The Wade Trades. Sounds like the making of a nice novel, or maybe a cool mystery, maybe even a Who Done It.
Over a 37-day period after the 2007 season, new General Manager Ed Wade re-made the Astros' roster, trading 11 players while adding six players in those deals. In Wade's defense, he had his work cut out for him. He had a closer who was falling apart, a light-hitting shortstop who would earn over $3 million in arbitration and several young players whose worth was unknown.
More than a year and a half later, the trades are still taking their tolls. I said it then, I'll say it now and I'll say it another year and a half from now. The Astros would have been much better off trading for arms, arms, and more arms.
Nonethless, while the proverbial jury is still out on some of these player exchanges, Wade actually has a chance to make good on two of the four trades. Let's take a look:
November 7 — Acquired OF Michael Bourn, 3B Michael Costanzo and RHP Geoff Geary from the Phillies in exchange for RHP Brad Lidge and SS Eric Bruntlett.
There were five players involved, but this one will forever be judged by how well Lidge and Bourn play. Since Lidge is 33 and Bourn 26, the Astros may win out simply on longevity. But the Phillies won a World Series and that one will carry lots of weight, even in the long run. This one is balancing out though and could swing into the Astros' favor eventually if Bourn continues to improve.
November 16 — Acquired RHP Oscar Villarreal from the Braves in exchange for OF Josh Anderson.
You may point to the Tejada trade as the worst, but this one certainly ranks up there. While Anderson is playing in Detroit's outfield, Villarreal is earning — ah, raking in — $1.6 million from the Astros. Seems like I heard he's playing somewhere, but there's no record of it. Of course, Anderson might be a fifth outfielder in Houston now or trying to fit in at Round Rock, so maybe the trade itself was not as big a faux pas as the signing of Villarreal to a two-year contract.
December 12 — Acquired SS Miguel Tejada from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for OF Luke Scott, RHP Matt Albers, LHP Troy Patton, RHP Dennis Sarfate and 3B Mike Costanzo.
If the Astros had won the pennant — a la Lidge and the Phillies — the trade would have been viewed differently. The Astros didn't and the trade won't.
Luke Scott has found a home, leading the Orioles in HRs, and Albers has settled in to what looks to be a nondescript, yet decent career. Still, the cornerstone of the trade — Patton — is working his way back from shoulder surgery and is now pitching at AAA Norfolk after a successful 11-start run (6-2, 2.00) at AA Bowie.
I'm a Miggy fan, but give me Luke in right, Hunter Pence in center and use Lidge for arms (instead of Bourn) and the Astros are ahead of the game right now. Not to mention Patton making his way back at Round Rock would give the Astros some rotation hope for late 2009 or 2010.
December 14 — Acquired RHP Jose Valverde from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for INF Chris Burke and RHP Juan Gutierrez and RHP Chad Qualls.
This one is clearly a Wade win — and it could actually get better. Gutierrez is throwing well and Qualls is 13 of 16 in save situations, but the Astros got the better end of the deal.
If the Astros choose to trade Valverde, hopefully this time they'll look for arms in return. Or an offer and rejection of arbitration this winter could bring two high draft picks, which could again translate into some top-of-the-line players.
Wade has made three other trades since coming to the Astros and he gets a "win" in two and an incomplete in the other:
On July 22, Wade picked up Randy Wolf from the San Diego Padres in exchange for RHP Chad Reineke. This one was a win for Houston, although they got just a few months from Wolf.
On July 30, the Astros acquired RHP LaTroy Hawkins from the New York Yankees for Matt Cusick. Who'd have thought Hawkins would have bounced back from such a horrible stretch with the Yankees.
Earlier this year (March 31), the Astros acquired Jeff Keppinger from the Reds for Drew Sutton. Keppinger has been a serviceable player and Sutton is hitting .244 at AAA Louisville. This trade is likely to be forgotten in a few years.
Wade may have another opportunity to remake the roster this summer and this winter. While the odds are against, perhaps Wade will pull a Bagwell out of his hat that will help set up the organization for another run of playoff appearances.

These statistics are the obvious result of the fact that Islam inculcates an entirely different ethical system in its adherents than that found in countries where ethics are based in Judeo-Christian values. From the Washington Post:
So long as discussion of Islam is off the table, it must be the fault of France. Perhaps if, as Daniel Pipes advocates, a synthesis between Islam the West can be found, then France could stop making what is allowed in Islam (like lying to, stealing from, or raping the kafir) illegal. That would put an end this problem of the unfair and disproportionate incarceration of Muslims. We just need to expand our tolerance of other cultures.
I see. Just like there's no correlation between Islam and terrorism, or Islam and dysfunctional societies, or Islam and the paucity of art and science, or Islam and Arab supremacism, or Islam and the prevalence of conspiracy theories, or Islam and the oppression of women, or Islam and...

