three, scored three and stole two bases.
Spencer Lang, Chandler Lang and Hall each had a hit. Chandler Lang stole a pair of bases, scored a pair of runs and drove in a run, while Spencer Lang scored two runs, stole a base and led off the game with a double.
After Spencer Lang's double to left, younger brother Chandler drove him in with a single to center. Later in the inning, with the bases juiced, Drew Layton's base knock brought in Chandler and Derek Layton. Colton Shuster would later cross the plate in the frame on a wild pitch to make the score 4-0 after one.
The Cadets would put up another four-spot in the second. Spencer Lang walked with one out and stole second and third base. Chandler Lang followed suit with a walk and a steal of second. Spencer scored on Halls single to left field, and Chandler and Hall came around on Derek Layton's bomb, blowing the game wide open.
The Fort sent two more across in the bottom of the fourth, as Derek Layton scored on a wild pitch and Caden Brooker crossed home on an error, making it a 10-0 Cadet lead.
Waterford went 1-2-3 in the top of the fifth to bring the mercy rule into effect and end the game.
"The kids hit better and played better," Bidwell said. "Defensively, this was our first game without an error this season. We had a few nice plays and we hit the ball hard."
The win made Fort Frye's record 14-6 on the year, while Waterford fell to 3-12.
Both teams are right back at it today, as Fort Frye hosts Shenandoah while Waterford plays South Gallia on the road.

Forty-eight to 72 hours after a critical event occurs in a war zone — a soldier is killed in an explosion, for example — the U.S. Army's Combat Operational Stress Control (COSC) unit offers what it calls traumatic event management to help the affected unit cope with the loss. "We debrief and talk about what they experienced," says Capt. Cecilia Najera, an occupational therapist. "We reinforce [the fact] that the symptoms and feelings they are having are normal reactions to something that is abnormal."
During one such gathering, in Tikrit, Iraq, the soldiers sat in a circle around Boe, a black Labrador and one of the first army dogs to be deployed specifically to provide troops with emotional support. Some of the men and women wanted to talk about the incident. Others, trying to get a handle on their feelings, just wanted to listen. A few found it easier to talk when they were petting the dog.
"It was somber," Najera remembers. But then, in the middle of the circle, Boe broke the gloomy atmosphere with an abrupt movement. "She tried to catch a fly," Najera says, "and everyone laughed. She definitely offered a bit of a distraction and helped lighten the mood."
Sgt. 1st Class Boe was arguably one of the hardest-working and most popular soldiers at the base during her deployment. In a place where both the emotional and the physical climates are harsh, Boe became de facto family for many of the soldiers. She got them talking when they were inclined to shut down, and frolicking when they needed to relax. She allowed them to express themselves emotionally and demonstrate affection (which she reciprocated) in an environment where warmth and tenderness were in exceedingly short supply.
The program was launched in 2007, and Boe and another black Lab, Budge, became the army's first COSC dogs, helping service members deal with combat anxieties, homefront issues and sleep disorders. They were donated to the army by America's VetDogs, a sister organization of the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind. The foundation has a history of working with the military, back to post–World War II days, when they provided guide dogs for vision-impaired veterans.
There is nothing new about dogs working with soldiers — they are well established and valuable in areas of detection and security. But it wasn't until folks from the army's COSC unit approached VetDogs about sending therapy dogs to Iraq that the nonprofit organization began training its canines for a very different purpose.
"These dogs have to have impeccable behavior," says Wells Jones, CEO of VetDogs and the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind. "We're giving them that behavior, plus preparation for all kinds of people and circumstances." He acknowledges that, seeking a similar emotional connection, military units have been known to adopt local dogs. But those dogs, few of whom have been inoculated, can bring disease onto a base. Most importantly, the army has a rule against it. General Order 1-A says that soldiers are forbidden to adopt, care for or even feed any domestic or wild animals in the war zone.
Trainers choose COSC dogs, whose jobs fall under the umbrella of animalassisted therapy, based on temperament. It's critical that they do not react negatively to loud noises, and that they follow their handler's commands despite distractions ranging from mortar rounds to a soldier bearing a tempting treat. Training includes exposure to groundrumbling noises (rifle ranges) and exotic transportation (helicopters).
With security in mind, VetDogs chose Boe and Budge in part for their color — black. "We were thinking that they'd be less visible at night," Jones says. "But since then, our preference has changed and we'd prefer them on the lighter side because of the strong sunlight and the fur's ability to reflect."
Before a dog is sent overseas, army handlers spend time training at the VetDogs campus on Long Island, N.Y., and at army bases. Although one person becomes the dog's primary handler, three others are also trained to ensure that 11th-hour staffing changes won't affect the dog's care. On top of that, 40 to 50 people in each unit receive one day of basic instruction in dog care — for instance, do not feed the dog MREs (the army's infamous Meals Ready-to- Eat, which may, in some cases, be less palatable than kibble). When the dog is fully trained, he or she travels on official army orders to the war zone.

