With the 28th pick in the first round the Los Angeles Dodgers selected DeWitt, the Sikeston High School All-American who helped lead the Bulldogs to three final fours in his four years.
DeWitt, 18, was taken after the Dodgers selected fellow Missourian Scott Elbert, a left-handed pitcher from Seneca High School.
The Dodgers had the 28th pick from the New York Yankees, who surrendered it as compensation for signing Dodgers free agent reliever Paul Quantrill.
DeWitt, who was watching the draft in Albuquerque (N.M.) -- the site of the Baseball All-American Game -- said it was a dream come true.
"I was shaking -- I had Coach (Kevin) Self and my family sitting there," said DeWitt. "It was just a lot of fun. It was unbelievable. We had heard rumors of where I was going but you never know until that day," said DeWitt. "That's a team that I've been in contact with and that I'm very happy with. It couldn't happen with a better team. I just love the Dodgers and I'm glad it was them. It's a dream come true."
Even better for DeWitt is that he and Elbert are good friends that have played together during the summer.
"I actually will get to play with two friends in addition to Scott," said DeWitt. "I had a friend last year, Lucas May, that signed with the Dodgers. From day one I can remember talking with my dad and saying, 'hey it would be kind of neat if Scott and I were drafted and got to play on the same team.' We were like, 'there's almost no chance of that happening.' Somehow, it worked out today."
DeWitt, alongside friends and family in Albuquerque, were watching the draft on a big screen TV with many other top prospects. He said he actually found out that he was going to be taken in the first round prior to the news coming across the wire.
"We were watching the draft and we saw (Elbert) get picked by the Dodgers at 17," said DeWitt. "A few picks later (Elbert) had called and he said he thought the Dodgers had taken me at 28. Not a minute later, the Dodgers beeped in on my phone while I was talking to him and said they had picked me 28th overall. It was exciting."
The 6-foot, 175-pound DeWitt batted .548 with 14 home runs, 50 RBIs and 11 stolen bases this season for Sikeston. He also had 12 doubles, two triples and scored 51 runs.
On the mound he went 7-1 with a 1.47 ERA. He was 27-1 in his high school career, losing his only game in the Class 3 state semifinals last week to eventual champion Ozark.
"Blake's got all the tools -- he can run, he's got good hands, he's got a good arm, and a great bat obviously," said Self. "He's got the grades, he's top 10 percent in his class. He's got it all. All those things combined put a higher market value on him. When Baseball America puts you as the No. 1 pure hitter in high school in America, well that's a pretty big honor and teams are going to take notice of that. That probably also propelled him in the draft."
DeWitt was rated as the 65th best amateur player --
college and high school -- in the country by Baseball America magazine and he was the second best prospect in Missouri, behind Elbert at No. 12.
"With DeWitt, we got our bat," said Dodgers amateur scouting director Logan White. "Everybody's wanted us to get a bat, we've been trying, and this kid has a sweet stroke. Our staff felt he was too good a hitter to pass up. His swing is a lot like Loney's, he can drive to all fields and he's developing pull power. He's been a shortstop but he could wind up at third base. We've talked to the family and we are very hopeful to get something done."
As a result of being drafted, the Dodgers asked DeWitt not to play in the All-American Game, a standard request of players picked high in the draft.
But DeWitt wasn't too beaten up about it.
"I'm not really disappointed --sure I wanted to play, but this day couldn't be any better," said DeWitt. "There are some unbelievable players here and just to be able to watch them is not going to be too bad of a deal."
DeWitt also said that he won't be attending Georgia Tech, a school that he signed with last fall.
"They're a great school and if I had to do it over I wouldn't pick another school besides them," said DeWitt. "They are the best. It's unreal how much of a class act those guys are down there. But another opportunity arose and I don't think I'm going to be able to pass it up."
DeWitt projects as either a third baseman or a second baseman, instead of his normal shortstop position in high school. He did play two years of third base his freshman and sophomore year.
"I think they're going to leave me at short for as many years as I can play it just to keep my footwork up and then move," said DeWitt. "But I hope I can stay at short for as long as I can, although wherever their plans are for me I'll be happy."
So what's next for DeWitt?
He said that he will sign a contract soon and will report to the Dodgers' spring training home in Vero Beach (Fla.). "I'm not trying to ask for a lot of money or anything," said DeWitt. "I'm just going to get a fair deal and be happy to be a Dodger.
"This is something I've been working for my whole life. It seems like it's paid off, but I'm not too satisfied right now because next week I'm going to have to get out and start playing again. My dream is to get to the big leagues and not just get drafted. This is just getting me one step closer."
DeWitt said teams that expressed the most interest in addition to the Dodgers were the Kansas City Royals, Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins.
"I really didn't care who it was but I'm glad it was the Dodgers," said DeWitt. "I got to know Mitch Webster, the area scout for them. He's a former big leaguer himself and maybe he can teach me some more stuff when I get to Vero Beach."
The Dodgers told DeWitt that if Elbert wasn't available at No. 17 then DeWitt was their man.
"It probably worked out even better because both of them know each other really well and they get along real well," said Self. "It's a tremendous thing. Not just in his life, but for the whole City of Sikeston.
"This has never happened. (Longtime Dodger manager) Tommy Lasorda even called Blake tonight and welcomed him to the Dodger family. He's going to get to meet a lot of influential people in baseball because of where he went in the draft. All the things that he's done -- all the work he's put in has paid off."