Those figures are simply mind boggling.
Inside prison, the hatred and indoctrination just grows. They come out and poison society further.
There is in the soft attitude of generalised contempt for British society, and the self generated 'alienation', a criminality that arises naturally.
I would like to see a breakdown of what offences the Muslims are in prison for in the UK. I have a feeling it will break down fairly evenly into fraud, drugs, and sexual crimes.

China Car Sales Beat Analysts' Estimates for Fourth Month
China's passenger-vehicle sales rose in June, exceeding analysts' estimates for a fourth consecutive month after automakers increased shipments ahead of scheduled shutdowns for the summer.
Wholesale deliveries, including multipurpose and sport utility vehicles, gained 16 percent to 1.28 million units last month, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said in a statement today. That compares with the 1.27 million average estimate of 14 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. led sales gains in China as Japanese carmakers rebounded from last year's earthquake disruptions. Auto manufacturers may have delivered more vehicles to dealerships to meet sales targets for the half-year period, according to UBS AG. Last month's growth may also reflect increased shipments before traditional factory closures in July and August for maintenance, CSC International Holdings said.
"Carmakers typically shut factories for a period in summer for routine maintenance and are boosting dealership stockpiles before it," said Han Weiqi, a Shanghai-based analyst at CSC International Holdings Ltd. "This comes at the cost of bigger inventory pressure at dealerships."
In the first six months, passenger-vehicle deliveries gained 7.1 percent to 7.61 million units, the association said.
Total vehicle sales, including trucks and buses, increased 9.9 percent to 1.58 million units in June. Sport-utility vehicle deliveries gained 52 percent, the best-performing segment.
Guangzhou Curbs
Growth may slow in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province that borders Hong Kong, after the southern Chinese city of imposed a quota on new vehicle registrations this month to control vehicle emissions and ease traffic congestion.
Guangzhou -- which followed Beijing, Shanghai and Guiyang in implementing curbs on vehicles -- may not be last. Morgan Stanley said in a July 2 report that 11 other cities, accounting for 15 percent of total industry sales in 2010, are candidates to also implement limits on cars.
The slowing economy may also be undermining the outlook. Chinese second-quarter economic growth, due to be released July 13, may have slid to 7.7 percent from a year earlier, according to the median of 33 analyst estimates in a Bloomberg News survey as of July 6. The economy expanded 8.1 percent in the first three months, the fifth quarterly slowdown.
In the first five months, passenger-car sales increased 5.5 percent to 6.33 million units after growth of 6.1 percent a year earlier. Figures for April, May and June last year were hurt by disruption from the Japan earthquake.
GM Gains
General Motors Co., China's largest foreign automaker, boosted vehicle sales 10 percent to 213,495 units, led by demand for its Buick sedans and Wuling minivans, the company said in a statement July 5. Demand from consumers in China's interior provinces will help sales growth remain steady in the second half of the year, Kevin Wale, GM's China head said.
Ford Motor Co. raised total vehicle sales in China by 18 percent to 52,440 units. First-half deliveries gained 1 percent. BYD, the Chinese carmaker partly owned by Berkshire Hathaway Inc., sold 12 percent fewer cars in the first five months, according to industry analyst LMC Automotive.
Honda increased deliveries 84 percent to 64,652 units, with sales and production a year earlier disrupted by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Toyota sold 70,500 units in June, 19 percent more than a year earlier.
Nissan Motor Co.'s China demand gained 10 percent to 119,200.
Among luxury carmakers, Volkswagen's Audi boosted sales 20 percent last month to 33,309 units. Bayerische Motoren Werke AG increased deliveries 13 percent to 23,930 on the mainland, which excludes Hong Kong. Daimler's Mercedes-Benz sales in June climbed 2 percent to 17,250 units.