No. 18 - CPD for Teachers in Post-compulsory Education
Published: May 2008
The last few years have seen an unprecedented level of activity in regards the education, training and development of teachers in the post-compulsory sector. These stem, to an extent, from the Government's reform programme outlined in the 2004 "Equipping our Teachers for the Future" white paper. But it also comes from the professionalism that exists within the teaching force, its professional associations and in the organisations and institutions that oversee and deliver training programmes for prospective and serving teachers.
The purpose of this position paper is fourfold: Firstly, it seeks to provide a summary and critical analysis of the complex and inter-related changes that have taken place in recent years. Secondly, it identifies some examples of good practice in regards CPD and how the "impact" of such practice might be assessed. Thirdly, it proposes the adoption of an entitlement statement that sets out the support teachers in the sector should expect to receive in respect of their continuing professional development. And, finally, it lists some firm recommendations that we would like government agencies, professional associations, universities and others to take on board.
I would like to express my personal thanks to all those colleagues that have contributed to the production of this important document.

Executive Director
Universities Council for the Education of Teachers

BHP write-down reveals fragile state of shale
The size of BHP Billiton's $2.8bn write-down for its US shale assets took some banks by surprise - at least two thought it was too small.
The size of BHP Billiton's $2.8bn write-down for its US shale assets took some banks by surprise - at least two thought it was too small.
To debate on the basis of science-based evidence before making decisions is something we should aspire to in every field where it is possible.
A team of researchers has R12.5-million and two years to consider the effect of fracking for shale gas on the Karoo.
The government plans to grant oil companies licences to begin exploring the Karoo for gas from as early as July this year.
Researchers in the US have found that many of the 750 or so chemicals used in fracking are associated with fertility and developmental problems.
A ploy to soften up Russia and Iran might inflict collateral damage on its own shale industry.
Although blessed with an abundance of minerals such as gold, platinum and coal, SA has always been a major oil importer.
Critics say that plans for the department of mineral resources to monitor the impact of shale gas operations has put it at odds with its own mandate.
A new meta-study has found that the life-time greenhouse gas emissions of shale gas, extracted through fracking, are half that of coal.
The chemicals giant expects synfuel production for the year to fall in the upper end of the target range as it progresses a number of investments.
Mamphela Ramphele's party will oppose hydraulic fracturing, a first for a South African political party.
The government must wake up and smell the roses before the stench of sulphur becomes overwhelming.
The SA firm is dismantling a US community to make way for its $21-billion shale gas plant.
The 2014 Budget has delayed the carbon tax, punted shale gas, budgeted for more independent energy, and asked that mines help fix acid mine drainage.
Parliament's committee on mineral resources says gas and oil should be treated differently to mining.
The fight is no longer about fracking but how it is going to be carried out, writes Sarah Wild.
Botswana's government has denied claims that fracking is under way in the country's top wildlife park, but says exploration drilling is taking place.
Botswana has been accused of sacrificing the Kalahari to commercial fracking while ignoring the concerns of access to scarce water.

