WASHINGTON - It's a charge often heard from conservatives -- the federal government is too big.
Now, the same message is being repeated by Democrats.
President Barack Obama asked Congress Friday for the authority to reorganize the government in an effort save money and shrink its size.
The White House said government bureaucracy has grown to be onerous and outdated.
"Landlines have turned into smartphones. The Cold War has given way to globalization. So much has happened, and yet the government we have today is largely the government we had back then," Obama explained.
Click play for John Jessup's report followed by comments from Seton Motley of LessGovernment.org.
His first idea is to merge six major trade and commerce agencies.
"We could consolidate them all into one department with one website, one phone number and one mission: helping American businesses succeed," he said.
The administration believes that move could save taxpayers $3 billion over 10 years by cutting redundant costs.
The move would also slice the federal workforce, eliminating between 1,000-2,000 jobs.
But before anything can happen, Congress must approve the president's plan.
"With or without Congress, I'm going to keep at it. But it'd be a lot easier if Congress helped," Obama said.
The president is trying to make good on an issue he raised in last year's State of the Union address.
He will likely try to use his plan again on the campaign trail -- making the case that he's worked to downsize government.
However, critics say that argument doesn't add up when stacked against Obama's record.
"After three years in the White House presiding over the largest expansion of government in generations, the timing of this announcement and the failure to consult Congress raise questions about the president's commitment to a real reorganization and reduction in the size of the federal government," Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said in a statement.
While Republicans and Democrats may share the same goal, there's no sign that cooperation will replace the ever-present partisan gridlock.

MEXICO CITY (AP) - The brakes apparently failed on a 26-year-old bus Tuesday before it plowed through a highway toll booth and slammed into a concrete wall in western Mexico, killing at least 33 people - 10 of them children - headed for a re-enactment of the Last Supper.
About 20 people were injured.
The 1976-model bus had picked up passengers in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero and was headed to the city of Guadalajara when the accident occurred in Zinapecuaro, 110 miles west of Mexico City.
Passengers were thrown through the bus windows in the crash, which scattered wreckage and bodies along hundreds of feet of roadway. The most severely injured were taken 30 miles to hospitals in Morelia, the Michoacan state capital, said local emergency services director Juan Alberto Valdez.
Felipe Avila, the Zinapecuaro director of civil defense, reported that 10 children were among the dead.

ALBION, Mich. -- Soon after the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, the Chinese government embarked on an ambitious program of economic reforms, the modernization of science and technology, the development of a market economy and China?s full reintegration into the international community.

The unemployment rate for younger veterans is among the highest in the nation.
More than 20 percent of veterans between the ages of 18-24 are out of work and the numbers for those 25-34 are also in the double-digits.
That's higher than the numbers for non-vets in the same age range and far higher than the national average.
An official with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said veterans must do a better job of explaining how skills gained in the military are useful in the workplace.

IGF 2011 Main Competition Entrant
Company: Copenhagen Game Collective (Copenhagen, Copenhagen K - Denmark)
Game Website: http://brutallyunfairtactics.com/
Description:B.U.T.T.O.N. (Brutally Unfair Tactics Totally OK Now) is a one-button party game for 2-8 players. The game consists of short rounds. In each round, the game instructs players to put down their controllers and take several steps back away from the computer. Then, after displaying an additional direction designed to add some chaos (e.g. "Lie on the floor"), the game announces a micro-challenge (e.g. "Any player whose button is pressed loses"). In a race in physical space, players rush to the controllers to press the "right" button � be it their own or that of their opponents.
In B.U.T.T.O.N., what players are "allowed" to do will depend on the specific community of people playing. The computer, of course, cannot detect if players are taking a full six steps back, or if each player really completed five pushups, etc. This is not a shortcoming, but a feature. Rather than let the computer carry out all the rules, the players are themselves responsible for enforcing (or not enforcing) the rules. On this account we were inspired by old folk games and board games, which encourage improvisational play and "house rules."
If you see any information about Brutally Unfair Tactics Totally OK Now (B.U.T.T.O.N.) that needs to be corrected or updated, contact the IGF Chairman.

Undergraduate Program
Criminal Justice is an interdisciplinary field that draws on the social sciences, legal studies, and the humanities. Teaching and research are carried out by a diverse group of scholars trained in criminal justice and criminology, law, history, political science, anthropology, sociology, geography, and psychology.
The Department of Criminal Justice provides students with a liberal arts education to assist them in understanding problems of crime, law, and social control systems. The Department focuses on social norms, rules, and laws; the causes of their violations; and the social and legal response to these violations. Systems of regulation, including the criminal justice system and dispute resolution processes, are studied and evaluated as organizational, social and cultural processes.
The undergraduate program allows students pursuing a major, minor or certificated to establish a solid foundation in the discipline of criminal justice through exposure to theories of crime and deviance, broad perspectives on the criminal justice system, and alternative social control systems. The undergraduate program also provides an excellent opportunity for students to pursue personal interests in criminal justice through a wide variety of elective courses. The degree is designed for students interested in studying justice-related issues, including law. A background in criminal justice provides an excellent foundation for careers and graduate work in law, social work, journalism, government, research, or community service as well as many other areas that seek experience in liberal arts.