Idaho Falls man practices for dog sled race in fresh snow
The Sunday snow day means fresh powder across eastern Idaho.
It was a perfect day -- of course -- for snow sports.
One Idaho Falls man and his four-legged friends took advantage of one doggone good sledding day.
"Seeing them want to pull you and be part of you, it's great," said musher Buck Rogers.
Mushing is a term for dog sledding, and even through the driving snow there's almost nowhere else Rogers would rather be than driving his team of Siberian Huskies through fresh snow.
"It's really beautiful and wonderful," said Rogers. "You're out there with nature."
Rogers is 51 this year.. It's only his 4th year mushing.
"Very much a beginner," said Rogers.
Rogers and his wife Gail Birdsong have been rescuing Huskies for years. It wasn't too long ago they started keeping some of their rescues. Their sled team is half made up of rescue dogs.
"We'll actually get to a point where we can run them and let them work," said Rogers. "The way they're suppose to run, it's a Husky."
For Rogers, the later on in life love for those dogs quickly became something more, and the frosty Sunday morning was a perfect time to practice for a big first.
"I'm finally going to go down to Logan, Utah," said Rogers.
On March 1st and 2nd, Rogers will race his team in the beginner class in his first ever race.
Snow-packed Sundays in Idaho Falls are a God-send.
"We could use some more miles on the dogs," said Rogers.
Because of practice makes perfect.
So, Rogers and lead-dog Belle take the pack on lap after lap wherever they can. On Sunday morning it's an Idaho Falls park, all to prepare for that big day.
Rogers and his team will practice with another team in Ashton on Presidents' Day weekend.
From there, it's straight on to that competition in Logan, Utah.
Rogers, Belle and the rest of the team will have to race 6 miles on the first day of the competition and another 6 the second day.

Volatile Substances / Solvents / Gases / Aerosols / Glues
What are volatile substances?
The use of volatile substances as drugs involves breathing in gases or vapours from household and industrial products such as aerosols and lighter refills. These substances are volatile, meaning that they evaporate and can be inhaled without burning or heating them up.
Volatile substances can cause 'sudden sniffing death' syndrome, where the heartbeat loses rhythm and stops (cardiac arrest).
This article does not consider 'poppers' (nitrite volatile substances) and nitrous oxide (laughing gas). They have their own information pages because they have different harm profiles. In particular, the users of poppers and nitrous oxide can make practical choices to reduce risks, whereas users of volatile substances face a risk of sudden death, which the user has little control over.
What are the different forms of volatile substances?
A huge range of household and industrial products contain volatile substances that can produce mind-altering effects. Most of these products are legal for legitimate use. A few examples include glues, air fresheners, hair sprays, keyboard cleaners, gas lighter fuel (butane), nail polish remover and paint stripper. Volatile substances are not grouped together because they have the same psychoactive chemicals in them; but they have in common some similar effects, and share some risks. Some products may contain more than one chemical that can change a person's mental state, alongside many chemicals that produce no intoxicating effects but could be harmful.
Collectively, using these products as a drug is extremely high risk, but some types have their own particular risks. Pressurised aerosols produce vapour at very low temperatures and can cause frostbite (potentially in the mouth or throat). Many household products containing volatile substances also contain many other chemicals, many of which could themselves cause harm. Most of the products people inhale are highly flammable and carry the risk of accidental burning and explosions.
Users may 'huff' volatile substances: putting/spraying the substance onto a cloth or into a bag and then inhaling the fumes. Some users may spray a volatile substance directly into the mouth or nose, which carries a higher risk of freezing/burning/irritating the mouth, lungs and throat. Putting any bag or soaked cloth over the head or face, or in a position where it can fall over the mouth and nose adds a risk of passing out and suffocating.
How do volatile substances work as drugs in the body and brain?
The specific effects of volatile substances on the body are varied, unpredictable and not well understood. There is a wide variety of volatile substances. It is known however, that many volatile substances produce depressant effects similar to alcohol. This means they lower activity in areas of the brain.
What are the effects of volatile substance?
The effects of volatile substances vary between the substances and how much is taken among other factors. Generally speaking, a volatile substance may produce depressant effects similar to being drunk (a buzz, slurred speech, disorientation, disinhibition) although users may feel more dizziness. A stronger chemical or large amount of volatile substance may produce changes in perception and emotional disturbances.
Volatile substances are rapidly absorbed through the lungs producing immediate and short lasting effects. Because the route of entry into the blood is so quick, they can produce a quick surge of effects. The after effects of volatile substances often include headache, drowsiness, and at large doses users may pass out. Users usually come round when removed from the source of the volatile compound. Sudden death can occur from using volatile substances as a drug.
It is also possible to damage the throat and lungs after volatile substance use, resulting in excess mucus production and irritation (a nasty cough). Volatile substance users have also reported nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Do volatile substances have any medical uses?
These substances have no known medical value.
What are the risks of using volatile substances? Can they be avoided or reduced?
Whilst some risks from volatile substances can be reduced, the centrally important risk of sudden death is always significant and cannot be controlled. 'Sudden sniffing death' syndrome is where the user has a fatal cardiac arrest (heart stops). This is thought to happen because the body becomes oversensitive to adrenaline, causing the heart to contract chaotically (arrhythmia) leading to a cardiac arrest. This can happen immediately or in the few hours after use, and seems just as likely to happen to a first time volatile substance user or a regular user.
People have also died from oxygen starvation when doing something like putting a bag full of volatile substance over their head. This makes it easy to lose consciousness and die or suffer brain damage from lack of oxygen without warning.
Additionally, a large enough amount of volatile substance may slow down and eventually stop a person breathing (respiratory depression). People have also passed out and choked on their own vomit whilst taking a volatile substance. This risk is greater if someone is taking a volatile substance on their own or in a group of people who are also incapacitated.
Are there health conditions that make volatile substances more dangerous?
Although the effects of volatile substances are not well understood, their potential effect on the heart means that it would be risky to use them if you had any sort of heart condition. Also, long term use of certain volatile substance use can cause things like brain damage, lung damage, limb spasms, liver damage and bone marrow damage. Some volatile substances might therefore worsen many different conditions.
Mixing volatile substances with other drugs
As there are so many different volatile substances, most of which contain many different chemicals, it is hard to predict possible unwanted effects of combining them with other drugs. It can be said that combining volatile substances with other depressants such as alcohol increases the risk of accidents, respiratory depression and choking on your own vomit.
How addictive are volatile substances?
There are reports that people have developed tolerance to some of the effects of volatile substances, as well as experiencing signs of dependence and withdrawal.
What are the long-term effects of volatile substances on health and wellbeing?
There are many possible side effects of long term volatile substance use. This is partly due to the diversity of products which can be used. As well as the range of drug chemicals, the products may contain hundreds of other chemicals, many of which can be harmful.
Chronic use of certain volatile substances has caused damage to the brain and nervous symptoms. Some results of this include: muscle weakness and tremor, dementia, mood changes, hearing loss, loss of coordination, and deficits in memory, attention, problem-solving, visual learning and motor function. Some volatile substances, for example butane, are not associated with such harms when used long term.
Volatile substances harm reduction advice
Most of the deaths caused by volatile substance abuse are from 'sudden sniffing death' syndrome (irregular heartbeat leading to a cardiac arrest). There is no known way to protect against this, it is very unpredictable and it could probably happen to anyone. Although harm reduction advice is given, please consider that volatile substance use can unpredictably cause death (even from the first use). With such short lasting and often unpleasant effects, is it ever worth the risk?
Are you using a volatile substance alone?
Because it is possible to hurt yourself whilst on a volatile substance, pass out and choke on your own vomit, or even have a cardiac arrest ('sudden sniffing death' syndrome) it is always less risky to do so with someone who would be able to help you out or call an ambulance. Having someone with you won't much increase your chances if you get a volatile substance-induced cardiac arrhythmia. 'Cardiac defibrillation' needs to be administered by paramedics within about 10 minutes, and won't always work.
How are you inhaling the volatile substance?
People have starved themselves of oxygen when doing something like putting a bag over their head and filling it with volatile substance. Additionally, it is very easy to damage lungs and breathing passages if trying to spray or squirt volatile substances into the mouth or nose.
What are you inhaling?
There are many different industrial and household products that could create some mind-altering effects. However, such products are not meant for human consumption and could cause you serious harm or even kill you. It is also quite likely that many such products will seriously irritate your lungs, throat and mouth if inhaled. You should never try to inhale anything if you are not sure what it will do.
Are you considering the risk of fire?
People have badly burnt themselves or been injured in explosions when a flammable substance they were trying to inhale ignited. Never put a flammable substance near a naked flame, cigarette, or anything that makes sparks.