By Jody Hope Strogoff and Ernest Luning
In the face of increasing pressure to drop out, Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Maes on Friday vowed to stay in the race through the November election. A defiant Maes said he's "proud to say I'm in it to win it" despite losing the support of numerous influential Republicans, including Senate candidate Ken Buck, who withdrew his endorsement of Maes on Friday afternoon.
At the same time, third-party challenger Tom Tancredo repeated his intentions to continue campaigning and — calling Maes "no longer a viable opponent" — challenged Democrat John Hickenlooper to a series of debates.
Meanwhile, the Colorado Republican Party has officially abandoned its support of their nominee, with State Chairman Dick Wadhams saying he was "very disappointed in the decision by Dan Maes to continue his candidacy for governor. Revelations before and especially after the August 10th primary have raised serious questions about the veracity of how he has presented his professional background and career and have virtually destroyed any possibility of running a viable campaign."
Also, a former chair of the Denver County Republican Party, Mary Smith, said this week that she's publicly supporting Denver's Democratic mayor John Hickenlooper in the race and is co-hosting a bipartisan fundraiser for him later this month with other well known Republican and Democrats.
Additionally, prominent Republican businessman Steve Schuck, who twice ran for governor in the 1980s, confirmed to The Colorado Statesman late Friday that he is throwing his support to Tancredo and expects other business leaders and Republicans across the state to follow suit.
"After speaking with, and hearing from, numerous Coloradans — from former Senators to family farmers — I've determined that I cannot turn my back on the 200,000 voters who nominated me to run for this office," Maes said in a statement issued late Friday afternoon, putting to rest any speculation he would withdraw from the race in time for Republicans to appoint a substitute candidate before county clerks must begin printing ballots.
Maes narrowly defeated former six-term Congressman Scott McInnis in the August 10 gubernatorial primary, which saw record Republican turnout. McInnis, long considered the front-runner for the nomination, stumbled a month earlier amid allegations he plagiarized articles on water policy as part of a fellowship that paid him $300,000.
Speculation that Maes might drop out reached a frenzy this week on the heels of a Denver Post report that the Evergreen businessman had exaggerated his work on a Kansas police force in the 1980s. It was just the latest in a series of blunders Maes has made during his almost year-and-a-half effort to win the governorship.
GOP heavyweights pull support
Buck, who endorsed Maes in late August, pulled his backing Friday afternoon.
"After having a lengthy conversation with Dan Maes, it is clear to me that Dan is struggling to determine the best path for his campaign, his family and for Colorado," Buck said in a statement. "I have decided that I can no longer support his candidacy for governor of Colorado."
The loss of Buck's backing is only the most recent in an avalanche of top Republicans fleeing the political novice.
On Thursday, former Senate President John Andrews — who lost a race for governor on the Republican ticket two decades ago — announced that he was no longer behind Maes despite a glowing endorsement of him just days earlier.
"As a conscientious Republican who earlier voted for Dan, I cannot support a manifestly unfit nominee," Andrews said in a statement. "He has flunked his job interview with the people of Colorado in the weeks since Scott McInnis faded. The party should cut Maes loose if he does not resign the nomination."
Andrews said he intended to write in the name of former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton, who lost her primary race against Buck for the Senate seat last month.
Maes had a message Friday for past supporters who pulled their endorsements this week:
"To those who have withdrawn their support for my campaign, I am confident that the truth will be revealed," he said. "I hope you'll hear my side of the story and help our party regroup and unite to beat the Democrats."
He also thanked the handful of prominent Republicans — including former U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, former Aurora Mayor Paul Tauer and state Sen. Dave Schultheis — who hadn't abandoned him.
Maes backer blasts turncoats
Reached by telephone Friday afternoon, Tauer said he was "absolutely" sticking with Maes and had some harsh word for Republicans who have withdrawn their support of the candidate.
"I think it's atrocious that some of the people are doing what they're doing," Tauer said, "in my mind, helping to damage the Republican Party by abandoning the candidate, whoever the candidate might be — in this case Dan Maes."
Tauer said he was "delighted" Maes had decided to stay in the race and had encouraged as much.
"I sent him an e-mail to that regard last night," Tauer said, "hoping he would decide to stay in the race and not bow to the pressure."
Tancredo, a former Republican congressman, bolted the GOP in July and launched a run for governor on the American Constitution Party ticket. As recently as two weeks ago, Tancredo offered to end his campaign — and avoid splitting the conservative vote — if Maes would drop out and allow Republican officials to name a replacement candidate.
"Five weeks ago I told Republicans that Mr. Maes was both professionally and personally unqualified to be their candidate," Tancredo said in a statement Friday afternoon. "I gave them several opportunities to get him out, even offering them my candidacy as an inducement."
The announcements came the same day Colorado's top election officers are required to make the fall ballot official and send it to county clerks. Department of State spokesman Rich Coolidge confirmed the ballot had been certified late Friday afternoon.
In a statement issued Thursday, Secretary of State Bernie Buescher said that, "(any) last minute changes to the ballot after tomorrow's deadline will need to be addressed on a county-by-county basis."
The state Republican Party has officially supported its gubernatorial nominee since Maes won the primary, but as increasingly damaging revelations surfaced this week, efforts had been underway to get him to withdraw.
Wadhams denies pushing Maes with 'damaging evidence'
A story published earlier Friday by the Washington, D.C.-based Politico referenced an anonymous source who said Maes met Friday morning with members of the Colorado Republican Party's executive committee. According to the political news site's account, powerful Republicans confronted Maes with further "damaging evidence" about him that hadn't yet been made public in a last ditch effort to force him from the race.
But GOP Chairman Dick Wadhams unequivocally denied that the meeting described in Politico had taken place.
"There was no meeting with Maes by me and/or the executive committee," Wadhams told The Statesman on Friday afternoon. He also said the GOP did not have any "damaging evidence" against Maes, as was reported in the Politico story.
Nate Strauch, spokesman for Maes' campaign, also told The Statesman that the purported meeting did not occur.
However, a member of the state's 24-member executive committee told The Statesman late in the day Friday that, while no official meeting of the executive committee had been convened, a member of the committee talked with Maes about the mounting negative information beginning to leak out about his personal and professional background. The top GOP official asked Maes to seriously consider withdrawing his name from the ballot before the 5 p.m. Friday deadline for ballot certification.
Maes' decision to stay in the race was met with varied reaction from Republicans. Most stunning, perhaps, was an announcement issued by the Colorado GOP just minutes after Friday's ballot certification deadline. The statement, signed by Wadhams, didn't include Maes' name on the list of Republican candidates that had the official support of the state party.
"Colorado Republicans are firmly committed to the election of Ken Buck as U.S. Senator over the accidental senator, Michael Bennet. We will reelect John Suthers as Attorney General and also elect Scott Gessler as Secretary of State and Walker Stapleton as State Treasurer," Wadhams said in the release.
Likewise, Wadhams continued, "Congressmen Doug Lamborn and Mike Coffman will be reelected and we have strong candidates in the other five congressional districts. In fact, recent public polls show Scott Tipton leading John Salazar in the Third District, Cory Gardner leading Betsy Markey in the Fourth District, and Ryan Frazier over Ed Perlmutter in the Seventh District. Dr. Mike Fallon and Stephen Bailey are running spirited campaigns in the First and Second Districts respectively.?I am proud to stand with Ken Buck, John Suthers, Scott Gessler, Walker Stapleton, Doug Lamborn, Mike Coffman, Mike Fallon, Stephen Bailey, Scott Tipton, Cory Gardner, Ryan Frazier, and our outstanding candidates for the state legislature."
Wadhams said Maes' continued candidacy in the race practically ensures that Hickenlooper will become Colorado's next governor.
"The only way Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper could win this election for governor is by being handed the kind of race he was today by Dan Maes and Tom Tancredo," Wadhams said.
Past GOP guv candidate backs Tancredo
Schuck, a longtime Colorado Springs real estate developer, said he is also terribly disheartened and disappointed that Maes refused to drop out of the race, especially since it has become clear that his candidacy hurts other GOP candidates down the ballot.
He also expressed gratitude and appreciation to Tancredo for intervening in the race to try to get Maes to withdraw.
"He's the hero in this whole thing," said Schuck Friday afternoon. "His move to the ACP was a noble gesture to salvage all that could be saved for our party. I am committing to him for governor."
Schuck added that the latest developments in the race provide an opportunity for other Republicans to demonstrate support for "the one guy who put his body in front of the tank," referring to Tancredo. And for those who might think Tancredo's entrance into the race had to do with ego or a sense of narcissism, Schuck quickly doused such speculation.
"Everything that Tom did was as a patriot and a conservative," Schuck said. "He warned us of the shortcomings of the nominee and chose to do something about the problem. I'm prepared and committed to go down the line for him."
Not everyone agrees with Schuck's decision.
Several other prominent Republicans earlier aligned with Democrat Hickenlooper, including wealthy businessmen Larry Mizel and Greg Maffei, who are hosting a bipartisan fundraiser for Hickenlooper later this month.
And former Denver County GOP chair Smith told The Statesman this week that she considers Hickenlooper "eminently qualified" to be the next governor.

