Amid the Noise, Here's a North Korean Signal to Watch For
North Korea's decision on Wednesday to sever the last military communications link with South Korea was significant because the phone line is used to coordinate traffic heading from the South into the Kaesong Industrial Complex, a few miles inside the North.
Without that hot line, operations at the jointly-run manufacturing zone could have been affected if managers and materials from the South hadn't been able to get to the park. But according to reports Thursday morning, traffic heading from the South into the industrial zone has been unaffected. Hundreds of South Koreans travel to the park each day.
South Korea officials said the North Korean authorities used a separate phone line from the park's management office to provide access for the roughly 200 vehicles that crossed the border, according to Reuters.
The continuation of operations at Kaesong isn't a surprise. During previous periods of inter-Korean tension, North Korea has threatened to close the project. But it has remained opened even as all other cooperation has been suspended after provocations by North Korea against the South, including two attacks in 2010 that killed 50 South Koreans.
South Korea has taken steps such as encouraging companies to reduce the number of delivery and management staff they send into Kaesong or restricted South Koreans from staying there for multiple days, but has remained keen to keep the operation open as a symbol of cooperation even as relations with North Korea have deteriorated.
The industrial zone opened in late 2004 and was a product of the first-ever inter-Korean summit meeting in 2000 between South Korean President Kim Dae-jung and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. More than 120 South Korean companies employ about 50,000 North Koreans to make basic products such as shoes and bags.
As well as being a source of cheap labor for the South, it's a lucrative operation for the North; the factories there account for about $2 billion in trade and some of the companies based at the industrial park are among the biggest employers in Kaesong, North Korea's third-largest city. Wages are paid directly to the North's government.
The Kaesong Industrial Complex has simply been too lucrative for North Korea to close. For that reason, if Pyongyang ever does decide to take steps (not just threats) that would shut the project, it is about a clear a signal as the South is likely to get of a significant step down in relations and a potential security threat, rather than the near-daily warnings that Seoul will be turned into a sea of fire.

In news that will completely ruin your Leap Day, lead singer of The Monkees, Davy Jones, has died after suffering a heart attack, according to a Florida medical examiner.
Jones, who was 66, lived in Florida with his wife and four children, but he also owned a horse farm in Beavertown, Pennsylvania.
According to inside sources, Jones would often perform at small venues in Snyder County, Pennsylvania, though, he was often reluctant to play songs from his days with The Monkeess. An anonymous source told us, "The locals were disgruntled that he would only play new material at the clubs. They wanted to hear the hits."
We could play one of The Monkees many popular songs to commemorate Jones' death, but we're not going to since it seems like he wanted to keep those days behind him. So instead, let us honor Davy with his memorable cameo in the hit, 90s TV show, "Boy Meets World."

Objective This study assessed the impact of changes in school food policy on student lunch consumption in middle schools
Methods Two years of lunch food records were collected from students at three middle schools in the Houston, Texas area. During the first year, no changes occurred in the school food environment. After that school year was completed, chips and dessert foods were removed from the snack bars of all schools by the Food Service Director. Students recorded the amount and source of food and beverage items consumed. Point-of-service purchase machines provided a day-by-day electronic data file with food and beverage purchases from the snack bars during the 2-year period. Independent t-tests and time series analyses were used to document the impact of the policy change on consumption and sales data between the two years
Results In general, student consumption of sweetened beverages declined and milk, calcium, vitamin A, saturated fat and sodium increased after the policy change. Snack chips consumption from the snack bar declined in year 2; however, consumption of snack chips and candy from vending increased and the number of vending machines in study schools doubled during the study period. Ice cream sales increased significantly in year 2
Conclusions Policy changes on foods sold in schools can result in changes in student consumption from the targeted environments. However, if all environments do not make similar changes, compensation may occur

Plano man arrested in shooting at Frisco's Shops at Starwood
Frisco police have arrested a 40-year-old Plano man who they say shot another man in the parking lot of the Shops at Starwood.
The shooting happened around 1:10 a.m. Police say Christopher Ducret encountered a couple arguing in the parking lot of the luxury shopping center. Ducret intervened, police said, and then shot the man.
The victim, who has not been identified, was rushed to the Medical Center of Plano. The extent of his injuries weren't released, but police said Saturday morning that he was in stable condition.
Ducret "surrendered to police peacefully," authorities said. He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was awaiting arraignment in the Frisco Jail Saturday morning.
Police confirmed that Ducret did have a permit to legally carry a concealed handgun.