If Cal athletics is searching for money to stem the departures from football coach Jeff Tedford's staff, the funds won't come from the chancellor's office.
On Tuesday, after Eric Kiesau became the second Bears assistant in two days lured away by free-spending Washington, Cal Chancellor Robert Birgeneau told this newspaper that issues related to salaries of coaching aides do not reach his office.
Birgeneau said he wasn't alerted to the exit of defensive line coach and star recruiter Tosh Lupoi on Monday, nor does he expect to be.
"These decisions are made down at the level of Jeff Tedford," Birgeneau said. "Most of the time, I read about them in the newspaper. That's how I found out about (Lupoi).
"This is a strategic decision by the coach and athletic director on how they want to allocate their resources."
Tedford, in a statement, said "we exhausted all of our resources" in attempts to keep Lupoi and Kiesau on staff, adding they couldn't match outside offers and did not want to disrupt the salary structure of the football staff.
Athletic director Sandy Barbour, in a separate statement, suggested that supporters of the program tried stepping up to help. "We did all we were able to do to have (Lupoi and Kiesau) remain at Cal and appreciate our community's willingness to assist in that effort."
That same community stepped up last school year to help get five sports reinstated after the university announced they would be cut for fiscal reasons.
Lupoi, 30, will receive about $500,000 per season to serve as defensive run game coordinator and defensive line coach at Washington, according to the Seattle Times. Other sources say he also will receive a boat from UW.
Kiesau, 39, had two stints totaling six years on Cal's staff, returning this past fall to serve as passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. He will become offensive coordinator at UW, replacing Doug Nussmeier, who took the same position at Alabama.
Both coaches left for substantially more money than the $164,000 each earned at Cal in 2011, according to figures provided in a USA Today report.
Cal has spent $321 million to retrofit and modernize Memorial Stadium and $151 million more to construct the new Simpson Student-Athlete High Performance Center that will serve football and 12 Olympic sports. All those funds were privately raised.
But Cal's total 2011 compensation for its assistant coaches of $1,570,000 ranked just seventh out of 10 Pac-12 teams in the USA Today database. (Stanford and USC, as private schools, are not required to report salary figures.) Only Arizona, Washington State and Arizona State were lower.
The staff changes seem likely to diminish a recruiting class the Bears hoped would rank among the top 10 nationally when letters of intent are signed Feb. 1. Five-star defensive tackle Ellis McCarthy of Monrovia decommitted Monday night, indicating he will sign with UCLA.
Two orally committed wide receiver prospects who were recruited to Cal by Kiesau -- Jordan Payton of Westlake Village in Southern California and Cedric Dozier of Lakewood, Wash. -- both said they have reopened the process.
And there was no word from Elk Grove two-way line star Arik Armstead, rated as the nation's No. 2 overall prospect by Scout.com. Armstead, who graduated from Pleasant Grove High in December, was expected to announce his decision by Monday and possibly enroll in classes at Cal on Tuesday, but all that changed when Lupoi left.