Xmas rainstorms and soggy soil delaying soy and corn planting in Argentina
Christmas rainstorms across Argentina further delayed soy and corn planting, keeping markets guessing about whether the grains powerhouse can produce enough this season to help bring high-flying global food prices down to earth.
Argentina is the world's No. 2 corn exporter after the United States and its No. 1 soy-oil and soy-meal supplier. But sowing in the central Pampas farm belt lags last season's tempo by about 20 percentage points, said Tomas Parenti, an agronomist with the Rosario grains exchange.
Up to 100 millimetres of rain fell late on Monday and early Tuesday (Christmas Eve and Christmas Day), forcing some growers once again to park their seeding machines lest they sink in the mud.
Any more harsh rains at this point -following an unusual August-October wet spell that turned prime Argentine farmland into soggy soil, will add to the problem, Parenti said.
There is excessive moisture in low-lying areas throughout the central farm belt, Parenti said, referring to an area including parts of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe and Cordoba provinces.
Fields located in the same area but at higher elevation are in good shape. We're not expecting a lot of rain over the week ahead but if we get any surprises, anything over 40 or 50 millimetres, it will worsen the problem, he added.
Argentina's main grains port of Rosario situated along the Parana River and offering access to the shipping lanes of the South Atlantic, has received almost twice its normal rainfall this year.
Soggy conditions on the Pampas are bad news for consumer nations looking to Argentina for the supply needed to soften food prices squeezed higher this year by dry crop weather in breadbaskets Russia, the United States and Australia. Benchmark Chicago soy futures are up 20% over the last 12 months, with corn up 9% and wheat 22%.
Global food markets face further volatility in 2013 as stocks and supply of key cereals have tightened, the United Nations food agency said this month.
The rains have also slowed 2012/13 wheat harvesting. The Argentine Agriculture Ministry cut its estimate for 2012/13 wheat production by 5% to 10.5 million tons, which is still higher than leading private forecasts but reflects damage caused by the wet weather.
The Buenos Aires Grains Exchange expects farmers to harvest 9.8 million tons of wheat, while the Rosario exchange sees the crop coming in at 9.5 million tons. Rosario sees 53 million tons of soybeans produced this season and 24 million tons of corn. The Buenos Aires exchange has not yet issued 2012/13 corn and soy projections.

How to choose between a traditional 401(k) and a Roth 401(k)
|Email Print
It's been several years since the Roth 401(k) was introduced to the American retirement scene. As this retirement planning option has become more well-known, and as more employers offer the Roth version of the venerable 401(k), more workers are faced with making a decision about which is more likely to help them reach their retirement goals.
If your employer offers access to a Roth 401(k), it makes sense to rethink your retirement contribution plan. Here's how to decide which type of 401(k) to use for your retirement investment.
Cash Flow Now vs. Tax Savings Later
The Roth 401(k) is a great addition to the retirement savings landscape because it combines the higher contribution of a 401(k) with the tax-free growth seen with the Roth IRA. Plus, a Roth 401(k) doesn't come with the pesky income limitations attached to the Roth IRA. Your Roth 401(k) is just like the "regular" 401(k), except instead of getting a tax deduction now, you contribute with after-tax dollars and you don't have to pay taxes on your withdrawals during retirement.
For many employees, the decision comes down to this: Do you need the cash flow now? Or do you prefer to enjoy tax savings later?
With a traditional 401(k), you make your contributions with pre-tax dollars. This decreases your taxable income, and reduces your current tax bill. If you are going to make a retirement contribution automatically from your paycheck, you are going to see a bigger pay day with the traditional 401(k). This is because the money is taken out of your paycheck before taxes are assessed. Your employer withholds your taxes based on this lower income, so less tax is taken out.
On the other hand, your Roth 401(k) contribution is taken only after taxes have been assessed. After your higher taxes have been withheld, your Roth 401(k) contribution is deducted from your paycheck. The result is a smaller payday with a Roth 401(k).
If you are counting every dollar and struggling with your cash flow needs, a regular 401(k) might make more sense. But for those who are more concerned about the future, a Roth 401(k) provides a nice opportunity to improve tax efficiency. It's true that you pay taxes on your income right now, but if you think that taxes will rise in the future, you save in the long run by paying now.
That's because, with a traditional 401(k), when you eventually withdraw your money from your account, it is taxed as ordinary income; you don't even get the advantage of long-term capital gains rates. Your Roth 401(k), however, sees no taxes. All of the money in the Roth version grows tax-free, shielding you from higher taxes down the road.
Your decision should be based on your current situation. It's also worth noting that you can change things up later. While you might need the tax deduction from a traditional 401(k) right now, in a few years, after your income increases, you can switch to a Roth 401(k). Pay attention to your individual needs, and consider consulting a professional to help you make the best decision.

Property Rights and Transitional Justice: A Forward-Looking Argument
Nahshon Perez
Bar Ilan University
August 19, 2012
This article aims to describe a forward looking approach to the problem of property rights in transitional justice contexts. Undemocratic regimes violate property rights in various ways, from simple thievery to violations of opportunities to appropriate. Post transition situations entail an obligation to correct such injustices therefore. However, returning to the status quo ante is complex, costly, and requires information that is often not available. An alternative is the suggested FCR: forward looking, commensurable and redistributive. Such an approach emphasizes the creation of a baseline of ownership and welfare, rather than an attempt to return to the status quo ante.