News 12 First at Five / Monday, April 1, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Augusta commissioners will hear from both sides on the Clean Augusta Downtown initiative, known as CADI, Tuesday night.
More than half of the downtown business owners have signed petitions to bring the program back.
"I've heard it's make or break time. I hope they get rid of it," said downtown business owner Mike Walraven.
Walraven has been fighting against CADI from the beginning, and Tuesday night will be no different.
"We still don't need this. We need security or extra law enforcement in downtown and that's what we need," Walraven said.
CADI board members will tell commissioners about changes to the program and how every business will pay the same rate for the service.
Board members say time is running out to bring the cleanup crew back.
"We'd like to be in a position that when we move to a lockdown of the digest, that all these matters are finalized," said Richmond County Tax Assessor Alveno Ross.
Ross needs the final word from commissioners on CADI so his office can prepare the tax bills.
"That affects the tax bill, depending on which tax district you are coded in," Ross said.
"The city is doing a good job cleaning. The CADI program was supposed to be supplemental to the city. I don't see a need for $400,000," Walraven said.
Now, it's all up to commissioners.

TSURO - Guest Review
by Brian Linnen
Last week at Comix Connection-Mechanicsburg's Tuesday "Board Game Night" we played another brand new game. This one is from WizKids and is called TSURO.
No lie - it takes about sixty seconds to learn the rules to this game! Basically, you move your piece around the board on a winding path. You build the path as you go by placing tiles. As you place the tiles to extend your path, you also try to force your opponents off the board. Why? Because the last player on the board is the winner.
We played with five people and each game took about 10-15 minutes. With five players, we didn't usually get close enough to our opponents to influence their path until the last few turns, but it was still very fun. I imagine that with even more players (it plays 2-8), it can get quite crazy!
For two weeks in a row, all of us really enjoyed our introduction to a new game. I don't think it's because we are all easy to impress - I think it's because the game companies are bringing out some extremely solid products just in time for the holidays. Tsuro is well worth looking into.

Cold Weather Safety
Winter weather brings a variety of recreational opportunities. While it can be fun to play and explore in the cold, extreme low temperatures can cause potentially life-threatening health problems. This is especially true for infants and elderly people who lose body heat more quickly than others.
Two of the most common cold-related medical problems are hypothermia and frostbite.
Hypothermia is an abnormally low body temperature (below 95ºF) that results from prolonged exposure to cold weather. While it is most likely to occur in extreme cold conditions, you might also be at risk in temperatures above 40ºF if you are wet from sweat or precipitation.
Hypothermia affects your brain and can cause confusion. You may not even realize you are overly chilled. Other symptoms of hypothermia include drowsiness, shivering, and exhaustion. A person with hypothermia may even become unconscious and stop breathing.
Hypothermia is a medical emergency. If immediate medical care is not available, a person experiencing hypothermia should be taken into a warm place or shelter. Wet clothing needs to be removed and warm, dry clothing and/or blankets applied. If the person is conscious, then warm, non-alcoholic beverages can be given to raise the body temperature. Medical help should be sought as soon as possible.
Frostbite can also occur in cold temperatures, especially if you are improperly dressed, or if you have problems with circulation. Frostbite occurs when a body part freezes. It most often occurs in uncovered or poorly covered areas, such as the fingers, toes, nose, ears, or cheeks. A person who is frostbitten may develop white spots on the skin of the infected area. The skin may also feel numb and painful. Frostbite can be treated by slowly thawing the area in warm (but not hot) water. You can also use body heat; for example, placing frostbitten fingers into the armpit. Medical care should be sought as soon as possible.
How to Stay Safe in Extreme Cold
- Pay attention to the weather. When there are high and steady winds, you can lose heat from your body more quickly.
- Dress in several layers of loose clothing. Inner layers should be able to trap body heat, yet allow the skin to breathe. Wear thermal underwear made of silk, wool, or polypropylene. These are the best materials to capture heat and wick away moisture from your skin. The outer layer of clothing should be wind resistant to reduce the loss of body heat due to wind.
- Don't forget waterproof boots, a hat, gloves or mittens, and a scarf or mask to cover your nose and mouth.
- Skip the heavy outdoor chores if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure. Exertion adds the workload of staying warm and can strain your heart.
- Consider using cleats that slip over your shoes or boots for extra traction on hard-packed snow or ice.
- Avoid alcoholic beverages prior to going outdoors (and even while outside), as they can cause your body to lose heat more rapidly. Eat a healthy snack and drink a warm beverage, such as warm tea or broth. This can help maintain your body temperature in the cold air.
- Listen to the weather report for travel advisories, and avoid unnecessary travel during bad weather. If you must travel by car, make sure to tell someone your destination, when you expect to arrive, and the route you will take.
- Make sure you have an emergency kit for your car. It should include blankets, a first aid kit, waterproof matches, a candle, windshield scraper, booster cables, tool kit, bag of sand or cat litter to pour onto ice for traction, collapsible shovel, flashlight, and can of compressed air. If you become stranded, it is best to stay in your vehicle if visibility is poor.