BREVARD, NC -- The 20th-ranked Railsplitters staved off a second-half surge by Brevard College and escaped with a 73-71 win over the Tornados in South Atlantic Conference men's basketball action on Wednesday evening in Brevard, North Carolina. With the win, Lincoln Memorial University (17-4, 10-3 SAC) rebounded from their loss to Newberry on Saturday and swept the season-series against Brevard, while the Tornados fell to 2-11 in league play and 3-18 overall.
The Railsplitters led by as many as 13 points in the game but were outscored 41-32 in the second half, as they were able to narrowly hold out for a 73-71 win on the road. Much like Saturday's contest against Newberry, the Railsplitters were met by a hot-shooting foe, as the Tornados drained 14 of their 28 three-point attempts to keep the game within reach throughout the closing stretch of regulation.
Lincoln Memorial finished the game with a 26-for-53 mark from the field, good for a 49.1% clip. The Railsplitters saw four players cross the double-digit scoring plateau, headlined by Vincent Bailey's game-high 21 points. Bailey went an unblemished six-for-six from the field and netted nine of his 11 free-throw attempts to accumulate his game-high mark. Wally Jones was also stellar in tonight's contest, compiling 15 points on six-of-nine shooting, highlighted by a three-for-four effort from deep. Jones reigned in five rebounds as well. Jake Troyli struggled from the field, tallying 12 points on five-of-15 shooting, however, he spearheaded a 35-23 advantage on the glass for Lincoln Memorial with a game-high 16 boards to notch a double-double performance. Cam Carden aided that effort on the boards with eight rebounds despite only chiming in with three points. Lorenza Ross poured in 10 points in 36 minutes of action.
The Railsplitters won the turnover battle, edging the Tornados 13-16 in that statistical category. The difference came in the paint, as the combination of Bailey and Troyli paced the Railsplitters to an eye-popping 42-12 disparity on points inside the square. Lincoln Memorial assisted on 10 of their 26 buckets with Carden leading the way in that area with four assists.
Despite a stellar mark from deep, the Tornados only netted 10 of their 28 efforts from inside the three-point arc to finish with a 42.9% clip for the game. Miles Leathers and Dominique Pickett were the story of the contest for Brevard, as those two combined for 37 of Brevard's 71 points. Leathers nearly matched Bailey's game-high figure with 20 points, with 15 coming in the second half, on a five-for-nine effort from long range, while Pickett tallied a three-for-seven mark from the three en route to a 17-point performance. Leathers also led the Tornados with seven rebounds in 37 minutes on the floor. Manzey Miller chimed in with 12 points and headlined a 19-assist effort for Brevard with a game-high eight assists. Alex Moe chipped in 11 points, with more than half of those points coming on a two-for-three mark from three.
The Railsplitters also saw dividends from the free throw line, as they finished 17-for-24 from the charity stripe while the Tornados were held to nearly half of that mark with a nine-for-15 effort on the freebies.
After two minutes and forty-eight seconds of action, the Railsplitters and Tornados met in a 6-6 stalemate following a three-point bucket by Dominique Pickett. The Tornados briefly gained the lead as Gerel Simmons drained another three at the 15:32 mark to put Brevard on top, 9-6. From that juncture, the Railsplitters implemented an 8-0 run, capped with a layup by Dustin Craig, to assume a 14-9 advantage with 12:24 left in the first stanza.
Manzey Miller answered that layup with a bucket in the next Tornado possession, however, the Railsplitters poured in three-straight jumpers to shoot out on top 20-11 as the half neared the midway point. Dominique Pickett cut into the deficit by halting that scoring rally with a three-pointer, yet, the Railsplitters notched a layup by Wally Jones and a flush from Dustin Craig to extend their lead to 10 at the 8:46 mark of the period.
The two teams traded punches over the next several minutes until the Railsplitters moved back out to a 31-21 advantage on Lorenza Ross' jumper with 5:21 left in the half. The Tornados poured in three-pointers by Alex Moe and Miles Leathers in back-to-back possessions to cut into LMU's lead, however, the Railsplitters closed on a 10-3 run to go into the break leading 41-30, their largest lead of the half.
Vincent Bailey notched the first score of the second half to send LMU out to a 43-30 advantage, however, the Tornados chipped away at that lead, cutting it to 45-38 on yet another Miles Leathers' three at the 16-minute mark. LMU's Troyli and Brevard's Miller traded jumpers in consecutive possessions before Lincoln Memorial score four-straight points to drive their lead back out to double-digits at 51-40 with 13:28 left to play.
Once again, the Tornados answered from long range with back-to-back threes from Miles Leathers to bring the score back to 51-46 at the 12:35 mark, however, LMU notched four-straight free throws from Vincent Bailey to counter that attack.
The Railsplitters continued to cling to as much as a nine-point advantage over the ensuing minutes until the Tornados begin to drive back into the game over the final minutes. Bailey put LMU on top 63-55 with a jumper at the 5:30 mark and Brevard answered with a 6-0 run over the next 1:57 to make it 63-61 with only 3:33 left in regulation. The Railsplitters never relinquished the lead but the Tornados drove within one on a three-pointer by Gerel Simmons with 1:18 left on the clock. Cam Carden pushed the lead back to four with his only three-point bucket of the game in the next possession and Chance Jones countered Leathers' one free throw with a pair to give LMU a 73-68 advantage with only 30 ticks left on the clock.
With 22 seconds left, Dominique Pickett was sent to the line and nailed one of his two attempts, which was followed by a Leather's offensive rebound and a jumper to propel the Tornados to within two with only 19 seconds left. The Railsplitters successfully in bounded the ball and Chance Jones was quickly fouled. At the free throw line, Jones uncharacteristically missed both attempts and the Tornados corralled the rebound to garner a last-second attempt to tie or win the game. However, Manzey Miller's three-point effort as time expired clanged off the back iron and let the Railsplitters escape with a 73-71 victory in Brevard, North Carolina.
The Railsplitters will now direct their attention towards the Anderson University Trojans, who are currently tied atop the South Atlantic Conference standings. Lincoln Memorial aims to avenge a heartbreaking 67-66 loss to the Trojans from back on January 12th. That game is slated to tip at 4 p.m. on February 16th in Anderson, South Carolina.