LANSING — Eaton County Sheriff's Deputies are investigating a crash involving a semi-truck and an Eatran bus in Eaton Township this morning.
The accident occurred just before 8:30 a.m. when the bus was headed southbound on Flanders Road in Eaton Township and had stopped at a stop sign. When the bus, which contained two passengers, crossed into the intersection it was hit broadside by the semi as it headed eastbound on Clinton Trail.
The unnamed driver told police that the truck attempted to avoid hitting the bus. During the crash, a child was ejected from the bus and was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The bus driver suffered back injuries and was also transported to the hospital, but there were no fatalities in the crash.

Bina is a sweetheart and my friends and I had a wonderful stay with her in Reykjavík. She was very resourceful and made sure we had a place to stay even though there was a mix up with our reservation. She made sure we each had a place to sleep. The breakfast in the morning was good as well, but what I really enjoyed was talking to Bina. She is very interesting and has lots of good stories to tell! She made our last night in Iceland a very pleasant one & I would definitely recommend staying here!

My stay surpassed my expectations. Bina is a lovely host that tries to engage with everyone that comes through. We had several nice chats and she has lots of stories and cool life experiences. She also brews a great cup of coffee! Definitely worth your money to stay here as compared to some of the other places in Reykjavik. Bina offers clean, simple accommodation with breakfast. Just a short walk into town (about half an hour by the water), this is the perfect place to stay.

The country singer, and dad to Miley Cyrus, didn't chat with reporters before the ceremony, instead remaining inside Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
On Oct. 28, Cyrus, 49, filed for divorce from Tish, his wife of 17 years. According to the divorce filing, he seeks to "share the care, custody and control" of the three minor children he has with wife Tish: Miley, who turns 18 in November; Braison, 16; and Noah, 10. (The pair have three older children from previous relationships).

Malcolm Gladwell 10000 Hours Quote
Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hours quote (from his book Outliers) actually comes from neurologist Daniel Levin.
The emerging picture from such studies is that 10,000 hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world-class expert–in anything. In study after study of composers, basketball players, fiction writers, ice skaters, concert pianists, chess players, master criminals and what have you, the number comes up again and again. Of course, this doesn't address why some people get more out of their practice sessions than others do. But no one has yet found a case in which true world-class expertise was accomplished in less time. It seems it takes the brain this long to assimilate all that it needs to know to achieve true mastery.
Malcolm Gladwell 10000 Hours Quote
One the more interesting stories Malcolm highlights is how the Beatles acquired their 10K. He explains that John Lennon and Paul McCartney had been together since 1957. They honed their skills in all places strip clubs in Hamburg Germany.
Apparently the strip club was open for 24 hours and the bands that played would do so in 8 hour shifts. The Beatles would do their stint in Hamburg and return to Liverpool with countless hours of practice under their belt. From it they acquired a tight sound, knew how to keep crowds entertained, and became seasoned veterans in a short time period.
For myself, I've already acquired over 10,000 hours in the teaching profession. For the past few years I've been focusing on learning and implementing marketing strategies in the Internet marketing space.
It would have been easy to initially 'give-up' when the results of my marketing appeared fruitless. I think that's where failure comes from – giving up – not paying your dues.
Along the way to expert status one learns what works, what doesn't and finds mentors that can shave years off the learning curve.

@ Puddymama - Rehoboth is also at the Dallas market, so I've seen them before Thanks for the other links!
3 days without a post, ouch! Well, still have not been tracking food the past few days but I haven't had any real non-primal foods. I have, unfortunately, eaten what I'm sure is CAFO beef from two restaurants lately, but *shrug*. Took some extra fish oil to help balance the O6:O3 ratio, but I'm sure it's still off. Keep slacking in the veggie area and overdoing the fruit, but hard to resist when there's so much in season right now!
Trying to compensate some today.
2 tomatoes (from the back yard) sliced & sprinkled with salt. 4 eggs scrambled in coconut oil. Apple w/ almond butter.
Lunch: IF
Ate a decent bit of watermelon
Leftover BBQ brisket from last night (probably 6 oz or slightly more)
Freakin' Huge salad. Probably 4-5 cups of lettuce, 2 tomatoes, 3/4 of a big cucumber, 1 full (big) green bell pepper
...and ranch on the salad. Doh. I wanted it
Sunday was rest day.
Monday WOD:
Warmup + 400m run
5-5-5 of Clean (50kg)
For time:
21-15-9 of
Overhead Squat (20kg)
Chest-to-bar pull-ups
Today's WOD:
warmup + 400m run
5-5-5 Deadlift 75% of max (88kg)
"Randy" - 75 power snatch for time (20kg)
Took it easy on the snatch weight b/c 1) first time I've done ANY kind of snatch and 2) shoulders were complaining from Monday's workout
Other stuff:
So I'm taking a web-based Intro to Business course...but apparently the instructor isn't. Meaning, we are to read the book, do practice quizzes online and then take tests when they're scheduled. We also have a project to do before the end of the semester. But, no real interaction or lecture or additional info from the instructor. Weird, but makes my life easy. I am awesome at the "read book -> take test" process, especially when it's an online test that is only T/F or multiple choice. Easy 'A' makes Darren happy
Other class is typical science lecture + lab. Since I'm a lot more motivated than I was last time I took science courses in school I anticipate an easy 'A' here as well...which is good, because with the master's program I'm looking at only admitting ~16 people a year, I pretty much have to show I'm serious about this!
Additional stuff...getting my PC set up to dual-boot Linux as a development environment for some part-time software work to continue paying bills while I do this school thing. I'm also searching for a cheap route to get CPR/AED certification. One of our neighbors who we are friends with (yes, some neighbors are not so friendly ) got a free kitten this weekend and their dogs tried to eat it...rather traumatizing...so it's now living with us, temporarily-maybe-permanently. That would make 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a baby incoming. I'm behind on sleep for the past 2 nights due to taking care of said kitten, but can't really be upset at something that cute. She likes to sleep up on my shoulder, I'll have to grab and post up one of the pictures the wifey took Monday morning.