On March 14, 1947, in Corinth, Miss., he married Wallace Muriel Cooley who preceded him in death on April 11, 1992.
He was also preceded in death by two sisters, Mary Ruth Carter and Doris Hope Carter; two brothers, Home Van Carter and John Henry Carter; a son-in-
law, Lwayne Beaird; and a great-grandson, Brandon Lewis Coleman.
Survivors include: one daughter, Marilyn Kay Beaird of Highlandville; two sons and daughters-in-law, Mike and Melinda Carter of Flower Mound, Texas, and Joe and Donna Carter of Charleston; one sister, Nettie Cook of Jackson, Tenn.; and 13 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
Graveside services were held Tuesday at Garden of Memories Cemetery in Sikeston.

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Big Benn throws two picks. One of them a pick six. 1250 fans lose their seats or are relocated. The snow and ice cost the stadiums surrounding communities tens of millions of dollars. The Hog basketball teams loses another home game. All of these pale in comparison to what Christina Aguilera did. She managed to sing the National Anthem in broken English, omit one sentence, and add a new phrase. did the former Mouseketeer really say reaming? Really? Reaming? Well The Show With No Name gave an opinion and I guess I was kinda hard on her but come on it is the National Anthem. A song you said you have sung since you were seven years old. Vanessa Williams said that the song is recorded so there wouldn't be such an embarrassing mistake in front of the millions looking on during the Super Bowl. Now I don't know if the former Miss. America was mistaken or what. I do however feel that the way that we as a people jump on and go for the jugular like a crocodile does a wildebeest that the next performer of that song, at that game, better record it or have a Karaoke machine handy.
That does it for football until spring practice begins. And with our basketball team being such a....such a....oh lets face it they really are not as good as we were oh say ALMOST TWENTY YEARS AGO team. You know what? Who is for that matter? I said it and I'll say it again.....Let Coach Pelphrey stay on and work his and only his recruits next year and if that doesn't work he will leave on his own. Who's kidding who. If John Pelphrey does finally become a success at Arkansas he will move on in hopes of one day leading his alma mater Kentucky. I can only echo what my friends David Bazzel and Jennings Osborne would say...Stay Strong John....stay strong!
I could ramble on and on but I won't. I did that in the second paragraph anyway. I almost forgot about our guest today. Harlem Globetrotter a native Arkansan Herbert 'Flight Time' Lang and former Washington General and native of Curmudgeonville Harry King. I know deep down Harry likes me. If he didn't he wouldn't take the time to spit at me when he leaves.
Tomorrow on the show there is a good chance we start talking about The Babe Bracket or Mount Rushmore of things we haven't put on Mount Rushmore.

HTC Legend and Desire Smartphones with Enhanced Sense
Taiwanese manufacturer HTC announced at Embedded World in Barcelona that in the coming spring it will release two new Android mobile phones for which it further developed its Sense user experience.
Sense is the name of the user interface that HTC introduced in mid-2009 for its Hero Android phone. The interface distinguishes itself from others in that users can thematically assemble personalized desktops and views. The new Sense enhancements extend to social networking and contacts: the new Friend Stream client application uploads new contacts from Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and others to the screen. Users can group local contacts into Friends or Colleagues (see the Gallery). HTC added another news reader feature as well as a view of the seven screens that belong to the Sense concept. This view shows thumbnails of all the screens, in case the user loses the overall context.
The Snapdragon-based phones present their applications on 3.2" (Legend) and 3.7" (Desire) screens, respectively. Instead of a trackball they include a sort of finger-operated optical joystick. The Legend also has the special characteristic of aluminum uni-body construction.
North American availability was not yet announced, but Vodafone and A1should be handling the phones in Europe and Telstra in Australia. The HTC Desire will hit the market Q2 in Europe and Asia; the Legend will roll out in April. Pricing will be revealed sometime in the future.