Tourists' Riordan fires seven shutout innings
Published: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 at 12:25 a.m.
ASHEVILLE -- The cold didn't bother starter Cory Riordan on Tuesday as the Asheville Tourists returned to McCormick Field following an eight-game road trip.
"I'm a Northeast boy. I'm used to it." said Riordan, who fired seven shutout innings in the Tourists' 9-0 win over West Virginia.
The right-hander struck out 10 while allowing just four hits. He walked one.
"He really had command of his fastball and got ahead in the count all night," Asheville manager Joe Mikulik said.
Darin Holcomb launched a two-out, two-run home run off of Power starter Evan Anundsen (1-1) in the first inning, the first of six two-out RBIs.
Riordan (2-1) and righty Mark Reynolds, who pitched the final two innings, combined for a shutout against a team which entered the game as the second-worst hitting team in the South Atlantic League.
The not-so-powerful Power were a welcome sight for Asheville, which went 1-4 to end the road swing.
"It was a long eight days," Riordan said. "We didn't finish the trip well so it was nice to come back home."
The Tourists move to 8-5 on the season. West Virginia falls to 3-10.
Asheville added single runs in the second and fifth innings to lead 4-0 heading into the eighth.
West Virginia relievers Pedro Lambertus and Jose Garcia combined to walk four of the first five hitters to start the bottom of the eighth. Two-run singles from Kevin Clark (2-for-3, run, double) and Everth Cabrera put the game out of reach.
"We didn't swing the bats well on the road trip," Mikulik said. "We did better today but we still need to improve two-strike hitting."
Asheville hitters combined to strike out 14 times.
The same teams play again tonight at McCormick Field. Asheville right-hander Connor Graham will face righty R.J. Seidel at 7:05 p.m.
Prior to first pitch the Colorado Rockies will present 13 team officials, including members of last year's Tourists' staff, with National League championship rings.

The City of Delta is proposing a safer downtown and promising it won't take a tax increase to make it happen. They plan to do this with an alternate route to divert the heavy volume of truck traffic away from town.
A study done in 2008 showed that an average of 21,000 vehicles passed through the town of Delta every day, with just under 12,000 of them being semi trucks. That's why the city is looking to provide a four lane alternate route for these trucks. "Trucks that are coming back and forth that have no intention of stopping," says Assistant City Manager Steve Glammeyer.
The City says rerouting these trucks will have little impact on the local businesses, and that was a big factor. The City of Delta lives off sales tax so it's critical they get behind it," says Glammeyer.
Officials say that reducing truck traffic through Main Street would improve parking safety, make downtown more customer friendly, and reduce noise and dust. "Comments about how scary it was to park downtown, fear of opening their doors, mirrors getting ripped off," says Linda Sanchez, executive director of the Delta Chamber of Commerce.
An added bonus to the plan is that the project could be funded without raising taxes. The City already has a one cent sales in place to help fund projects like this, they just need the okay from voters. "People are going to pay the tax before November 3 and after November 3, they're not going to pay anymore," says Glammeyer.
On top of the reduction in traffic to the downtown area, the new overpass will provide a secondary route around railroad delays. "When there's a train, there is no emergence service to north Delta for up to 30 minutes," says Glammeyer. The overpass will improve access for fire, ambulance and police to north Delta which is home to one third of the city's population.
Officials and residence hope that with the new bypass in place the small town feel will return. "We're hoping to bring back the charm," says Sanchez. If the vote goes through this November 3, the plans will be finalized by this April. Construction could begin as early as next year and will take two years to complete.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Three food safety bills crafted by California State Sen. Dean Florez have passed the state Senate. Senate Bills 200, 201 and 202, which would enact tougher oversight on California leafy greens growers, were drafted by Florez in response to last fall's E. coli outbreak in fresh spinach. The bills have been a controversial issue within the state's produce industry, however. Chelling, spokesman for Western Growers in Irvine, said the additional proposed oversight is ...