Did she pack the kitchen sink? Victoria Beckham doesn't travel light for Vegas trip
Published 13/11/2012 | 10:03
Designer Victoria Beckham is not a fan of minimal packing.
The 38-year old shared snaps of her suitcase as she packed it, including pieces of her own design, with several blouses, and many pairs on sunglasses.
"Packed and ready for Vegas! Good night fashion bunnies!," she wrote alongside the picture.
The mother-of-four also took to her Twitter account to share a picture of a car overflowing with suitcases.
But the former Spice Girl insisted that they were not all her own and she joked: "I'm so glad that my team travelled to Vegas in style! X vb" about the inelegantly over packed car.
Victoria is in Las Vegas for a photo shoot to mark the launch of her sellout collection at Neiman Marcus.
Although she started work on the shoot straight away, she later tweeted a picture of herself on her hotel balcony, with the words:
"Dressing gown and Manola's in Vegas".

Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: The cake is 4 layers 8"round, coloured neon pink yellow green and blue. Stacked and filled with jam. I cut the 4layers in half, and separated, with w a white chocolate "bridge" in between, filled with candies - the pinata outside is coloured buttercream, to look like the tissue paper with basketweave tip. The head was formed from Krispy cereal treat...had legs but they collapsed under the weight of the cake so he ended up lying down on the tray. The birthday girl (11Y) smashed the pinata with a hammer to the delight of everyone.
What a great pinata and sure would love a photo of the young lass smashing it with the hammer. Best birthday cake ever with all that treasure inside.

Losing composure? Sidney Crosby lost his composure, Howard simply stood up for his teammate by making a "glove save". Losing composure would have been giving Crosby a nice BC-goalstick two hander to the back of the knees like he deserves.

Squirrels, a developer of popular AirParrot, Reflector and Slingshot apps, has just released an update to AirParrot for Windows. AirParrot 1.3 corrects audio issues when connecting to an Apple TV and adds a "still mirroring" alert.
When iOS 8 was announced, we could find only a handful of new features that had their counterparts on Apple TV. One of them was the peer-to-peer AirPlay capability which could transform your Apple TV into an anywhere-streaming device rather than being confined to the connected indoors.
Along with iOS 8, Apple has today released a software update 7.0 that works only with the 3rd gen. Apple TV. Apple TV 7 comes with a redesigned interface, Beats Music channel, Family Sharing option and access to iCloud Photos. The 2nd. gen. Apple TV got a firmware update as well (listed as 6.2.1), though it doesn't include the new UI and Beats Music app.
Though Apple spend a huge chunk of yesterday's keynote discussing the Apple Watch, there are still a lot of things which remain unclear. There is no news on the battery life nor on how the fingerprint-level security will be achieved to watch-mediated Apple Pay purchases.
Along with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple announced an entire new product line up today morning. Like many had speculated, its a watch; not called the iWatch though, its the Apple Watch (learn morn about Apple Watch). And among the hundreds of features Apple boasted to be stuffed into this tiny metal square, the Apple TV also made its mark.
Amazon has been battling the Apple TV to find market for its own set top box, the Fire TV. However, that hasn't kept Amazon from bringing its services to Apple TV users, as they just updated their Cloud Drive Photos app for iOS with AirPlay support.

Blowing a Lead to End 2009
Bring on 2010. Let's hope it brings a bit more happiness for Blues fans and season ticket holders. 2009 went out with a whimper on home ice, with the team tossing aside a three goal lead before eventually losing in OT. The obvious New Year's resolution for the Blues entering the New Year: Win a game at home. Close out a lead, and get two points for your home fans. You times are bad when you can count on the broadcast to show the fan's blank faces when the lead is eventually turned over.
Steen scored yet again, and along with Tkachuk and McDonald gave the Blues a commanding 3-0 lead before Vancouver answered very late in the second period. The third period was once again a disaster for the team as the Canucks scored twice, with the equalizing goal coming with just about two minutes left to play. If you're sick of reading this same story you can believe me when I say I'm sick of writing about the Blues blowing another game with under a few minutes to play. It boggles the mind how a team can have so many games given away with under three minutes to play.
The extra period began and Brad Boyes was given a four-minute high sticking penalty which meant disaster for the Blues. Vancouver won the game midway through OT, and it was a third loss out of three from the Blues on their four game home stand. With Chicago coming to town Saturday, this could be an ugly, ugly stand at home.
So Happy New Year everyone! Sorry we are unable to bring you a more uplifting story and account of last night's game. One thing is clear however. With this loss and miserable home stand, it seems to me that big news involving the Blues creeps closer and closer. Honestly, how long can the front office stand pat when fans are seeing loss after loss at home? Let's not kid ourselves, tickets are far from cheap but the Blues continue to sell out games. This trend will not continue given all the disappointing performances and blown leads.
We all know the Blues New Year's Resolution: Win at home. For FrozenNotes, it's to continue bringing you thoughts, news and analysis on all things related to our favorite team. Happy New Year everyone!