A department store which offers its items at a lower price than many other retail stores. Discount stores are often able to drop their prices due to efficient distribution methods. Many of the largest discount stores are also chain stores, and include Wal-Mart, Target, and K-Mart. Furthermore, many of these discount stores could also be categorized as big-box stores, as they grow to include more and more products, sometimes even including a large grocery section.
Use discount store in a sentence
If you want to find good value on cheap products, try shopping at a discount store because they carry consumer goods at the lowest prices.
When looking for new furniture I always check out the discount store first, hoping to save a little money in the process.
Though discount stores have historically had a competitive advantage based upon pricing to traditional department stores that advantage has been diminished as online retailers are able to offer even greater economies due to lesser operating costs.

The Sleepy Eye baseball team continues their quest for the first win of the season as they dropped two games last week in a double header against Minnesota valley Lutheran in New Ulm last Thursday afternoon.Once again it was errors that cost the young Indians team a chance to compete, allowing the Chargers to capitalize on mistakes and shut the Indians out in both games (4-0 and 7-0).John Mangen was on the hill in game one which turned out to be a pitcher's duel that was determined by the errors. Mangen went the distance, pitching the full seven innings striking out seven, walking one, allowing four runs on four hits."John (Mangen) pitched a great game, but the defensive mistakes tipped the game in favor of the Chargers," Head coach Aaron Nesvold commented about the first game of the double header.Sam Hirschboek and Dylan Klein split the pitching duties in the second game.Hirschboek started the game on the mound and went 4 2/3 innings. He gave up all seven Charger runs on 10 hits with no strikeouts and a walk.Klein came in and pitchd the final 2 1/3 innings and gave up three hits and struck out three.The two losses move the Indians to 0-12 overall and 0-10 in the Tomahawk Conference.