MILWAUKEE, WI – The men's soccer team earned its third win in the last four games, defeating the Wisconsin Lutheran Warriors, 3-1 on Thursday evening, to improve to 4-3 overall.
Despite being outshot 25-11, eight coming in the first 27 minutes against the Crusaders, Maranatha found themselves with a 2-0 lead thanks to freshman forward Wira Wama (Papua New Guinea) and sophomore defender Daniel Anderson (Roscoe, IL).
Wama scored the team's first, a left-footed cutback that he buried in the corner of the net, with the assist from senior defender Drew DeLozier (Watertown, WI) at the 32nd minute and Anderson scored two minutes later with the assist from junior midfielder Todd Howard (Conklin, N.Y.).
The Warriors were finally able to get past freshman goalkeeper Alexander Kornivsky (Charlotte, N.C.), and the Maranatha defense, posting a goal at the 36th minute.
Kornivsky finished the game with eight saves in 90 minutes of action and improved to 3-2 on the season.
Wisconsin Lutheran opened the second half with a near-goal that hit the post and followed up with several shots before Wama outraced several defenders and chipped a shot past the goalkeeper, his third of the season, to deliver the final blow. Wama is now tied for first on the team in points (8) and tied for second in goals.
Head Coach Jeff Pill stated after the game, "We finished on our chances, were dangerous on our counter attack, and held possession against a good Wisconsin Lutheran team. We absorbed their pressure and finished strong and now we're looking forward to a matchup against a very improved Grace Bible.
Maranatha faces Grace Bible on Saturday, September 26 at 1:00 p.m.

But the severely mentally retarded 63-year-old died after 17 months of court-ordered placement at a Union City care home a placement his family begged the court and those who managed his care not to make and which his family believes hastened his death.
His life, and death, are at the center of what some families fear could be a growing battle between themselves and the agencies responsible for providing and managing their loved ones' care, capped by the planned closure of Agnews in 2008.
It's a battle that has been brewing for decades: community care versus institutional care. The advocates for community paint theirs as a struggle for the civil rights of the disabled, an opportunity for them to lead a more normal life. But those with loved ones still in the institutions fear community care could be deadly, and they want the problems they see in care homes to be fixed before their loved ones are moved.
"I believe placements out of Agnews are going to be more and more aggressive in 2007," said Brian Boxall, president of the Association for the Mentally Retarded at Agnews, which advocates for families of people living at Agnews.
But state officials, who said use of the court process is extremely rare, said they are working to clarify the guidelines for placements from state institutions to the community.
Eileen Richey, assistant director for the plan to close Agnews, said new guidelines should be available for use there by the end of this month and at the state's other institutions for the developmentally disabled sometime after that. It is not clear whether the guidelines would have helped in Santiago's case.
Terry DeBell, president of the California Association of State Hospital Parent Councils of the Retarded, said her group is asking the Department of Developmental Services to change guidelines on how to interpret non-verbal communication so that families and professionals specializing in such communication are involved.
Richey said she could not comment specifically on Santiago's case, as did Jim Burton, executive director of the Regional Center of the East Bay, the nonprofit agency charged with managing Santiago's care. The state health department is investigating the home Justin's Home in Union City in the wake of Santiago's death, and Richey said the regional center has deployed staff to the home and launched an independent investigation of Justin's Home and others its owners operate.
Family members and friends said staff at the care home waited almost a week to seek medical care when Santiago fell ill shortly before Thanksgiving, despite pleas from the family and staff at his day program to take him to a doctor for symptoms that included violent coughing fits and vomiting. He died Dec. 11 of aspiration pneumonia, sepsis and cardiopulmonary arrest, according to his death certificate.
"They didn't totally neglect him, but they didn't understand what to do," Santiago's sister, Angie Abreu, said of the care home's staff. "Their ignorance on medical care caused him to die."
Dr. Antonio Uy, who works with the care home, prescribed Santiago cough medicine and antibiotics a care decision the family and Boxall said may not have been enough. Santiago collapsed the next day at his care home and was taken to the hospital, they said.
"He was sleepy. But that was his appearance all the time," said Uy, whose office is in South San Francisco, of Santiago's final visit, defending the treatment he prescribed. Uy didn't comment further.
No place else to go
Both the state Department of Developmental Services, which is ultimately responsible for the care of California's developmentally disabled residents, and the heads of three local regional centers, the nonprofit agencies that directly manage disabled persons' care, said they will ensure proper care for all who will be displaced by Agnews' closure.
But Santiago's family said they were forced to accept less.
"We weren't arguing not to put him into a home, because Agnews was closing, but we wanted to have a choice," Abreu said.
Abreu said her brother's regional center caseworker told her family that he should move out of Agnews, and that there was just one place he could go: Justin's Home.
The home had just opened and hadn't yet established a licensing track record, Boxall said. But Boxall said another home operated by the family that owned Justin's was cited for more than a dozen deficiencies during a 2004 visit, including citations for failing to obtain proper medical care for one client and failure to provide proper nursing services to two others.
Justin's Home was cited for 11 deficiencies during a 2005 inspection, which included two for failure to provide adequate nursing services, licensing records show. But it garnered just three citations when the state checked it in October, the records show.
Pacifico Ruiz, who runs the home, said he couldn't comment on specifics of Santiago's case. But he defended the care his home provides.
"We provided him good quality care, far and beyond the standard," Ruiz said.
Ellen Goldblatt of Protection and Advocacy, Inc., a legal advocate for the disabled, said developmentally disabled people die regardless of the location or quality of their care.
"People die in the community and in the developmental center. They die because of tragic, inappropriate care and without inappropriate care, in both settings," Goldblatt said.
Goldblatt, whose group feels community care is far superior to that offered in the institutions, said court processes to help people move aren't being used enough. On the contrary, she said, family objections are too often used to block moves.
But Abreu said that wasn't true in her family's case.
Abreu relayed her concerns about the home to Santiago's case manager, but they fell on deaf ears, she said. She was then given a choice: accept the move or be taken to court.
The family asked Santiago's case manager if he could find a home closer to Abreu's home in Placerville, but he said there were none available, according to family accounts. Agnews' clients rights advocate filed papers with the Santa Clara County Superior Court, saying Santiago himself had indicated he wanted the move, Abreu said.
But Santiago's family said he never expressed an interest to them in moving. Santiago didn't talk, Abreu said. And even if he could, Abreu questioned whether he was able to make an informed decision.
"People do have rights," she said. "But when they have a mentality of a baby, how could they understand their rights?"
The family had just started looking into what they would need to do to have the legal say-so over Santiago's care, Abreu said. Without it, Santiago was legally responsible for making his own care decisions.
Courts not perfect
In a brief hearing, the court OK'd Santiago's move. The family objected, but they lacked a representative there. Judge Thomas Edwards suggested they get a lawyer, a court transcript shows.
Edwards did not return a call seeking comment. But the attorneys involved in the case admitted the courts aren't perfect.
"The court's the place that we have now. I don't know what other body can do it. No one else is charged with that responsibility," said Mairead O'Keefe, the deputy public defender who represented Santiago in court. While she fought for the move, she would not say whether Santiago indicated to her that he wished to move.
But Donald Querio, an attorney representing another family in a similar dispute over moving their loved one out of Sonoma Developmental Center, is arguing that an alternative does exist: the administrative hearings typically used to solve disputes over a disabled person's care plan.
Burton, executive director for the Regional Center of the East Bay, said his agency has engaged in just one such court action involving a placement dispute with a family. He said it's something his agency seeks to avoid.
"We work very hard to reach consensus with families. And we do, 99.9 percent of the time," said Burton, who said he cannot comment specifically on Santiago's case.
Burton said he is obligated to help his clients move out of institutions if they wish to do so, and that even those who can't talk are able to communicate their wishes.
And Goldblatt said pneumonia is a common cause of death for disabled people.
Burton said that over the last 19 months roughly the time Santiago lived at Justin's Home five of the 64 clients his agency served at Agnews died of pneumonia.
Abreu said she shared her story in the hopes that what happened to her family doesn't happen to anyone else.
"My brother died, and I don't want it to happen to anybody else," she said. "That's why I'm making an issue of the whole thing."