First, the basics:
Game Schedules, Tickets and Parking:
MiLB.com has every minor league game schedule. Most have mobile phone versions of rosters/team sites. Game schedules have never been easier to find.
FREE and FREE - Tickets are not sold, attendance is not officially recorded, revenue is not generated.
Who is in the AZL:
Thirteen of the 15 Cactus League participants have AZL teams – the Rockies and White Sox do not.
The Divisions
East: Athletics, Angels, Cubs, Dbacks, Giants
Central: Brewers, Dodgers, Indians, Reds
West: Mariners, Padres, Rangers, Royals
Where the games are played:
Games are played at the Spring Training/ Player Development home facilities of the respective clubs.
Those who attend AZL games include: Scouts, team officials/ executives (or, as I call them, "suits"), parents/friends of players, and true baseball addicts. Add them all together and it's usually fewer than 35 non-uniformed people in the stands.
Most of the AZL games are not played in the stadium, but on each clubs' #1, or Main practice field, which has some sort of seating, usually concrete or metal benches. In addition to the fact that the attendance at any of these games does not warrant the use of a large stadium, there is a greater expense to operate the lights, scoreboards, stadium clean-up etc., and - again - this is a non-revenue generating league.
There are a few teams that will usually play AZL games in their stadiums. A benefit of these games is that the national anthem and mid-inning music are played on the sound system. Graphics will often being displayed on the scoreboard, too.
Teams that play their AZL games in stadiums:
-Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium
-Brewers at Maryvale Stadium
-Giants at Scottsdale Stadium
Mariners and Padres at Peoria Stadium - especially since their practice facility is undergoing a major renovation that is projected to be complete by spring training 2014.
Of course, all of this is subject to change without notice.
Regardless of where the games are played, the players who are not playing that evening sit together behind home plate. Home team stays until mid-way through the game, then they are free to leave.
NOTE: Though they're not playing in the game, they are still working and are to conduct themselves as such. This means no interaction with the public once the game begins.
2013 AZL season returned to the 7PM first pitch for the full season – June 20 until August 29. In years' past, various combinations were utilized, including: 10:30AM for the first half of the season, and then 7PM for the second half.
The Arizona summers, aside from the consecutive 110+ degree days, include the Monsoon season that starts early July and continues through the month of August. Evening dust storms ("haboobs" = dust only, no rain) and thunderstorms (rain producing or not) are a nightly threat. However, the number of games that are cancelled, postponed, or cut-short is minimal. Storms usually pass quickly, but they also can do damage in a short period of time. Just be prepared.
The one constant of the games played in the Arizona Summer League? An average temp of 108 at the time of first pitch, which means: YOU WILL SWEAT, NO MATTER WHAT TIME THE GAMES END.
What to bring:
Most important thing to bring is WATER…LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER!
Concessions are not sold and water fountains are few and far between. Coolers with food, non-alcoholic drinks are allowed. Seeds and nuts, too. Just be sure to pick-up after yourself before you leave!
A towel to sit on, or portable chair, is always a good thing to bring to a game. Always.
Some fans bring their baseball gloves, but they are disappointed to learn that the foul balls must be returned to the teams. There are usually 2-3 pitchers who are positioned in the stands to retrieve foul balls. These young men hate having to ask for the baseballs when a fan gets to it first, but again, this is a non-revenue generating league. Saving money is a priority and every lost baseball means one less for practice.
Why attend these games?:
To see the "babies", the rehabbing players, and to get your baseball "fix."
These young men are professional ballplayers; they are paid to play the game we love. Be the first in your fan base to see the up-and-coming studs, or to catch a glimpse at a rehabbing MLBer. Or...to witness chemistry between a group of players that you just know will be playing together for years to come.
One sure thing is the fact that players will move through the AZL. Never know who will be moving up tomorrow, or the next day. But seeing them play today is the best reason to go to an AZL game…and that's just what I'm going to do, now.
And, if you can't join us at an Arizona League game, the A's were the only team in the league last year to understand the desire of its fan base to be informed on the real-time happenings of the non-broadcast league. Follow: @Cu_As on Twitter for A's games and for the opposing team information as well.

In the days before last week's game against Carey, Calvert coach Todd Fox amped up the intensity, referring to that contest as a "must-win."
The Senecas responded with perhaps their best performance of the year.
But here's the thing about declaring a must-win in Week 6. When you win that game, you still have four more.
Calvert's next test comes tonight, when the Senecas travel west to take on an improved North Baltimore squad.
Again, Fox says Calvert has to take care of business.
"Every week's a must-win; we're looking to justify our win last week," said Fox, whose team sits at 2-4, but is one of the six teams tied for first in the Midland Athletic League with a 2-1 mark.
North Baltimore (2-4) is 0-3 in the MAL despite having the best offense (yardage-wise) in the conference. The Tigers are capable of putting up points - they scored 34 in a loss at Seneca East last week - but their defense has struggled. The Tigers are second-to-last against the run and the pass in the MAL.
"Offensively, they're dynamic," Fox said. "Last week, they didn't back down. They kept playing for four quarters. I think that's one of the biggest things coach [Greg] Bishop's done there."
Tigers' quarterback Lane Bishop is having a stellar season, throwing for 12 touchdowns and more than 1,300 yards. He's also third in the league in rushing yards, with 804.
North Baltimore has the top two receivers - reception-wise - in the league in Gabe Del Los Reyes and Sean Watson. De Los Reyes has 32 catches for 364 yards, while Watson has 28 for 302.
Fox said that defensively, North Baltimore still is "growing."
"They swarm to the football, they play sound, fundamental football," he said. "So we're gonna have our work cut out for us."
Fox said Calvert just needs to play the type of game it showed it was capable of a week ago against the Blue Devils.
"We came together as a group," Fox said. "Wasn't probably the most pleasant week of practice last week or this week, but we're determined to play to the ability we know we've had all season long. We need to continue doing that day after day."
Fox said it all comes down to focus.
"You look at our first five games, we'd be doing great, and we'd lose focus, have a turnover here and there," he said. "Just continue that focus each and every play, and see what the outcome is."
Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