STOCKTON - A 60-year-old man became Stockton's 49th homicide victim of the year Monday when he was shot during a robbery of his gold chain at Victory Park.
Armando Pina told officers who arrived at the popular park on Pershing Avenue at 3:08 p.m. that he had been robbed of a gold chain. Pina, who was shot, was taken to a hospital, where he died of his injuries.
It was the first homicide in Stockton in two weeks. Two people were killed Sept. 3.
Witnesses described the gunmen as two Latino or black males in their late teens wearing hooded sweatshirts. They fled on foot after the shooting, running south on Columbia Avenue, then east on Poplar Street toward Pershing Avenue.
With the rising value of gold, jewelry thefts have become common. More than 170 gold chain robberies have been reported to the Stockton Police Department this year, according to Officer Joe Silva.
Anyone with information about Monday's shooting is asked to contact the Stockton Police Department at (209) 937-8377 or Crime Stoppers at (209) 946-0600. Tipsters also can submit a tip on the Stockton Police Department's Facebook page.

It wasn't so long ago that gamers all over were a bit on edge about the moves at Microsoft, especially when there was word that Stephen Elop would be slipping into devices at Microsoft. That was a particularly distressing development, but a new letter from Microsoft shaped things up quite a bit, and gave gamers everywhere—particularly Microsoft gamers—reason to hope again.
The new letter came out from Satya Nadella, current CEO of Microsoft, who announced a few changes to the business roster at Microsoft. The biggest parts of the letter came in putting Stephen Elop in at devices, and Phil Spencer in a very exciting slot indeed. Spencer's new slot essentially put him in charge of all things Xbox, from Xbox Video to Xbox Music to even Microsoft Studios, the game-making arm of Microsoft. Elop, meanwhile, is said to be "working closely with" Spencer, meaning that any idea of Microsoft selling Xbox is unlikely to ever actually come to pass. That's good news for gamers—man, is it ever!--but it only gets better thanks to an interview that Spencer staged with GamesBeat.
Spencer, based on the interview, is eager to make gaming "a first-class citizen in everything Microsoft does," and that sure sounds like some comforting corporate-speak. But Spencer might have a little extra behind that, given as he recently took the stage at the Game Developers' Conference in substitute for recently-departing Marc Whitten. Spencer then acknowledged some missteps on Microsoft's part—the higher price of the Xbox One, for example, as well as the issue surrounding used games—before noting that he was planning to turn that around, starting with a deeper relationship with Xbox fans.
While Spencer made some points about the overall future of the Xbox One, particularly in regard to its various entertainment features, Spencer further made it clear he would be "...leading with gaming..." and that E3 was going to be "...a nice E3 this year". It included conversations with all the main names—EA, Activision, Take-Two, Ubisoft and so on—and Spencer further noted that "our third-party partners have been so important to our success".
This is a good sign, or at least reasonably so. If the line holds throughout Microsoft's development, then we could be looking at a lot of great games in the future. There are still plenty to emerge, too; we've seen the "Mad Max" game get pushed back, "Dying Light" is at last report still on "to be announced" mode and if anyone knows where the next "Fallout" game is it would be a wonder. There's quite a bit sitting out there, and E3 is likely going to start telling a few stories all its own. Given that E3 is a little over two months out, we should be starting to hear some bits and pieces about things emerging at the show over the course of the next couple of weeks, give or take. The key point is, though, that Microsoft seems to be starting to appreciate the gamer, and should be putting out some prime material to keep its operation afloat in the coming months.

Soybean accessions in the USDA germplasm collection will be crossed with known cytoplasmic restorer lines to identify cytoplasmic male sterile cytoplasms. Sterility mutants (nuclear) obtained via gene tagging from the w4-mutable system will be characterized genetically. Both the cytoplasmic and nuclear sterility mutants will be used in a phenotypic recurrent selection system, with insect-mediated cross-pollination, to increase hybrid seed production. The plant factors that contribute to the increased attraction/reward of the insect pollinators will be identified, characterized, and molecularly mapped.

Misc. Comments
- The attribution to Händel described as "doubtful" over at Allmusic.com - no.4 of a set of 6 trio sonatas that, according to Burney, were discovered by Hugh Hume, earl of Marchmont, during a visit to Germany in the 1720s-30s (according to the notes to the Hyperion recording of the sonatas - which continue that following the lead of the "German scholar Hugo Leichtentritt in the 1920s, many authorities simply could not accept that they were the work of a ten- or eleven- year old") - etc.
- Grove Music, though listing this in the "Doubtful and spurious" category, says the original instrumentation was oboe, violin, and continuo. Therefore tagged for both possibilities.

A Jackson family in need got a very big Christmas present Thursday.
"Here's the keys to your new house! Merry Christmas," said Capt. Ken Chapman, of the Salvation Army.
The Canford family lost their home to a fire in October. They were given a new one with the help of the Salvation Army and a generous donor.
"It's a place for them to live as a family. They'll have a great holiday here with the Christmas spirit, Jackson-style," Chapman said.
The Canford family had been living in the Salvation Army shelter since the fire.