USGlass upset by board's WES study of Fenton site
February 14, 2014
The head of USGlass, owner of the Fenton Art Glass trademark, is calling foul on a decision by Wood County Schools to look at the Williamstown plant as the possible site of a new elementary school....
Likewise, US Glass, no one is questioning whether Keith Burdette, WV Sec of Commerce, would like to help bring manufacturing jobs back to WV. The question is whether he is going to invest scarce WV money to help fund the Williamstown startup when all you can say is that Walmart has a 10-year plan to buy more US goods.
And what does Keith Burdette think about you suing the school board? I'll be he is real happy about that!

To US Glass, no one is questioning whether Walmart has a plan to buy more US goods. The question is whether they have a plan to buy goods from a glass factory in Williamstown, WV. If Katie Cody had told you anything good about the status of your alleged Williamstown proposal to them, certainly you would have shared that information with us instead of citing some generality she offered about Walmart's overall 10-year program.
And by the way, what was Katie Cody's response when you told her you were threatening to sue the Wood County school board over its meeting procedures? If – I say if --Walmart really is considering a proposal to buy Williamstown glassware from you, I wonder how the Walmart communication team will factor your confrontational antics into their evaluation of you as a supplier?

OMG ,you are one sick puppy. so Im ready to be indicted and ready for a jail cell am I? And it's over this so far imaginary lawsuit, that has not been filed by US glass. I do think the jail cell reference is so funny. Also , If I were a board member , do you honestly think I'd be commenting here? I think you may need to find a padded cell , soon.

A little bird told me anyone involved in sabotaging will be sued & blacklisted. Have fun ExofDevola or should I say school board member. And by the way, school board members can be sued as individuals and judgments won can be used to cease their homes if they don't pay up. And I have a sneaking suspicion the authorities are involved. ;-) Have fun writing from a jail cell. Read the law. It's more interesting than the newspaper's fine print. And see if Georgie Fenton pays your defense legal fees when you are served and indicted. I bet ya Georgie Fenton won't claim to know you then. Or he will just use you as a negotiation chip in his plea bargain. In fact, I can't wait to watch all of you turn on each other once the legal paperwork starts flying. All of you will become cannibal rats on the Fenton "Don't Pay Your Taxes" Cruise Ship. #TitanicLawBreakers #ClownBearsAreTheNewIceburg #OnlyThingsCertainInLifeAreDeathandTaxes #ThrowClownBearUnderTheBus #HomelessClownBea

Us glass. Great so there is a plan to revitalize the economy wonderful, I am so glad Walmart will have more goods that are Made in America. I thought this new project would happen soon , but according to the spokesman, it's a ten year plan. Does that mean ir starts any day now? if so you need equipment and workers , neither are in the plant now.

Danny, you are calling me stupid. Well well , then pot meet kettle. You are all upset first because the plant is gone,but in your next breath, you claim we will have brown fields and cancer ridden children. So you can't have it both ways, if as you feel,the plant is unsafe, how did it operate all the years it did? And if George Fenton did all you say , then those are serious charges. Evidently the law does not agree with you. You maybe should watch what you say, because you are way over the line. Read the terms of service in this site. If you believe what you say , then you should be the one to quote yourself 'to put your money where your mouth is'

a quote from Walmart's response:
My name is Katie Cody with Walmart's communications team. We respectfully disagree with your assessment that this effort is just a dream. It's a reality, and it's happening now.
We recognize that our U.S. manufacturing commitment will not happen overnight, which is why we set a 10 year goal. That goal says that we will buy $50 billion more in U.S. products in the tenth year than we do today.

You are so stupid. US Glass will win their lawsuit. Then Wood County will be held legally liable and accountable for their judgment and attorney fees. We will be paying and paying for Georgie Fenton's mistakes for generations to come. And now the SOB has gone and gotten us into a lawsuit that leave the taxpayers of this county liable. I am sick of the corruption in this town to support Georgie Boy's lux lifestyle. He is the Fenton that killed the factory and brand. That factory was around for generations until he came along and couldn't operate it. Now we will have a legacy of corruption, brown fields, cancer riddled children, and lawsuits. Just brilliant. Really. We don't need a new school, but school teachers who can teach a kid when they are being royally screwed.