An Asymmetric Information Model of Litigation
Keith N. Hylton
Boston University - School of Law
International Review of Law and Economics, Forthcoming
This paper presents a cradle-to-grave model of tort liability, incorporating the decision to comply with the due-care standard, the decision to file suit, and the decision to settle. I use the model primarily to examine settlement rates, plaintiff win rates, and compliance with the due-care standard. The key results of the model are as follows: (1) litigation to judgment occurs only when some but not all actors comply with the due-care standard, and (2) if defendants have the information advantage at trial, plaintiff win rates generally will be less than fifty percent. I apply the model and its simulation results to several empirical issues in the litigation literature. The model simulation indicates that the British rule for allocating legal costs is superior to alternatives in terms of social welfare. In addition, the model is capable of explaining several empirical features of litigation and puzzles in the literature on trial outcomes.

Deborah k. O'Brien PhotographyReviewed on 10/18/2015 Karen F
We scheduled a meeting with Kate O'Brien based on the recommendation of our venue (Dolce Norwalk) as well as reading the reviews on The Knot. Deborah was very warm, professional and very reassuring.

IRVING - Winning ugly is officially acceptable at Texas Stadium.
It wasn't that way three weeks ago when the Cowboys stalled and sputtered and nearly let a win against the winless Cincinnati Bengals slip away.
That day a struggle didn't seem necessary. That team had Tony Romo, Felix Jones, Mat McBriar, Jason Witten, Adam Jones and Anthony Henry.
The Cowboys had none of the above in the second half Sunday, but an undermanned defense refused to let Tampa Bay find the end zone. Dallas escaped with a 13-9 victory in which gaining yards was a constant battle for either team.
When Jeff Garcia was trying to pass the Buccaneers into the end zone on the final drive, he was going against a nickel defense that featured safety Ken Hamlin and four guys who wouldn't have been there if not for injuries and a suspension.
With no Newman, Jones, Henry or Roy Williams, the Cowboys turned to rookie Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick and two 2007 seventh-round draft picks, Alan Ball and Courtney Brown.
And at day's end, Garcia had thrown 44 passes for a meager average of 5.2 yards per attempt and no touchdowns.
At the other end, Brad Johnson was redefining the word meager with his 3.7 yards per pass. But he refused to turn it over, and thanks to the gift of four Bucs penalties on one drive, produced the only touchdown on a 2-yard fade pass to new Cowboy Roy Williams just before halftime.
Because of a defense that limited the Bucs to three field goals, that was enough.
"Usually you see those rookies back there and you think it's just a matter of time," linebacker Bradie James said. "But everybody stepped up and made plays today."
When the Cowboys lost Henry in the third quarter to an ankle injury, Hamlin gathered the young defensive backs in the huddle.
"I told them that I believed in them and that we all had to execute," he said. "And those guys stepped up."
Although the injuries continued to mount, at least for one Sunday the losing stopped.
For one more week, anyway, the season is saved.
The Cowboys could not afford to go 0-3 during this stretch without Romo. They didn't get the win they would have been most expected to obtain a week ago, when they crumbled in St. Louis. In that game, the defense did not rise up.
In that game, the Cowboys let the Rams reach their season high in points. In the first quarter.
This was different. The Bucs may not have the most dynamic offense, but the Cowboys shut down a good running game and made Garcia and his receivers work so hard for first downs they could never string enough together to reach the end zone.
The defense elevating its play, in some ways, suggested that head coach Wade Phillips had done the same. Instructed by owner Jerry Jones to take a more active role in the defensive signal calling, Phillips would not say what exactly was changed.
But it doesn't matter, really, because the results needed were achieved.
"The nature of the way it fell with the criticism that Wade got and the perception that there was a little added pressure on his part - and perception is reality - what Wade did out there today deserves a lot of credit," Jones said.
This defense isn't what we thought it would be last summer. It probably has too many injuries and too many holes to reach any kind of elite level.
But it can help an offense that struggles mightily without Romo to obtain victories. It kept Dallas in the mix at 5-3 in the NFC East with a big showdown against the Giants coming next weekend in New Jersey.
That means Sunday's win may have been one that saves a spot in the playoffs for Dallas or simply delays the immense letdown that missing the postseason would bring for a team that was 13-3 a year ago.
Getting to 5-3 wasn't supposed to be this tough for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. But just getting there was a significant triumph for the Cowboys on Sunday.