WASHINGTON (March 13, 2013)--President Barack Obama was meeting Wednesday on Capitol Hill with U.S. House Republicans crucial to striking deals on immigration, gun legislation and bringing the nation's debt under control, all issues Mr. Obama says are second-term priorities.
Wednesday's meeting was the second in a series of trips the president is making to Capitol Hill this week to court lawmakers, and it came the day after Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman, unveiled a budget plan that proposes to repeal Mr. Obama's health care law and cut spending across a swath of programs dear to the president and Democrats.
Mr. Obama criticized Ryan's proposal as more of the same.
The president returns to the Hill on Thursday to meet with Senate Republicans and House Democrats.
He met with Senate Democrats on Tuesday.

The newspaper reports that computers on Whitehall's secure intranet were first used in 2009 to add the line "Blame Liverpool fans" to the page.
Then in 2012, changes were made from the same source, with the phrase "You'll never walk alone" changed to "You'll never walk again" and later "You'll never w*** alone."
The phrase "This is Anfield" was also changed to "This is a S***hole."
The Echo says: "The entries were posted from IP addresses used by computers based in government departments including the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Her Majesty's Treasury and the Office of the Solicitor General."
A spokesperson from the Cabinet Office confirmed they were investigating: "This is a matter that we will treat with the utmost seriousness and are making urgent inquiries. No one should be in any doubt of the government's position regarding the Hillsborough disaster and its support for the families of the 96 victims and all those affected by the tragedy."
The shocking news emerges less than two weeks after the club marked the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster in which 96 of their fans died during an FA Cup semi-final, one of the darkest days in the history of English football.
The supporters lost their lives in a crush at the Leppings Lane End of Sheffield Wednesday's ground at the start of the match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.
New inquests into the deaths started last month after a 2012 High Court decision the quashed accidental death verdicts from 21 years ago following an independent inquiry, which had found new evidence and absolved fans of any responsibility.
The tragedy shocked the world and led to a new era of modern stadiums across Britain, with banks of terracing and metal fences around pitches replaced by seating throughout and better security.
The disaster, in which 766 people were injured, is also the subject of two other investigations, with the government setting up a new police probe in 2012. The establishment of the new investigations was a major victory for victims' families, who never accepted the official version of events in which blame was placed on the fans themselves.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is also looking into allegations arising from the aftermath, and will review allegations surrounding amendments to statements and the actions of police officers.