So here I am in the Cincinnati branch of the Internal Revenue Service. I'm in my cubicle and along comes a request for "tax-exempt" status from a group called the "Tea Party" somethings. I think to myself: Hmm, tax exempt status because they say they are "advancing social welfare."
Are they a lot like the Parent Teacher Association, the Young Men's Christian Association, and the Boys Club of America, whose tax-exempt status we recently granted? I wonder what "social welfare" this "Tea Party" group "advances," exactly.
Maybe it advances assault weapons while simultaneously discouraging background checks, or maybe it demands the government mandate the right to life while demanding the government stay out of their right to arms, or maybe it's the promotion of funding right-wing radical politicians without having to disclose donor names? Is that why they think they might be "advancing social welfare"?
There was indeed a mistake by the IRS to bias their screening to the name "Tea Party." They should have equally targets "liberal" and other potentially suspicious words. But let's not pretend these organizations should not have been screened.
Most of them were unlikely to be "advancing social welfare" and they should pay their fair share of taxes just like any other political organization -- and just like you and me.

MILL CREEK — Police are asking for the public's help to identify a serial robber who has struck seven times in Mill Creek since May.
The latest robbery happened Thursday at a Subway in the 3400 block of 132nd Street SE.
A masked man entered the store about 9:30 p.m., flashed a handgun and demanded money.
The employee, 19-year-old woman, opened the cash register and the man grabbed $142. He fled the scene. The teen was not injured in the robbery.
Officers searched the area using a Lynnwood police dog but were unable to find the man.
The suspect is described as a white man with a thin build. He is between 5 feet 6 inches to 6 feet tall.
Police believe last night's robber may be responsible for six other heists in the city since this spring.
Anyone with information is asked to call the police department at 425-745-6175.

You must have read at the end of various emails "Please think before you print this email". But many of go ahead and just print them. Every paper you print costs a tree somewhere in the world.
To protect the trees and environment, World Wildlife Fund has come up with a new document type – WWF. This document format is similar to PDF but it doesn't give you the option to print the document. You can use this document as you use your PDF file, with the limitation that you won't be able to print it.
Currently the software for creating the WWF documents is available for Mac only, but will be soon rolled out for Windows as well.
I would appreciate if you also start using WWF documents.

The hard techno devotee has recently transformed his sound into something much deeper. That's no accident, writes James Manning.
RA presents its guide to the best events around the world.
Mitchbal and his son Vince Lawrence teamed up to create what is arguably house music's first label. This is their story.
Each year, the label goes off into the French countryside for a few days of relaxation and sonic exploration. In 2012, RA's Todd L. Burns joined them.

Central Communications Board Competition
The Central Communications Board's annual Magazine, Website and Social Media Competition is now open and entries are invited from Church of Ireland parishes, dioceses and associated organisations as well as individuals whose social media activity clearly relates to Church activity/outreach/witness. Quality of presentation, strength of content and outreach potential are once again to be the standards of excellence against which entries will be judged. The closing date is Friday 11 April 2014. Winners will be announced at the General Synod in Christ Church cathedral, Dublin, 8–10 May 2014.
Parish and diocesan magazines are important for the exchange of news and views across Church communities and printed media continues to play a vital role within the life of the Church of Ireland. In addition, websites are now firmly established as vehicles which allow the wider community to know about and participate in the life of the Church of Ireland, whether in parishes, dioceses or organisations, as well as helping 'internal communications' by providing the hub for information and enabling increasing interaction. Beyond this, social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, E–zines, Flickr, along with Vimeo and YouTube video content and blogs have created two–way platforms for communications, providing a potentially vast audience and offering innovative ways to assist in the Church's ministry. Within the Church of Ireland there are good examples of how all these various forms of communication are being used to build Christian community and communicate the Christian faith. This competition is an opportunity to learn what others are doing, to showcase good work and to join in.
Further information may be had from the Church of Ireland Press Office, Church of Ireland House, 61–67 Donegall Street, Belfast BT1 2QH (048 9082 8880) and firstname.lastname@example.com
Earth hour takes place today (Saturday) at 8.30pm. This is an initiative of the World Wildlife Fund which works to balance the demands that humans have on the world and the variety of other life. St Patrick's cathedral, Dublin, will be responding to the WWF initiative by switching off the cathedral's lights for one hour.
Tomorrow (Sunday) at Evensong in St Fin Barre's cathedral the Ven. Adrian Wilkinson will be installed as Archdeacon of Cork, Cloyne & Ross. In Dublin the annual ecumenical service to celebrate the gift of sport will be held at 7pm in St Ann's church, Dawson Street, where the address will be given by Senator Eamon Coughlan, while in St Patrick's cathedral at 8pm the Gaudete Singers, directed by David Leigh, will sing Gesualdo's Tenebrae Responsories for Holy Saturday.
From Monday to Wednesday the Anglican Jewish Commission, of which the Archbishop of Dublin is Co–Chairman, will meet in Dublin. The Commission meets yearly in Israel and alternatively in England or Ireland. This will be the first occasion since the inception of the Commission that it has met in Ireland. The theme of this year's Commission is 'Memory, Community and Identity'. Among the Jewish delegation will be Rabbi David Rosen, a former Chief Rabbi of Ireland.
There has been a service of divine healing almost every Tuesday evening for the past 25 years in St Finnian's Church, Cregagh. This will be celebrated on Tuesday at 8pm when the speaker will be one of the founder members of the service, Canon David Brown, Rector of Knocknagoney.
On Friday evening the Archbishop of Armagh will institute the Revd Malcolm Kingston to the incumbency of St Mark's, Armagh. Ordained in 2004, Mr Kingston has been Rector of Kilmore in the diocese of Armagh since 2007.