And Danny , why should I or helper pony up money ? And why do you either one of us are kissing up to George Fenton? I personally think he's a slime bucket, but US Glass is not much better/ if they have money to save the town's economy ,, let em fish or cut bait.they are not doing much , or they 'd have done it by now.

Danny I have no idea what is in your head but williamstown very much needs an elementary school, and get over your deal With George Fenton . He had his chance, his factory is not his any longer, he may still own the land or the school board was misinformed.

Hey Devola and Georgie Fenton's Little "Helper", Why don't you put your money where your mouth is? I don't see you ponying up any money. The only one I see making any money off of this is Georgie Fenton. Must be nice taking lux trips to Europe on worker's pensions and then ripping off the town for an overpriced brownfield. Why do we need an elementary school around here anyways? The schools are just producing idiots who give away their money to Ole Georgie Fenton. And how do you find anytime to post comments with all the bending over you are doing for Ole Georgie? Isn't your behind sore yet?

Mr Bem, how long does it take you to save the day with bringing industry back? I doubt if your Walmart project is gonna do it. Maybe I am wrong, if so wouldn't it be better for you to start being productive instead of wasting energy suing the school board ? In case you missed it , the town of Williamstown needs a new elementary school.If you plan going through with your lawsuit, do you think the community won't be endeared with you?

Pulling back from the misdirection, coming back to the question of the article-- the Williamstown property is possibly for sale. A community site selection committee has identified this property as a prime location for the new elementary school. The school board should be allowed to proceed with its careful investigation, free of threats and harassment by a non-credible out-of-towner.
Can you remember another company that came to town threatening to sue the school board? I cannot.

US Glass's citation of the loss of US manufacturing jobs over the years is true. But his assertion that the loss was due to government policy, not superior productivity, amounts to sugarcoating the bad news that several other countries had vastly lower costs of production than US manufacturers. They were more productive. Those overseas suppliers sent their lower priced goods to US retailers, including Walmart. The other piece of bad news: most US consumers preferred the lower priced stuff, no matter where it was made.
Does he offer these reasons as justification, or excuses, for not keeping his many promises to restart glassmaking in Williamstown? Or is it just more misdirection?

When was the last time that Walmart gave an order to a person who had (1) no proven ability to supply the goods, (2) no factory up and running, (3) no skilled workforce at the ready, and (4) no supplementary markets demanding the higher priced goods that must be sold to offset the rockbottom prices that Walmart will pay?
The Redman example that US Glass offered was a completely different situation; Walmart was extending an already proven sales relationship for a hot-selling riding toy in order to provide a basis for moving an up-and-running factory operation from China to Arkansas.

Gene Bem said Archer and Helper "don't have the guts". That may or may not be true; but it is off the subject. An anonymous comment can be civil and true, based on fact. Or it can be uncivil and untrue. Or it can be blustery and fanciful. The possibilities are endless.

•A large share of manufacturing jobs was lost in the last decade because the United States lost its competitive edge for manufacturing. It was due to a failure of U.S. policy, not superior productivity. •The loss was cataclysmic and unprecedented, and it continues to severely impact the overall U.S. economy. •Regaining U.S. manufacturing competitiveness to the point where America has balanced its trade in manufacturing products is critical to restoring U.S. economic vibrancy. •Regaining manufacturing competitiveness will create millions of higher-than-average-wage manufacturing jobs, as well as an even greater number of jobs from the multiplier effect on other sectors of the economy.

Now if you sense something is a little fishy about the overall situation and you are wondering just what it might be, focus your attention on Gene Bem, the head of US Glass. For two years now, according to past articles, he has been just about to bring the Fenton factory back to life. If he really had anything more than bluster to offer, he wouldn't be spending time interfering with or trying to intimidate our local school board. He'd be in town with his "order from WalMart" and would be lining up workers to produce the order.

The Fenton site is an outstanding site for the new elementary school – plenty of acreage, centrally located in Williamstown, yet far enough away from the high school to avoid traffic conflicts. Who can fault the school board for continuing to study that site or for being methodically cautious to make sure the site does not pose environmental risks? The environmental questions can be answered by the experts using tried and true scientific methods of sampling and testing. If the costs of addressing the environmental questions plus the cost of the property amounts to a fair price for the property, then the board will have been well-rewarded for its perseverance.