GM Sales Seen Falling for Third Straight Month: Is Weather to Blame?
Updated with Ford and GM share prices and news on GM incentive plans.
Detroit ( TheStreet) -- As the debate continues over whether the economy is slowing or simply being held in check by weather, February's auto sales numbers are unlikely to provide any clear indication either way.
Auto sales had been gaining steadily for four years but hit a rough patch this winter. Experts expect a sales gain of 1% or less in February. So the three-month trend shows December flat, January down 3% and February flat.
Harsh winter weather continued in many parts of the country in February and "kept a lot of people in major metropolitan areas out of dealerships for extended periods of time," said analyst Jesse Toprak of Cars.com. Partially as a result of weather and partially as a result of seasonal trends, vehicle inventories grew.
Toprak said he expects February light-vehicle sales to gain 1% from the same month a year earlier, leading to a relatively low seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of sales of 15.4 million, also up about 1% from January. Toprak thinks retail sales will rise 5%, but fleet sales will be lower, partially as a result of the weather.
Besides weather, the stock market has long been a key factor in auto sales. Like auto sales, the S&P 500 fell 3% in January, falling to 1782 at month's end. But the index closed Wednesday at 1846, almost exactly where it began the year, meaning that January's loss was made up in February.
"One reason auto sales held (steady) is that the stock market recovered this month," said Toprak, who recently studied the correlation between the SAAR and the Dow Jones Industrial Average between January 2007 and January 2014, finding it to be 82%. In other words, in four out of five months, the SAAR and the Dow moved in the same direction. "They almost go hand in hand," Toprak said. So a rising stock market largely offset the winter weather.
GM shares closed Wednesday at 36.83, down 9% for the year. Ford shares closed Wednesday at $15.26, down 1.6% for the year. Ford paid a dividend of 12.5 cents per share on Jan. 29.
Both the stock market and auto sales are important economic indicators. The market supposedly tells us what is going to happen in a few months, while auto sales tell us what just happened. Auto sales are a particularly good indicator because they represent most consumers' second-biggest purchase and because they are reported so quickly --- and don't need to be readjusted later.

The Schoelcher Library: A Building Not Easy to Forget
read moreread less
If this library doesn't look much like your average Caribbean building, there's a reason for that.
It's not.
The entire library was first built in France back in 1889, then shipped piece by piece to the island Martinique as an exquisite monument to Victor Schoelcher the French abolitionist writer from the early 19th century.
Any Caribbean travel experience in Martinique isn't complete without taking in this building's unique architecture.

MONTEZUMA COUNTY, Colo. (KKCO) - Mosquitoes will bite just about anything with blood, so it's no surprise multiple species can contract the deadly West Nile disease.
The Colorado Department of Agriculture says a three month old colt in Montezuma county has tested positive for West Nile, and officials say more cases could be brought to light in the coming months.
A vaccine is available for horses, but they do need a booster shot every few years. Symptoms include a tilting of the head, muscle tremors, stumbling, lack of coordination, and limb weakness or paralysis.

QUESTIONABLE MATHEMATICS. Eric Brahinsky saw in an article on "New molecule has explosive future" on January 31 in the San Antonio Express-News, reprinted from the New York Times: "According to Plato, the tetrahedron (four triangles) represents fire, the cube (four squares) symbolizes earth, the octahedron (eight triangles) stands for air, the icosahedron (20 triangles) represents water and the dodecahedron (12 pentagons), the universe." Of course, the cube has six faces, not four.
Readers are invited to send in more examples of questionable mathematics from the media.
THE CODE BOOK, by Simon Singh, author of the best seller Fermat's Enigma, was criticized in the March Notices of the AMS for numerous inaccuracies. I must say, however, that I found it a beautiful and fascinating popular explanation of the history and mathematics of codes, and that the inaccuracies involved matters I either missed or forgot anyway.
OLD CHALLENGE. Was there any validity to the claim that the full moon of December 22, 1999 was the brightest that we shall see for millions of years?
ANSWER. There are a number of reasons for a bright moon:
1. The moon is full.
2. The moon is at its closest approach to the earth in its orbit ("perigee").
3. The full moon is high in the nighttime sky, particularly at Winter solstice (when the sun, opposite the moon, is low in the daytime sky).
All three of these factors coincided on December 22, 1999. This had last happened 133 years earlier on December 21, 1866. But MILLIONS of years? Well, the moon is gradually moving farther from Earth, so future occasions might not be quite as bright. Of course we have not even mentioned the most important factor--the weather--and there are other factors too.
NEW CHALLENGE. Propose a new system for selecting Presidential candidates.
Send answers, comments, and new questions by email to email@example.com, to be eligible for Flatland and other book awards. Winning answers will appear in the next Math Chat. Math Chat appears on the first and third Thursdays of each month. Prof. Morgan's homepage is at www.williams.edu/Mathematics/fmorgan.
THE MATH CHAT BOOK, including a $1000 Math Chat Book QUEST, questions and answers, and a list of past challenge winners, is now available from the MAA (800-331-1622).