Make Your Dream Board An Affirmation for 2013

I love January. It's the start of a new year and many think it's time to start anew. I am not one to make resolutions. In fact making resolutions can be rather anxiety provoking. Instead, I like the idea of making a dream board. A dream board can be a collection of wishes, hopes, or expectations that speak to us. Coming up with things we'd like to do, place to visit, books to read, forms of exercise to try or continue to do, people to spend time with or items we'd like to own. Want to exercise more or just start? What type of activity do you already like to do or have wanted to try or do more of? Putting a picture of a golfer on your board can express the wish to improve your golf game or just play more. Do you like to read? How about making a list of 4-6 books you've always wanted to read and place that list on the board? Not sure what you want to read, look at the best seller list and read the descriptions. You'll know what sparks your interest from the reviews. Maybe you have people in mind that you'd love to get in touch with or spend more time with. How about adding their picture or names to your dream board as reminders to you to reach out to them? Got a trip in mind? My family is going to California soon to visit my step son and his fiancé. We are adding a list to our family dream board of the places we want to visit and things we want to do while in California. Also on our family board is a picture of a red Ford Flex; a new car is in the future.
A dream board can be a powerful affirmation. What makes you tick? What excites you? What is important to you and how do you know? Sometimes looking through photos in magazines, newspapers, on line or printed photos can produce a reaction in us and provide clues as to what moves us or propels us forward.

Xin Nian Kuai Le HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is the year of the Tiger My suggestion to the U.S is that it would be best all round if you left said Tiger's tail alone.
*********************************************** Gossip from the forest. What are all the people in China doing now? Worrying about what America will do next? Worrying about the economy? Worrying and pondering how to become a democracy? No. The people of China are preparing for Chinese New Year. There is a mass movement of millions of people returning home to celebrate the New Year with their family. Mountains of food are being prepared for the New Year dinner that will be held on New Years Eve, this Saturday night, the 13th February. Millions, indeed probably billions, of red envelopes are being filled with money to give to children, family and friends, hong bao. Children are looking forward to New Years Day when they will get new clothes and lots of money, sui qian. It is a day when parents can't be negative, so they have to say yes to just about anything their children ask for. All over China red paper with New Year greetings painted on it is being pasted onto doors, tie chun. Hen duo, hen duo bian pao (many many fireworks) are being purchased. The fun starts on New Years Eve so that the streets are filled with red paper on New Years Day, symbolising good luck. The greeting is 'zhu ni xin nian kuai le, gong xi fa cai' wishing you a happy and prosperous new year. (phonetically pronounced: jew knee shin nian k'why lur, goo'ng she far ch'eye). Greeting cards are sent to all and sundry. China Daily has provided several which can be emailed to friends. They are a rich cultural experience. I suspect that if America does do anything startling over the 15 day New Year period China will treat it as a naughty child and ignored. Mind you, given the insensitivity to Chinese culture and feelings of late, this is the very time America might choose to respond to China¡¯s stated position over Taiwan. In the last week Taiwan, the Dalai Lama, trade sanctions etc have all but disappeared from the Chinese media. The message is clear. China has made its position clear; it is now waiting to see what America will do next. For further information about Chinese New Year, including a picture of me going deaf amid a cacophony of exploding fireworks and twisting dragons, see here and here Before we went to the celebration Mei had told me to be prepared because there would be many flies. I thought that a few flies would not get in the way of a good time, so smiled in understanding. She had meant, of course, fireworks. I have to tell you that a couple of small wads of cotton wool are useless as a protection against extreme and continuous noise. Mei saw a news item about the people from Honk Kong travelling to Guang Zhou in search of Chinese merchandise and the people of Guang Zhou travelling to Hong Kong in search of western merchandise. Recent news has it that China's imports surged by 85% in January. What does that tell the world about the potential to export to China and tap into that growing market?
CCTV 9. Free trade talks between Taiwan and China were suspended for the Chinese New Year. It was noted by the presenter that cross straight tensions would not materially impact on China's relationship with America. Shortly after WWII Taiwan was closely aligned with the U.S and this was supported by a comfortable majority of people in Taiwan. Now, it is roughly a 50:50 split between those who want independence from China and those who would like to join China. My observation is that America has sought to retain Taiwan as a launching pad in the event it had to go to war with China. It has used the political culture of Taiwan to form a close alliance in the guise of protecting Taiwan. Sales of arms to Taiwan has always been on the pretext of providing enough arms for Taiwan to defend itself. That is now patently ludicrous. China can take Taiwan whenever it chooses. So, Taiwan is effectively paying America protection money. Until recently America could have made good its commitment to defend Taiwan. Can it now? That is open to debate as I outlined in 'Where to now America?' It may take many more years, but the logic is that Taiwan will eventually, of its own free will, be a part of China. Given the benefits Macau has seen from returning to the fold, it is only hurting Taiwan to stay aloof. $US 6 bn is a hell of a lot of protection money. There was an interview with the Jamaican Prime Minister who is keen to establish closer relations with China. Indeed, Jamaica established diplomatic relations with China in 1972. The next programme discussed the meeting between President Obama and the Dalai Lama. The theme being China's role in the world and how it can communicate its message more effectively, particularly on issues such as Tibet. I was struck by the lack of understanding the Chinese commentators had of the depth of feeling the west has for this issue. They talked of sending emissaries from Tibet to talk to politicians in America. The Dalai Lama has had nearly 60 years of complete access to the world's media to get his message across. During that time, the western media portrayed China as an aggressive communist state intent on world dominations, like the USSR. Now it is portrayed as big, scary and inscrutable. It simply does not matter what the Chinese say about Tibet, it is not believed in the west. In my opinion, it is an issue best left to one side for the moment. As China opens up and as more people visit Tibet, then the 'true' story will slowly emerge. Like Davos, China had, for the first time, a prominent role at the NATO conference held in Munich. In his speech China's foreign minister noted that China's rise should be seen as an opportunity not a threat. That no power can solve the world's problems alone. Mr Mei Zhaorong, China's former ambassador to Germany was asked how he would respond to NATO's overture. His reply, 'VERY carefully'.
My take - China's international role is now going from important to vital. The world has to come to terms with this. This week the programmes on the issues of Taiwan, Tibet and NATO were to show that China had arrived, and America had better get used to it. Then a quiet chat about learning English in China. The advertisements feature the presenter and crew of dialogue doing very Chinese New Year things. They smile a lot and are very relaxed. One telling story this week concerned the steadily closer ties between Japan and China. One of the stumbling blocks has been Japan's war of aggression against China in the 1930's and early 40's, in particular the Nanking Massacre of 1937. It appears that while Japan as a nation has reluctantly accepted responsibility for the atrocity, it is still quibbling over the details, the number killed. The barbarity of the Nanking massacre is not defined by the number killed, but by the act itself. Do the Japanese seriously believe they are saving 'face' by reducing the numbers? It is a permanent stain on Japan, one they must acknowledge to save it being repeated. Japan could learn from Germany on this issue.