Marouane Fellaini is Napoli's dream target for the midfield. They are waiting impatiently for the result of the meeting between the Belgian international and United's executives, which will happen after the US tour. Napoli hope to be able to complete the operation, also considering that the player is open to moving to Napoli. The wages are an obstacle: Napoli don't want to pay more than €2M, also because they would have to pay a fee for the loan. The situation is evolving, Napoli are working also on the alternatives, like Liverpool's Lucas Leiva, whose loan could be an option, or Manchester City's Javi Garcia. But Fellaini is Napoli's top choice. Napoli are working to give Benitez a midfielder.

The First-Timer's Urban Survival Guide: How to Be Prepared in the City
The Boy Scouts can teach you how to survive if you're lost in the woods. But these days, it sometimes feels more likely that you'll get lost in a big city, which can feel just as intimidating. Here's how to get by when you need to hail a cab instead of start a fire.

I have not written for a while, but I think it's about time somebody did.
Get your Bible (King James version) and start to read it, if you haven't already. The Lord is trying to get our attention. No, the world will not end in a flood, but you can believe me, it's coming close. Same-sex marriage, drugs, living together and not being married, etc.
Has anyone given thought to all the rain falling, booze at the church festivals, bingo in the churches and in parks? Where has all the moral living gone? Oh, yes, bingo. I am not a prude, just a strong believer in God and his way of telling us right from wrong. You don't have to take my word for this. I have seen a lot of evil and sin over the past years and have learned a lot about what and how God wants us to live.
Our kids nowadays cannot learn right from wrong if parents won't teach them or lead them. Children need to be lead, not overlooked. The government says let them express themselves. How can one learn if they cannot be disciplined? After all, there is a difference between cruelty and discipline. Read Proverbs 22:6.
What is abortion, if not murder? What is bingo or the lottery, if not gambling? This is ill-gotten money. This country would not be like this if the government had not taken the Bible out of the schools. Can't anyone see this? When you push God out, away or forget him, it's no wonder we are all having such terrible trouble.
I am sure if you would get God back in your life, your life would change. How long do you want to live in sin instead of salvation? The god of this world is Satan. So many of us are following him instead of God Almighty. Romans 10-13.
Ponder on this letter and see how you feel. Am I right?
Donna Schubert, Republic

Pios rally past Jennings to clinch 4-3A title
JENNINGS – With their backs against the wall and just three outs to go, the Notre Dame Pioneers came though in a big way Tuesday in their District 4-3A matchup with Jennings.
Trailing 2-0 in the top of the seventh, the Pios rallied to tie the game and later took advantage of a two-out error in the eighth to slip away with a 4-2 victory.
The Pios (17-11, 9-0) clinched the District 4-3A championship with the victory.
"This is big for us considering where we got started and where we're ending up," said ND coach Timmy Robichaux, whose squad was 6-11 on the season entering league play. "You're always hoping to be playing well at the back end of the season so now we have a little momentum going."
The Pios were unable to get any momentum going early on Tuesday.
Jennings' Evan Guillory held the Pios hitless for six innings and struck out nine along the way.
That all changed in the seventh inning, however.
Alex Rozas broke up the no-hitter with a drag bunt single to start the frame and after a steal and a wild pitch, he found himself at third base with two outs. He eventually scored on a wild pitch and, following a walk to Jacques Thibodeaux, Gavin Bourgeois delivered an RBI single to tie the game.
"It was a tough game for their starter to lose," said Robichaux of Guillory. "He pitched really well and he had us pretty much the whole game. We just kind of found a way to get on base right there at the end."
Sam Veillon got the Pios going in the eighth by reaching base on an error. Taylor Faulk entered to pinch run for Veillon and stole second base before moving to third on a groundout by Rozas. Brennan Corzine then drew a walk before Joe Faulk's fly ball to right field was misplayed, allowing both runners to score.
Bourgeois, pitching in relief of Brad Stoma, shut the Bulldogs down in the bottom of the frame on a groundout, a flyout and a strikeout.
"Alex got us started in the seventh and then in the eighth, the right fielder had to come in and charge it and I think the pressure kind of got to him and he dropped the ball," said Robichaux.
The Pios had just two hits on the night, both in the seventh inning.
Jennings was led at the plate by Kaleb Chaisson (3-for-5) and Cade Henry (2-for-3).
The Pios will wrap up league play tonight when they play host to Iowa 6 p.m.