'Scandal' Recap: Standoffs and Showdowns
Last night was the night of big standoffs. Jake stood off against Cyrus. Cyrus stood off against Mellie. Mellie stood off against Fitz. And Fitz and Olivia had the most epic of showdowns.
Only Fitz and Mellie didn't blink, and that's going to set up all kinds of craziness for next week.
But could you be like the Grants? Could you sit back and give up everything you've worked your entire life for in order to get back at the husband who hurt you? Or even to earn the woman you've scorned?
Fitz and Olivia (and Tony Goldwyn and Kerry Washington, for that matter) have combustible chemistry. But Fitz, we have to admit, is a wee bit obsessive. There are more than 300 million people in the United States, but he's trying to woo back the girlfriend who's trying to move on.
He's got his Navy buddy standing guard outside her apartment. He's threatening to show up at her office. And he's summoning her to his. In any normal circumstance, this would be grounds for a restraining order. But this is "Scandal," so it's hot.
At the Oval Office, Liv snatches off her gloves and snaps at him, "What?!?" There he makes his plea for them to get back together. Fitz has gotten awfully demanding lately: summoning Liv, telling her to sit down, and even going so far as to tell her "You do not walk away from me." A little too forceful for my taste, and for Liv's, too. She's had enough of his back and forth. "If you want me, earn me," she spits at him. Check!
All while Fitz is trying to get back together with his mistress, his wife is promising to go public with the president's extramarital proclivities. Let's take a second to actually think about the character of Mellie. She's a Supreme dying to be Diana Ross. She knew she'd have to play the background to Fitz's foreground for a while, a la Hillary. But i dont rhonk she ever bargained for blatant disrespect. Sure, she's been an insufferable opportunistic shrew, but she never asked for humiliation. And that's what she's gotten in spades from the day Fitz met Olivia.
So when she told Cy she'd go on national television and out the president as an adulterer, no one should have been surprised that she'd go through with it. I was surprised at how well she played it, though. Props to Bellamy Young, who portrays Mellie, for pulling out the misty eyes. If that had been a real interview with Anderson Cooper, I'd have believed her.
Now while Mellie proving the White House hasn't learned to never underestimate a First Lady scorned, the president was proving his worth to Olivia. The clock was tick ticking away as until Mellie went on the air. And Fitz just sat on Olivia's couch and stared at her while Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye sang the other was all they needed to get by. (The music department in this show has truly been stellar.) When the countdown was over, Liv crossed the room to her lover and they had a pretty epic kiss. Mellie is describing the hurt of being being married to a philanderer while said philanderer is engaging in shower sex (and Olivia didn't even where a shower cap, so you know the love is real).
Poor Cyrus. A few weeks ago, he lamented to James how he could have been president, but his attraction for men stood in the way. He helps a great man run a country, but lately he's been helping that man handle his wife and his mistress. If I were Cy, I'd say I didn't sign up for this. But as Liv said, Cyrus is nothing if not loyal to Fitz.
And that loyalty had him running pointless interference to keep Mellie off of the small screen. But while he was so busy handling the president's women, he didn't realize that his own husband was conducting the interview. Now that's scandalous.
But not as scandalous as the chief of staff being fingered as the mole. It was an obvious red herring trying to make Cy the mole. EVERYONE knows he would never try to kill Liv. Yes, he's ruthless and unscrupulous and he's had a woman murdered before (as Liv found out), but Olivia is not someone he would ever harm that way. This show is delving into "The Killing" territory by pinning the mole on anyone with screen time.
Side thoughts:
* It was nice to see Huck shake off the crazy long enough to identify Charlie's ear as the one that broke into Liv's apartment. We're rooting for you, Huck.
* Not only does Jake have home movies of his night with Liv, but Charlie kicked back in Jake's easy chair to watch them. I wonder if those are going to come back to haunt them.
* Speaking of Jake and Liv, that literal kiss off she gave him was kinda ho hum, especially compared to the scene of Liv and Fitz just staring at one another. Poor Scott Foley. He could always go after Quinn, who doesn't have a boyfriend.
* David Rosen is back. Yay!
* Charlie likes to discuss "50 Shades of Grey" at a book club. That's all I have to say about that.
So what's next? Who do you think is the mole? Is Quinn becoming a more stable Huck? What will Fitz and Liv do when they step back into the real world after shower bliss?
What did you think? Leave your thoughts below in the comments section.

Hi -
Same problem here, but was able to log into the admin. area on our installation. I turned off your SEO plugin and problem disappeared. Back on and we get the redirect loop for the public pages -- this is on a multi-site set-up and the same problem happened for all blogs. We are running the latest version of WP. We reverted back to HeadSpace2 SEO plugin and there are no problems running it. We love your SEO plugin, however and so look forward to reinstalling after this issue is resolved.
Thanks -
Me too... I think people will be sick of seing me post the same problem on every thread like this, but I want it sorted because the plugin was awesome... until the update activated the following error:
"The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
Hi -
This thread was marked resolved... but I do not see a resolution?
Please advise.
Ditto that - would love to see the solution, I have the same problem. Have checked a ton of other threads and no solutions have worked for our sites.
Yes this has happened again.
See this today. Any ideas/changes? I'm running the latest version of the plugin.
Same problem here ...