Markets lost further ground on Thursday and the BSE Sensex closed below 7950 level after an intra-day swing of almost 297 points.
The BSE Sensex closed 35.94 points down at 7,935.12, after hitting an intraday low of 7,838.02.
The NSE Nifty closed 17.00 points down at 2,395.45 after hitting an intraday low of 2,363.55.

Metal, music and some serious skateboarding moves inspired two new Scion cars for the upcoming Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) Show. Scion will debut the "Scion x Slayer Mobile Amp tC" for heavy metal band Slayer and the "Scion x Riley Hawk Skate Tour xB" for pro skateboarder Riley Hawk at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nov. 4-7, 2014.
Frequently cited for its deep influence on other metal bands, Slayer has a vibe, sound and integrity all its own. The band's aggressive style carries into the tC sports coupe's exterior look and band-inspired details. Inside, the vehicle has been transformed into a multimedia machine with amps, towers of speakers, a custom mixer and a 32-inch monitor for media playback. Mike Vu of MV DESIGNZ is leading the build process.
"Slayer's fans are going to be excited when we reveal what a metal-inspired Scion tC looks like," Slayer guitarist Kerry King said. "Working with Scion has given us another way to reach new audiences and inspire them to keep going down their own paths."
Beyond his skateboarding career, Riley Hawk is a rock 'n' roll aficionado with an appreciation for 70s style. His xB ride combines those three passions through its high-end sound system, space for skateboards and classic orange and yellow striped paint job. Details like bubble windows, interior wood grain paneling, an 8-track player and requisite shag carpet make it a rolling, retro hangout spot. The build is being led by Scott Kanemura of KMA Productions.
"Every element of this Scion xB represents some part of my life," Riley said. "I'm looking forward to showing it at SEMA and having people check it out!"
Both project vehicles will join a diverse collection of modified Scions at SEMA, including three FR-S sport coupes designed by media partners as part of the 10th annual Scion Tuner Challenge. While the SEMA Show is not open to the public, there will be opportunities to see the Slayer tC and Skate Tour xB at Scion events later in the year.
"SEMA is the ultimate opportunity to look at Scion vehicles through a new lens," said Doug Murtha, vice president of Scion. "We're looking forward to showing fans what Riley Hawk and the members of Slayer envisioned for the tC and xB and encourage fans to imagine for themselves."

AbstractExisting traffic information acquisition systems suffer from high cost and low scalability. To address these problems, the application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has been studied, as WSN-based systems are highly scalable and have a low cost of installing and replacing the systems. Magnetic, acoustic and accelerometer sensors have been considered for WSN-based traffic surveillance, but the use of ultrasonic sensors has not been studied. The limitations of WSN-based systems make it necessary to employ power saving methods and vehicle detection algorithms with low computational complexity. In this paper, we model and analyze optimal power saving methodologies for an ultrasonic sensor and present a computationally-efficient vehicle detection algorithm using ultrasonic data. The proposed methodologies are implemented and evaluated with a tiny microprocessor on real roads. The evaluation results show that the low computational complexity of our algorithm does not compromise the accuracy of vehicle detection.
Keywords: power saving; low computational complexity; ultrasonic sensors; traffic information acquisition systems; wireless sensor networks

Men on Men 7: Best New Gay Fiction
David Bergman
Plume, 1998 - Fiction - 379 pages
This extraordinary collection of gay fiction builds on the six previous volumes in the series, which is firmly established throughout the literary world as the cornerstone of America's gay literary tradition. The stories in this seventh edition are diverse, culled from the talents of established authors such as Andrew Holleran, Felice Picano, and Allen Ellenzwaig, as well as from the work of new young writers.
There are new themes in this seventh edition: more stories deal with the working class milieu and address class issues and insecurities; relationships between gay men and lesbian women are portrayed, as is the impact of the media on gay life; and more of these stories are unabashedly sexually explicit than in previous collections. Bergman's collection once again reflects the continuing vitality of gay literature and attests to its ability to confront the challenges of our times.