The Cubs' thin pitching depth is bracing for another organizational hit.
Duane Underwood Jr., whom Baseball America rates as the Cubs' 10th best prospect, underwent an MRI on Tuesday in Chicago to determine the seriousness of discomfort in his right pitching elbow. Underwood allowed six runs in one inning for Class A Myrtle Beach on Friday at Carolina.
"Like any prospect like that, we'll find out," general manager Jed Hoyer said when asked if there was concern over Underwood, 20, who is 6-3 with a 2.66 ERA in 12 starts.
Underwood was ascending in a year in which the Cubs have been beset by injuries to Dallas Beeler and Eric Jokisch at Triple-A Iowa and Pierce...

BP's Tiber Find: Fodder for Oil Optimists or Pessimists?
What's really interesting about BP's "giant" Tiber discovery in the Gulf of Mexico is how it provides ammunition for both people optimistic about the future of the oil business and those that are a lot gloomier.
To wit: For folks such as Dan Yergin, head of Cambridge Energy Research Associates, BP's new find shows how technology will overcome. To get at the ultra-deepwater oil field, BP had to drill to record depths—deeper than Mt. Everest is high. Still, with oil at $70 a barrel, there could be $70 billion trapped in the ancient rocks.
These are precisely the kinds of oil fields that were technologically off-limits until recently, when the combination of improved drilling technology and seismic imaging techniques brought them within reach.
And BP's latest find, coming a few years after another big find at the Kaskida field, just shows how the once-dismissed Gulf of Mexico could prove a source of abundant—and politically-stable—oil for decades to come.
But the Tiber discovery also underscores exactly how tough the oil-exploration game is becoming. To actually pump the oil, BP's technical challenges are just beginning; other Gulf fields have taken years to bring on line.
At the same time, there could be a huge difference between the amount of oil in the Tiber field and the amount of oil that BP and other companies can actually extract. Some comparisons with Kaskida suggest recovery rates as low as 5-15%, which in a worst-case scenario could mean a paltry 150 million barrels of oil, or a weekend's worth of global consumption.
And that decade of groundbreaking work will serve, ultimately, to tread water. Since production at other Gulf of Mexico oil fields is in steady decline (or precipitous, in the case of Cantarell), new discoveries like Tiber might serve more to brake the decline, rather than fatten the world's oil supplies.

The Vatican Museums are pluralized for a reason—within the complex there are several individual museums. It's easy for them to blur together as you wander through, but different collections are housed under different "museum" names. One such collection is the Chiaramonti Museum, sometimes called the Chiaramonti Gallery (Galleria Chiaramonti in Italian). The name comes from Pope Pius VII, who established the museum in 1807 and gave the museum his family name (prior to becoming Pope, of course).
The Chiaramonti Museum is primarily a sculpture gallery, including a large number of Roman busts and statues, stone tablets with inscriptions, stone sarcophagi, and decorative friezes. There are two sub-sections of the museum called the Braccio Nuovo (New Wing), with its Roman statues and Roman copies of Greek statues, and the Galeria Lapidaria, full of stone tablets with inscriptions. The latter is not open to the public without prior special arrangement. Much of the collection in the Chiaramonti Gallery is on display in a long corridor with arched ceilings.
The complex of Vatican Museums dates back to the time of Pope Clement XIV in the mid-18th century, so the Chiaramonti Museum is one of the older museums in Vatican City.

The Oakland A's stunned the baseball world on Wednesday, completing a three-game sweep of the two-time defending AL champions Texas Rangers and clinching the AL West title.
It was the first time since April that the Rangers weren't in at least a tie for first place.
General manager Billy Beane has been up to his old tricks this season, assembling a World Series contender with a Dollar General payroll.
Thanks to his young, talented pitching staff, Oakland won 94 games and sported the second best ERA in the AL. However, some have questioned whether the A's are legitimate World Series contenders because of a lack of star power.
Despite having a payroll below the MLB-worst Houston Astros, the A's have shown that dollars don't buy wins.
Here are three reasons this is a squad capable of winning the Fall Classic.