We've discussed on these pages before the talent of Wes Borland and the underground metal community's grudging respect for the sole interesting member of Limp Bizkit.
* The Smashing Pumpkins (which has become the epithet for Billy Corgan himself,) is soliciting fan-submitted art that evokes images pertaining to their new album "Oceania." Fans can tag and submit their art based on the album's 13 song titles through any number of social network and photo-sharing websites. For details on how and where to submit, we well as guidelines for the submissions themselves, check it out here. "Oceania" drops June 19th.
As a reviewer and music journalist, sometimes the toughest task is to remain impartial and objective about a new project that slides across your desk. I've run into this conundrum a handful of times, where I thought I already knew that a band would be great or reprehensible; it's hard to stifle your natural inclination and judge something on its own merits.
Heavy metal and comedy can be a caustic combination. The frequently acerbic nature of either medium can, if not properly mixed and settled, create an overly acidic and tartly sardonic solution that is unfit for consumption.

My new neighbor just arrived from South Dakota. He's got a pretty shorthaired pointer and a yellow lab for flushing and retrieving. The poor bastard looks like they just dropped him off at prison. Anyway, I'm looking for some spots to get him into some birds without having to drive back to SD. I realize guys don't want to tell people about their good hunting spots but even a general location would be good. The guy has the hounds, if there's some birds there, we'll get 'em. Thanks for your help.

WILKES-BARRE (AP) — A man who pleaded guilty to a charge that he tried to hire someone to kill a witness in the murder of two people found buried in northeastern Pennsylvania a decade ago has been sentenced to 15 to 30 years in prison.
The (Wilkes-Barre) Times Leader (http://bit.ly/1j55qzT ) reports that 41-year-old Michael Scerbo was sentenced Friday in Luzerne County Court on his plea to a charge of solicitation to commit homicide. He was given credit for 750 days already served.
Authorities alleged that Scerbo offered $1,000 to an undercover trooper in 2012 to kill a witness against Selenski, who is charged in the 2002 strangulation deaths of two people.
Their remains were among a number of sets of human remains found on Selenski's rural property outside Wilkes-Barre in 2003.

Grasso is Greener: Court Tosses Actions Against Former NYSE Head
The legal news is coming in fast and furious today. The latest: A New York appeals court has tossed out a summary judgment decision that ex-New York Stock Exchange Chairman Richard Grasso must return a portion of his $187.5 million compensation package. Here's a report from Dow Jones Newswires, and one from Bloomberg.
In a 3-1 decision, the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division also dismissed the two remaining causes of actions against Grasso and one against former NYSE director Ken Langone, saying New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo can no longer pursue the claims under the state's not-for-profit law since the NYSE has become a for-profit company, NYSE Euronext Inc.
The "Supreme Court erred in concluding that the attorney general's authority to maintain these causes of action against Messrs. Grasso and Langone was unaffected by the conversion of the exchange into a for-profit entity," Appellate Division Justice James M. McGuire wrote for the majority.
The intermediate appeals court decision is the second major setback in a week for the state attorney general's office as it attempts to force Grasso to return more than $112 million.
Last week the New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, upheld an appellate division decision that the attorney general's office couldn't pursue four of six causes of action against Grasso. The remaining two were dismissed today.
"Unless it's reversed on appeal, Grasso has won this particular lawsuit, because there's nothing left," said Bryan Cave lawyer Richard Schulman to Bloomberg. Schulman isn't involved in the case.
The case was brought by former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer in 2004, alleging Grasso's pay was excessive for a not-for-profit company. Grasso, who left the NYSE in 2003 amid turmoil over his pay, has denied wrongdoing.

Map of Regina's progress from D.C. to New Zealand
Christchurch is, of course, full of the tracks of people who have ventured to Antarctica, and there is some interesting local history. The British explorer Captain Robert F. Scott stopped here before going south (literally and figuratively). New Zealand is emphatically Anglophile, and Scott is remembered fondly. There is a heroic statue of him in a prominent place in the center of town. In the school I went to here, there was a photo of Scott writing at a desk. The main school building was a private residence at the time, and Scott stayed with the family who lived there. I am going to visit the building to see whether the photo is still there, and will try to find out more about the story behind it.
There is a bronze bust of the Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen Amundsen (head only) in the local museum, too. Most of the bronze has the dignified patina of age, but his nose—which is absolutely enormous—is a bright shining gold. I suspect visitors rub it for good luck. Given the outcome of the race to the South Pole, they may be on to something.
Christchurch is the gateway to the Ross Sea region of Antarctica, and the Great White South is very much part of the local culture. There are "Antarctic attractions" like the rather fabulous Antarctic Centre near the airport. Canterbury University offers courses in Antarctic Studies including a field trip to McMurdo for students. And the country claims the area including McMurdo Sound as New Zealand territory—the Ross Dependency (including special Ross Dependency stamps to be used for postage from McMurdo Sound). A nice consequence of this avuncular attitude was that when I was last at Scott Base (the New Zealand base on Ross Island), Telecom New Zealand extended its national telephone deals to include McMurdo Sound. Talk about toll calls!

Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya (Thai: อุบลรัตนราชกัญญา; rtgs: Ubonrat Ratchakanya; Thai pronunciation: [ʔù.bon.rát râːt.tɕʰa.kan.jāː]; born 5 April 1951 in Lausanne, Switzerland), or full name Ubolratana Rajakanya Sirivadhana Barnavadi (Thai: อุบลรัตนราชกัญญา สิริวัฒนาพรรณวดี; rtgs: Ubonrat Ratchakanya Siriwatthana Phannawadi), is a princess of Thailand and the eldest child of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit. She relinquished her royal title and settled in the United States with her husband, Peter Ladd Jensen, but returned to Thailand after divorcing in 1998.
Since her return to Thailand, she has increasingly taken part in royal ceremonies, though not to the extent of her royal siblings. In 2008, she began a film career, playing the main role in the Thai film Where The Miracle Happens.
Early life[edit]
Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya is the eldest child of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit. She was born on 5 April 1951 at Mont Suisse Hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland. She returned to Thailand and stayed at Ambhornsathan Throne Hall, Dusit Palace. She was styled Her Royal Highness by her father at the Royal Celebration of the first month birthday ceremony (Phra Ratchaphithi Somphot Duean Lae Khuen Phra U; พระราชพิธีสมโภชเดือนและขึ้นพระอู่) King Bhumibol Adulyadej gave her name and style Her Royal Highness Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya Sirivadhana Barnavadi. Her names are derived from several royal ancestors:
- The name Ubol Ratana comes from her maternal grandmother, Mom Luang Bua Sanitvongse.
- The name Siri comes from the name of her mother, Queen Sirikit.
- The name Vadhana comes from the name of her paternal great-grandmother, Queen Sri Savarindira (Savang Vadhana), the Queen Grandmother.
She has taken part in royal duties since she was very young.
In 4th SEA Games in 1967 in Bangkok, the King and Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya competed in sailing and won gold medals.
Ubol Ratana attended primary to secondary levels at Chitralada School. She went to the United States for her tertiary education. She studied at MIT, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in mathematics in 1973. She later obtained a master's degree in public health at University of California at Los Angeles.
While at MIT she first met Peter Ladd Jensen, whom she later married.
Marriage and family[edit]
On 25 July 1972, Ubol Ratana relinquished her royal titles to marry Jensen, then lived in the United States with her husband for over 26 years. Her husband, as a foreigner, did not receive any royal titles. After years of rumoured marital problems, they divorced in 1998. Ubol Ratana and her children lived in San Diego until 2001, when they returned to Thailand.
Ubol Ratana and Peter Ladd Jensen had three children: two daughters and a son, all born in the United States.
- Khun Ploypailin Jensen (born 12 February 1981)
- Khun Bhumi Jensen (affectionately known as Khun Poom) (16 August 1983 – 26 December 2004), who had autism, died in the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.[1] Princess Ubol Ratana established the Khun Poom Foundation (มูลนิธิคุณพุ่ม) in his memory, to aid children with autism and other learning disabilities.
- Khun Sirikitiya Jensen (born 18 March 1985)
While Ubolratana Rajakanya Jensen remained in the U.S., her mother Queen Sirikit and other members of the Royal Family often flew to the United States for visits. Ubol Ratana likewise flew to Thailand along with her husband to visit her parents and the other members of the Royal Family, while joining them in royal ceremonies when she visited Thailand. She visited in 1980, 1982, 1987, 1992 and 1996, taking part in several family events, before her permanent return in 2001.

Royal title[edit]
Ubol Ratana was born with the titles of Her Royal Highness and Princess Chao Fa, but gave these up on her marriage to an American citizen. The title Chao Fa was lost because she married a commoner. She had previously held the royal title Chao Fa Ubolratana Rajakanya. She still retains the style of Tunkramom Ying, which means "Daughter to the Queen Regent". Since her return to Thailand, she has increasingly taken part in royal ceremonies, though not to the extent of her siblings.

- Mrs. Ubolratana Rajakanya Jensen / Mrs. Julie Jensen[2][3] (1972 - 1998)
- Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya / Mrs. Ubolratana Mahidol (1998–present)
Film career[edit]
Ubol Ratana acted in the Thai movie 'Where The Miracle Happens (หนึ่งใจ..เดียวกัน), released in August 2008. She plays the drama's main role of a lonely-at-the-top CEO who begins a life of philanthropy after the death of her only daughter.[4] On October 2010, she appeared in the film My Best Bodyguard (มายเบสต์บอดีการ์ด).
Thai royal decorations[edit]
Ubol Ratana has received the following royal decorations in the Honours System of Thailand:
- The Most Illustrious Order of the Royal House of Chakri
- Dame Grand Cross (First Class) of The Most Illustrious Order of Chula Chom Klao