Hoyt Axton
Share This
First rising to prominence as a songwriter,
Hoyt Axton
carved out successful careers as a singer and actor as well; rooted equally in country, folk and pop, his gravelly baritone and wry, earthy songs projected an uncommon wit, warmth, and optimism, yielding a consistently engaging body of work extending across four decades.
was born March 25, 1938 in Duncan, OK, the son of a naval officer and his English teacher wife. Raised primarily in Jacksonville, FL, he studied classical piano as a child before switching to guitar, writing his first songs at 15. Despite the musical impact of his mother,
Mae Boren Axton
-- the co-author of
Elvis Presley
's landmark 1956 chart-topper "Heartbreak Hotel" -- he initially pursued a career in athletics, attending Oklahoma State University on a football scholarship before serving a stint in the navy. From there
relocated to San Francisco, performing at local folk clubs and in 1962 writing his first hit, the
Kingston Trio
's "Greenback Dollar." Later that year he issued his first album, The Balladeer, a live effort recorded at the Hollywood nightspot the Troubadour; a concurrent appearance on the television western Bonanza also launched his acting career.
resurfaced in 1963 with Thunder 'N Lightnin', followed later that year by
Saturday's Child
; around that same time one of his best friends suffered a fatal drug overdose, inspiring his song "The Pusher," a hit for the rock band
subsequently included on the soundtrack to the film Easy Rider. Despite his success as a songwriter,
's performing career failed to catch fire, and after 1965's Sings Bessie Smith he was without a recording contract for several years before signing to Columbia in 1969 to issue
My Griffin Is Gone
. While opening for
Three Dog Night
in support of the album, the band heard his composition "Joy to the World" -- their recording of the song topped the pop charts in the spring of 1971 -- and early the following year they returned to the Top Ten with Axton's "Never Been to Spain." He signed to A&M to release 1973's Less Than the Song; the follow-up,
Life Machine
, launched two of his biggest solo hits, the lovely "When the Morning Comes" (a duet with
Linda Ronstadt
) and "Boney Fingers." In 1975,
Ringo Starr
also notched a Top Three smash with
's "The No No Song."
Following the much-acclaimed 1977 album Snowblind Friend,
completed his deal with MCA with the release of
Free Sailin'
; he then formed his own label, Jeremiah Records, and with 1979's
A Rusty Old Halo
scored his biggest solo hit with the classic "Della and the Dealer." In the wake of appearances on dozens of television series including I Dream of Jeannie and McCloud, he landed his first major film work that same year in the acclaimed family drama The Black Stallion;
's subsequent movie roles included co-starring appearances in projects including 1983's Heart Like a Wheel, 1984's Gremlins, and 1989's We're No Angels. After 1982's
Pistol Packin' Mama
, Jeremiah folded, and
was noticeably absent from recording until issuing the comeback album
Spin of the Wheel
in 1990. The LP was
's last major new release, however, and in 1996 he suffered a stroke; his health continued to decline, and after a series of heart attacks he died October 26, 1999 at the age of 61.

about us
Oakridge International Corporation is an environmental services company specializing in recovering raw materials from End Of Life electronic printed circuit boards and other electronic products and components.
Printed Circuit Boards or PCBs are modules of interconnected electronic components formed by a thin layer of conducting materials deposited or "printed" on the surface of insulated boards. They contain materials potentially toxic if released to the environment. However, PCBs are also a potential source of raw materials that can be recovered and reused if recycled in an environmentally correct process.
As digital technology evolves, computer and digital equipment and devices are being retired at an accelerating rate. The United States Environmental Protection Agency estimated that in 2004 more than 315 million computers became obsolete throughout the United States. It is also estimated that over three quarters of all computer equipment ever purchased in the US is now being stored in office closets, basements, garages, and storage units throughout the country.
Around the world, obsolete electronic equipment is typically discarded with domestic refuse, deposited in landfills, or incinerated without any pre-treatment. Without an environmentally correct process, this avalanche of old electronic equipment is not only a waste of valuable resources but also potentially releases hazardous materials into the environment.
Oakridge, utilizing a proprietary recycling technology, will process these End Of Life printed circuit boards with in an efficient and environmentally friendly process that does not involve any secondary pollutants that are harmful to the environment. We will then sell the raw materials recovered from this recycling process to customers in USA and China. These raw materials can be utilized in the manufacture of new products as diverse as plastic lumber and waterproofing products.
We intend to operate recycling facilities in Hong Kong and in the USA. Our main services will include the acquisition of End Of Life electronic PCBs from recycling centers, scrap materials from PCB factories, and other End Of Life electronic sources.

Plasma is a feature added in the Metal Gear Solid Pack to LittleBigPlanet 1. Like spikes and electricity, this hazardous device will kill you on contact. It looks a lot like electricity, except there is more moving white on plasma than electricity. This appears in many of the Metal Gear Solid levels in the form of the plasma turrets. In LittleBigPlanet 2, it is a starting projectile, and the player can now change material to have the properties of plasma. You can also change its color to fit in with the style of the scene. It was also added in LittleBigPlanet 3, LittleBigPlanet PS Vita and LittleBigPlanet Karting.

BERGEN COUNTY — Strong winds could make driving difficult Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service issued wind chill and wind advisories for the area, effective until 6 p.m.
Driving will be especially difficult for high-profile vehicles, the agency warned. Westward winds of 20 to 30 mph are expected, with gusts up to 45 mph.
The winds should diminish by the afternoon, the National Weather Service said.
The National Weather Service also warned of wind chills as low as 15 below zero. The wind, combined with temperatures between 3 and 16 degrees, increase the risk of frost bite and hypothermia, the agency said.
"If you must venture outdoors," the National Weather Service said, "make sure you wear a hat and gloves."
At least one Bergen County school district opted to delay its opening time due to the weather. Classes will start at 10 a.m. Tuesday in the Maywood School District.
"We feel that the concerns of black ice, bitter temperatures and high winds in the early morning impacting student walking and drop offs call for a later, safer start time for all," the district announced on its website. "Please be safe."

In a series of other Tweets, Cher urged her fans to support Chaz, and predicted that he could do well on the show, even though might not be a natural dancer. "Bet VAST MAJORITY of People will LOVE CHAZ on DWTS ... Chaz isn't exactly the 'Gotta Dance Gotta Dance' kinda Guy," she wrote.
For his part, Chaz – the show's first transgender contestant, who will dance with Lacey Schwimmer – also used Twitter to express his gratitude to Cher. "Thanks for all your support mom," he wrote. "The haters are just motivating me to work harder and stay on DWTS as long as I possibly can."