Microsoft is to stop making new versions of the Zune player, once the focus of its efforts to counter Apple in digital consumer electronics, as it shifts its focus to a broader software strategy to try to outflank its rival.
The failure of the Zune hardware marks an admission, after four versions of the device in five years, that Microsoft never dented the iPod's dominant market share.
But with smartphones, tablets and other devices creating new ways for consumers to access audio recordings, a software-only strategy for Zune could put Microsoft in a position to build a successful digital music business, said Mark Mulligan, an analyst at Forrester.
"Most of the music market hasn't been addressed. There absolutely is opportunity," he said. The software company's smartphone alliance with Nokia could open a new market for Zune, given Nokia's own failure to build a successful digital music brand, he added.
Launched in 2006, the Zune device and online store were designed as a direct competitor to Apple's iPod and iTunes, after an attempt by Microsoft to create an "open" digital music system involving other online music services failed to catch on.
The launch of a direct copy, followed by frequent updates designed to improve the product, reflected Microsoft's traditional "fast follower" strategy for emulating rivals.
However, the approach has not worked in consumer markets, said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at Gartner, since Microsoft made the mistake of copying existing products rather than anticipating how those devices will evolve.
"Xbox excluded, their consumer efforts have been late," he said. The failure of Zune hardware could be a warning for Microsoft's efforts in the tablet market, where it has fallen far behind Apple, he added.
Microsoft refused to comment on the fate of the Zune device, but sought to shift the focus to its software strategy, which involves linking Zune to other platforms, notably smartphones and games consoles.
"We are thrilled by the consumer excitement for Zune across many new platforms, including Windows Phone 7 and Xbox 360. Our long-term strategy focuses on the strength of the entire Zune ecosystem across Microsoft platforms," the company said.

I/ITSEC 2007 Thoughts
I am attending the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation & Education Conference (I/ITSEC) in Orlando this week. This is the first time I have attended I/ITSEC and it is quite an impressive show. I have captured some short videos and a number of pictures of the event to give those who have never been here a sense of what it is like.
Last year more than 16,000 people attended this conference. According to the latest update, it looks like that record will be broken this year. The scale is a bit overwhelming at first and I am glad I wore comfortable shoes.
Perhaps the most striking aspect of what I have seen is increasing levels of integrated simulation. The video below, shows sea, air, and ground units engaged in a single mission. Each sees a different view of the scene but their actions update what the others are seeing in real-time. On the show floor they are all located next to each other but in a real training scenario, they could all be in different physical locations. The soldier firing rounds in the "shoothouse" is in a very small version of what they would typically use. Notice that the simulated gunner in the helicopter has the least realistic "prop" but to him it is the most realistic view through his virtual reality goggles (he is on the platform behind the soldier). Finally, the guys on the patrol boat are seeing the same scene from a distance. While not captured in this video, the helicopter flew over the ship and we could see that the helicopter gunner was looking down on the boat and the helicopter flew by on the screens surrounding the patrol boat.
In a different booth, a demonstration showed how a motion tracking suit , combined with VR goggles allows a soldier to be inserted into any environment. The screen you can see at the end shows the audience what the soldier sees through the goggles.
The following simulator gave me the most visceral reaction in thinking about the dangers our troops constantly face. This particular simulator allows warfighters to practice a rapid egress from an overturned Humvee while under fire.
More updates to come.

At Mount St. Mary Academy, we take our musicals seriously. Just ask some of our seniors; they've been involved with the shows all four years, despite the fact that -- they all admit it -- balancing the rehearsals with their school assignments, work and social lives is quite the challenge.
Almost all of Mount St. Mary's seniors who participated in the musicals were there for their entire high school careers.
"Ever since grade school, I've loved to be involved with musicals," says Meghan Phelan, who played the Queen of Hearts in this year's production of "Alice in Wonderland." "I won tickets to see Mount perform 'Beauty and the Beast.' It was the best high school production I had ever seen at the time, and I had even more reason to join the musicals the next year."
Lauren McDaniel and Erika Taylor also became interested after seeing previous Mount St. Mary's musicals.
"I saw how fun they looked and I really wanted to be a part of it!," said Lauren.
Across the board, there was one main reason that these girls stayed involved all four years -- friends.
"I stayed in the musical because most of my friends were part of it," says Maria Krieger, another senior at Mount St. Mary's.
"My favorite part is the new people I meet each year!," Meghan adds. "Just the chance to meet people from every grade level that share a common interest and goal has helped me to realize that I don't have to be afraid to make new friends."
Aside from their acquaintances, many of the girls stayed on because of their experiences.
"I love getting the chance to become a completely different person," Meghan says.
Of course, the creation of a show is not solely in the hands of the cast members. Amanda Myers has spent her four Mount St. Mary's musicals alternating between chorus member and stage crew. This past fall, she served as the stage manager.
"My favorite part was that every year was a new obstacle," Amanda said. "I stayed in the musical because they came up with interesting shows."
As stage manager, she was able to assist the director, Renee Schaer, in the setup and planning of the scenery and props.
"The stage manager and crew can voice their opinions, and mostly it all gets done," Amanda says.
As for dancing and choreography, most of the girls agree that Schaer knows best.
"The students themselves don't choreograph," said Lauren. "But after learning the dances, we are able to put our own spin on the moves."
Jessica Hinaman, a senior who has participated for three of her four years, says, "I love the way Mrs. Schaer choreographs the dance pieces because she really knows who we are and what it is we do best, and she's always welcome to suggestions."
The students agree that participating in the musicals has helped to not only develop their acting and singing abilities, but their personalities as a whole.
"Because of the musical, I'm more confident in what I do and say," said Maria. "The musical has made me more outgoing and aware of my talents!"
Erika and Jessica also support this view.
"Being a part of the musical has greatly helped me grow as an individual," Erika says. "It has taught me to get along better with my peers and develop myself, and find other people with the same interests who have helped me grow."
Jessica agrees. "My experiences in the musical have definitely changed me to become a more open-minded person. If you had asked me a few years ago whether I would have participated in and loved the Mount musicals, I never would have said yes. But I loved taking part!"
Rachel Dahl is a senior at Mount St. Mary Academy.