MORAGA -- Contract talks between the Moraga-Orinda Fire District and its firefighters are on hold after last week's passage of a new pension reform bill projected to save the state billions of dollars in retirement costs.
Both sides say the legislation is having an effect on the bargaining process, which has been unfolding against the backdrop of a budget deficit, increased scrutiny over pensions and the district's unfunded liabilities.
"In light of this new legislation -- the pension reform bill -- we want to sit back and take the time to evaluate" it, said Vince Wells, president of the United Professional Firefighters of Contra Costa County. The union, he said, wants more information to gauge the legislation's impact before moving forward and will examine the new bill.
Fire board President Fred Weil said the rapid passage of bill AB340 had "thrown everything into a bit of confusion" and that the district needed time to "sort it out."
Weil canceled a Wednesday "informational" discussion on the status of contract negotiations, after weeks of requests from residents to make the bargaining process more transparent.
And while he assured the two residents who showed up at Wednesday's meeting that the negotiations have not stopped, Weil said he wasn't sure anything active was going on with the 2-year-old bargaining process. He also said the discussion would come back on the agenda when the board expands from three to five members, expected to happen in December.
The legislation, awaiting Gov. Jerry Brown's signature before becoming law, proposes a number of changes to the state's pension system, including a revised formula for new employees upon which benefits are calculated.
The current formula for most public safety employees, including police, firefighters and probation officers, calculates an employee's retirement benefit at 3 percent of their salary multiplied by years of service at age 50; under the new legislation, the formula is 2 percent at age 57 for new hires and would go into effect Jan. 1, 2013.
The new legislation also includes increased pension contributions and pension caps and would eliminate spiking
Neither the district nor the union has released any specific details about the existing contract proposals, but Wells said they include a portion on pension reform. He also said the governor's bill "went further than what we were talking (about)."

Is it right to profit from addiction? Part 2 – The unavoidable honesty of ethics.
This is the question which the Addiction Action Campaign is about to lodge in the constitutional court in South Africa.
For those who have heard of South Africa's constitution, it's been hailed as one of the most progressive constitutions in the world, receiving praise from all the greatest nations of the world.
Although I lack confidence in the integrity of our country's elected government, I do believe in the integrity of our country's constitutional court, and the strength of our constitution.
The question we are asking, is our application, and I believe that the answer is unavoidable. It's only a matter of time before we receive the ruling we're expecting.
The decision will also be the making of history and will result in South Africa becoming the international yardstick by which all democracies will be measured on the issue of profiting from addiction. It will also establish the Addiction Action Campaign as an international authority on the subject and will usher in a new movement in social reform and addiction harm reduction.
By asking this question internationally, whilst presenting the answer that South Africa has determined, in time, trillions of dollars will be loosed and channeled to addiction and substance abuse NGO's worldwide. The hope that this initiative presents to the world promises to provide a real solution to this horrific worldwide epidemic.
The Addiction Action Campaign needs all the help we can get to ensure the success of this project in South Africa first.
Can the world afford for us not to succeed?

VSouth Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- Union workers at the Rite Aid warehouse in Poca have approved a new contract by a narrower margin than usual, thanks to a term requiring them to pay about $16 a week for insurance.
The workers approved the new contract Sunday by a vote of 157 to 113 at the teamsters building in South Charleston.
Workers at the distribution center say this is the closest vote in memory.
Denise Brown, a warehouse employee, says it's just a relief to still have a job and health insurance in the current economic climate.
The contract includes a provision saying the warehouse will remain open at least for the next three years.

SIKESTON - A decision by a judge that Missouri's method of funding public education is unconstitutional was welcomed by Sikeston R-6 School Superintendent Robert Buchanan. "We have been one of those districts always on the short end of it," Buchanan said about the money derived by the school funding formula which the district receives. "We are receiving less state aid than what is considered fair."

Kovy's Revenge
Sunday, 04.13.2008 / 12:04 AM ET / News
|Alex Kovalev had the last laugh against the Bruins in Game 2 by notching the overtime winner.
After being manhandled by the Bruins all night long without any of those transgressions leading to a Bruins penalty, Kovalev finally snapped. Unfortunately, his retaliatory slash to the back of Aaron Ward's leg led to a two-minute minor which resulted in the Bruins tying the game 2-2 midway through the third period.
Staring at the possibility of leaving the Bell Centre wearing goat horns should the Canadiens have gone down to defeat, Kovalev got payback in overtime by scoring the winning goal.
"It got really frustrating to get hit and slashed all night. I guess I just got fed up," admitted Kovalev. "The penalty I got was selfish, but I'm glad I had the chance to make up for it in the end."
With the Habs' top-ranked regular-season power play still in search of its first goal of the 2008 Playoffs through 12 opportunities heading into overtime, Professor Kovalev did a little mid-game homework to remedy the situation.
| Related Info
Kovalev, on the other hand, didn't fool his head coach one bit. Seeing his star winger weave his magic to lead the Habs to victory isn't much of a shocker to Guy Carbonneau these days.
"That's what good players do," explained Carbonneau. "They feed off those types of challenges. I wanted him to come back to the bench in overtime, but he wanted to stay out there. He wanted to prove to everyone what he could do."
As the seconds ticked away during the Habs' overtime power play, the fire in Kovalev's eyes could be seen from the Habs' bench.
"All of us could see that Kovy wanted to stay on the ice for the rest of that power play," said Mathieu Dandenault. "We were all pretty much convinced that he was going to score. That's the definition of a winner."

Pink Sheets
What some very macho rock stars sleep on.
Also, a publication by the National Quotation Bureau that lists prices of over-the-counter (OTC) stocks—usually shares of delisted or very small, thinly-traded companies. These shares don't need to file papers with the SEC or meet their rules the way that stocks on exchanges do; they tend to be highly illiquid and have (maybe) a single dealer.
Thanks to that publication (which used to be printed on pink paper), trading OTC stocks is sometimes referred to as trading on the pink sheets.
If a company's stock symbol includes the letters "PK," it trades on the pink sheets. No word on whether matching shams and throw pillows are included.