We are trained to fear, resist, and fixate upon external enemies and to see ourselves as our most faithful and loyal friend. This is an inversion—most people never experience an external enemy that even begins to match the power of the opponent within. Although you may not know it, one of the greatest blessings that you can experience is a single moment of your life in which you are not your own worst enemy.

There is a lake in Rice County, it's name is the antonym of separation. On the East side of this lake there is a park. In this park there is a letterbox. The name of the park isn't important. You'll know you're in the right park when you find the stairs, colored brown, leading down to the lake. I would go down them if I was you, that is of course, if you want to find the letterbox. At the bottom of the stairs follow the trail to the right. It's faint in some places but I believe you'll be able to figure this one out. If not, you might as well go back to your car and give up letterboxing. Stop when you get to twins on the left side of the path with a tree one foot in front of them leaning over the trail to the right. From this lazy tree take 33 steps to the end of a 4.5' log on the left of the path. Now find 160 degrees and take 63 steps. Go 10 steps at 230 degrees to ??? Remember what I said about the car? Good. North side, use a stick first to check, I don't want anyone missing a finger or with rabies. Leaning up on the inside on the right. PLEASE replace just as you found, er, felt it.

text: A while back, there was chatter of Amy posting crochet videos.. is this still going to happen? I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE her knitting videos and they have been a lifesaver more times than I care to count! I've just made my first ever crochet project: a crocheted washcloth (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MbjwYYMJPhA/SWqHTjGrXhI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/uFOUhoRFpbE/s1600-h/knitting+005.JPG) (sc) and am hungry for me. I've used Art of Crochet, NexStitch, and various other crochet videos online - but I just love this site so much and the way Amy teaches is so clear. Just wondering aloud.. :flirt:

For three decades, we've helped save lives after natural and manmade disasters—delivering aid quickly and under duress.
Now, we are bringing resources to some of the most difficult health problems the world is facing today. Along with medicine and supplies, we are developing and providing proven systems of care that can be used effectively in remote clinics, mobile medical units and large hospitals—anywhere there is a need.
Chronic Disease
Diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases are becoming leading causes of death in most countries. Learn how we target resources to meet this challenge.
Disaster Risk Reduction
In disaster-prone regions of the world we are pre-positioning relief aid with local partners for life-saving response within the first 72 hours. See how we prepare for the worst.
Safe Hospitals
Healthy hospital workers means better care and healthier patients. Our health worker safety initiative has already had an impact.
Communicable Disease
Poor countries face deadly outbreaks of preventable and treatable diseases such as cholera, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS and TB. Our programs save lives every day.
Mother and Child Health
Pregnancy, childbirth and infancy are vulnerable times for mothers and children. Learn how we are protecting them.
Malnutrition can have deadly consequences for children, adults and entire communities. Our nutrition programs are changing that.
Health Care Access
Simple access to health care is a formidable challenge for millions of people. See how we get health care to the people who need it.
Health Infrastructure
The critical need for hospitals and clinics in poor countries is especially acute after a disaster. That's why our collaborative work serves as a model for restoring, building and expanding health facilities.
Mental Health Services
In major disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. and the Tsunami in Japan, the trauma lingers long after the event has faded from public view. Our groundbreaking programs address that need.