I'm very fond of Star Trek. I love its vision of humanity at peace, the dream of a world without hunger or poverty. I have to force myself not to salute when I hear its mission statement.
But perhaps what makes the Trek series really work for its fans are its leaders, its great captains. James T. Kirk, JeanLuc Picard, Kathryn Janeway and others. It is easy to imagine following them. They have courage. They have passion. They have confidence. And they have vision. Vision is the life-blood of great enterprises. Or is it?

Ever been to a carnival or arcade and played the Whac-a-Mole Game?. There's a platform with a top side that is solid, and has about a half dozen holes in it. Inside each hole, a small mechanized mole is hidden. You are given a great big, goofy, foam-rubber-headed mallet. When the game begins, the moles pop up, for just a second, one at a time in a random order. If you can hit one before he hides again, you get a point. They move fast! A second may be a generous estimate. You have a short amount of time to whack as many as possible.
If you can whack enough, you win a prize. Usually, it's a stuffed animal bigger than your 5 year old nephew. Whac-a-Mole is a challenge of wits, reaction time and hand-eye coordination. Like most carnival games, It looks easier than it is to do. If you don't win on your first try, it's tempting to try again. How hard can it be to get a few more moles next time?
The game is so popular that Mattel created a tabletop kids' version. It sells for about $25.00.
What does that have to do with a blog about MMO's? Well, today KingsIsle announced that now Wizard101 Test realm is open! Huzzah! How did they know I needed something else to do during the holiday season! I thought about it and it dawned on me, we are all playing Whac-a-Mole now, a more time-consuming and expensive version, but still, pretty much the same game. For the past six months KingsIsle has been setting it up, and I would say with this new test realm announcement, we have a pretty complete set of "Moles" to whack.
- Avalon – Whack!
- Pirate101 Beta – Whack!
- Pirate101 Live! Whack!
- Mega Pets-including the need for extreme gardening- Whack!
- Pirate101 on Test –Whack!
- Azteca on test realm! Whack!
- Azteca goes live-Whack!
- Transcendent Crafter-Whack!
- Pirate101 test returns with a brand new PVP system-Whack!
- Wizard101 Test realm opens to test new crafting and a new mini game.- Whack!
If you can keep up with the whacking of all these moles before the next one arrives, you truly deserve the 3 foot tall stuffed polar bear. Except you don't get one.
Now that I latched on to this analogy, I'm not stopping there. There's another version in full swing now, the Hoard Pack Whack.
A new Hoard pack is out? It has the BEST WAND EVER introduced in this game? Must have one! Spare no expense, buy more Crowns, MUST HAVE! Many crowns are spent over the weeks it takes to finally get the lucky, lucky drop. Now all unlucky friends will be envious. The arena shall be conquered. Today is a great day!
What does the next day bring?
A new Hoard pack! And guess what? It has the BEST WAND EVER introduced in this game! Whack!
I think I will put the Mattel Whac-a-Mole on my Christmas list. It is far less expensive than paying for game subscriptions alone. For the less than price of 3 month's subscription, you can own this game that will last years! And you don't have to worry about needing to gamble your money away continually for better and better mallets. And it's far less time consuming. You might actually find more time for that elusive "real life" thing. Family members will gladly take turns whacking real-life toy moles with you.
The KI version seems to be a quite competitive genre. Their moles are popping up faster and faster, daring the most dedicated players to just try to keep up. My arms are aching, my head is spinning from staring at the holes, I'm exhausted, and today I was asked to help test the Pirate PVP system over the weekend, And then I see the Wizard101 test realm notice. I just don't have any more "whacks" in me.
Santa, please bring me a Whac-a-Mole game.

Students on the job
January 28, 2010 - Jennifer Houtman
About 40 Marietta Middle School students visited The Marietta Times this morning to learn about ways we use computers in our jobs.
The eighth-graders learned about designing newspaper pages, posting stories to our Web site and how some staffers create newspaper advertisements.
We enjoyed having the students here and hope a few them saw something they liked. That was the idea of the program, The Teen Career Awareness Initiative which is offered through the Washington County Family and Children's First Council.
Eleven local businesses paticipated. Thanks to Marylou Moegling who helped to organize the event. Check Friday's Marietta Times for a full report on the students' day visiting local businesses.

Polymer Nanocomposites
The TWA focuses on the technical problems in standardization of these polymeric materials, containing nano-particles, lamellar or fibrillar, natural or synthetic. Since some test methods developed for polymeric materials can be used for polymer nanocomposites (PNC), the TWA activities may be divided into two categories:
- Development of specific test methods for the characterization of nanoparticles
- Development of new methods, or modification of existing ones, for characterization of PNC showing different behavior than that of neat resin.
To achieve the objectives an international collaboration has been initiated with industrial partners from three continents
Active Projects
- Determination of the shape, size and size distribution of nano-filler particles
- Electrical characterization of polymer nanocomposites
- Mechanical testing of polymer nanocomposites
- Clays for Polymeric Nanocomposites