Leafs Play Final Road Game Of The Season
Wednesday, 04.6.2011 / 1:47 PM ET / News
|RELATED: A Closer Look: Playoff Chase Ends For Leafs | Ulmer: Leafs, Reimer Almost There
|VIDEO: Henny & Joe Preview | Allaire | Reimer | MacArthur | Aulie
|DISCUSS IT ON: Leafspace | Twitter | Facebook
MAPLE LEAFS (37-32-11) at DEVILS (36-38-5)
Last 10: Toronto 7-2-1, New Jersey 3-6-1.
Season series -- This is the fourth and final meeting. Jonas Gustavsson, who is currently playing for the Toronto Marlies in the AHL, led the Maple Leafs to a pair of victories over New Jersey with 29-save efforts in a 3-1 win on Nov. 18 at the Air Canada Centre and a 4-1 victory on Dec. 26 at the Prudential Center. On Feb. 10, Ilya Kovalchuk scored 4:36 into overtime to give the Devils a 2-1 triumph in Toronto.
Big story -- The Leafs have been one of the best teams since the All-Star break, going 18-7-6 and compiling 42 points in the process, but Tuesday's shootout loss signaled the end of any playoff-bound aspirations. The Leafs have won six of their past eight, yet remain in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with 85 points. The Devils, meanwhile, were officially eliminated from playoff contention with their defeat to Montreal on Saturday. New Jersey will miss the playoffs for the first time since 1996.
Team Scope:
Maple Leafs -- The Leafs were officially knocked out of playoff contention following their 3-2 shootout loss to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. Nikolai Kulemin and Joffrey Lupul scored for the Leafs, whose postseason push ended when Buffalo beat Tampa Bay, 4-2. Toronto will miss the playoffs for a franchise-record sixth straight season.
Devils -- The Devils scored one goal in a loss to Montreal on Saturday night, the 35th time this season they scored one or none in a game. In the team's 4-2 setback to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, the Devils received goals by David Steckel and Brian Rolston but were held to two or fewer goals for the 51st time this season. Steckel's goal, by the way, was his first in 16 games since being traded to New Jersey.
Who's hot -- Devils right wing Patrik Elias has 3 goals and 6 points over the last four games, but he'll miss the playoffs for the first time in his NHL career. … Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf has 12 points and a plus-7 rating in his past 15 games.
Injury report -- New Jersey defenseman Colin White has missed the last five games and defenseman Anton Volchenkov has missed four of the last five with lower-body injuries. … Colton Orr (concussion) and Colby Armstrong (broken foot) are still out for the Leafs.
Stat pack -- Leafs goalie James Reimer made 23 saves in a 4-2 victory over the Senators on Saturday to earn his 20th win and become just the eighth Toronto rookie to win that many in one season. Toronto's 2006 fourth round pick (No. 99 overall) has gone 20-8-5 with a 2.52 goals-against average and .923 save percentage in 35 games with the Leafs.
Puck drop -- Devils left wing Zach Parise, who returned to the Devils lineup Saturday night against the Canadiens, logged 16:05 of ice time and took two shots on goal in his first game since Nov. 3. Parise was a healthy scratch against the Penguins on Tuesday, but is expected to return to the lineup against the Maple Leafs.
